To be fair, Christians are permitted to lie for the greater glory of God. Romans 3:7.

No that's not what that means in context at all Boru. You cited a specific question " But if by my lie God’s truth is amplified to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? " Which is followed by an answer "8 And why not say, just as some people slanderously claim we say, “Let us do what is evil so that good may come”? Their condemnation is deserved!" The general topic of the chapter is we're all sinners even if God uses our lies for His glory.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
