No anger here. Just shocked that people cannot discern basic morality.

Words mean things. When God says not to murder, then God would be contradicting Himself if He told the Israelites to murder. Think.

No. I don’t believe lying is okay under any circumstance. That is what you appear to believe.

Uh, no. Proverbs 30:20 would actually apply to you who because you are defending the idea that God was okay with Rahab lying (Which in turn means we can do the same thing and be okay with God). Clever word play is what Jesus did with the Jews many times. Do believe Jesus when He said He would...

Again, where is the line drawn? When a person justifies lying to save life what other sins are they willing to do so as to save life? Would you and your family worship the beast if it meant you could save your own lives by having food?

First, the mob boss is not God. Second, God can by his permissive will allow men to be deceived because they have rejected the truth of God’s Word. This does not mean God agrees with lying or it is a part of His higher good will for men to be deceived. It just means that there is a...

You really don’t understand. Murder is when a person takes life without God’s say so. It is not murder when God commands others to take life by His command. That’s not murder. If you believe otherwise you need to prove God commanding the Israelites to take life is called murder in the...

Rahab did do a good work in protecting the spies. But nowhere does James commend Rahab for her lying to the guards which is not mentioned by James. You are somehow inserting that into James statement when that is not the case.

No. God is the giver and taker of life. Job was correct. Read the verses in this following article here: https://www.neverthirsty.org/bible-qa/qa-archives/question/when-someone-dies-is-god-always-control-death/ (Please keep in mind that I may not agree with everything that this website or...

So what do you think happened at the battle of AI? Did not God use deception as a part of the battle plan? What about Jesus not revealing who He really was on the road to Emmaus? Why would Jesus let the Jews walk away misunderstanding what He said about His raising up the temple? Jesus could...

So God’s Word bothers you? That means you have a problem with God’s Word and that’s not right. In the passage you quote, God is not to blame for any lying here because it is the fallen angel who is doing the lying. God gives people over to a strong delusion to believe a lie because they have...

Again, I explained in the opening of this thread (starting in post #2) that it is possible that she did not lie. Although I do count it as a possibility she may have lied, too. If such were the case, then God was commending her for her protection of the spies, and not her lying to the guards...

Also, James 2:25-26 is referring to the spies and not the guards. So her receiving the spies and sending them out a safer way is not lying. So even if Rahab did lie involving the guards, this was not the thing that God was commending her for. God was commending her actions involving the safe...

How does this verse prove that she was lying?

If God commands the taking of life, it is not murder because God is the ultimate giver and taker of life (Job 1:21). But when it comes to lying, God cannot lie (Hebrews 6:18). Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44). All liars will have their part in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). These are...

Well, Revelation 21:8 says all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire. Hebrews 6:18 says, "it was impossible for God to lie, " John 8:44 says Satan is the father of lies. So obviously God's Word cannot contradict itself. I think there is good deception and bad deception. Good...

So then how do you reconcile James 2:25-26 with the moral dilemma involving Rahab and the guards? Surely God's Word is true and it is simply our misunderstanding of what is really going on.

James 2:25-26 (KJB) 25 "Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." Yes, this is why I am convinced that she did not lie...

I am shocked at people's inability to understand basic morality here. When you watch a movie, do you not root or cheer for the good guys to triumph over those who do evil? Think. God is good and He cannot agree with any kind of sin. Read your Bible more and pray to the Lord and talk to Him...

You mean "complicit" and not "complicate." In any event, God was not complicit in any evil in creating Lucifer because God did not create him to be evil as a part of his initial creation. Angels are free willed moral agents. Lucifer was once a good angel who was said to be perfect in all his...
