I'm convinced that the only reasonable conclusion to make in this case is that God can and sometimes will overide His own law in an individual case.
I don't think it's fair to say that He "overrides" His own Law. But I do think it may be fair to say that there are
higher laws that trump lower ones. The law of gravity is not repealed to allow an airplane to fly. Rather, it appears to "break" the law of gravity because other laws apply.
Murder is never God's will! Yet before creation, He
ordained the murder of His own Son:
...this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men... (Acts 2:23)
He was put to death before the foundation of the world, to allow "airplanes" (sinners) to "fly" (be justified).
