See, this is the problem in others thinking Christians are hypocrites. They say… you should not lie. Oh, but wait. We defend Rahab lying. Really? Are you serious? This is simply being double minded. The devil is the father of lies (John 8:44). ALL liars will have their part in the Lake of...

What better way do you think God wants you to engage with His Word?

Look more carefully at her words. It could be read that way, but it also could be read in a way that she was referring to the spies’ final end destination. For if you took her words and placed it into the context of that kind of saying… and it fits… then viola…. I am right. Her words appear...

Ah, yes. I forgot about this one. Your right. But there are other places in the New Testament whereby Jesus said something and others thought the wrong thing. Many of His disciples stopped following Him because they thought He was talking about cannibalism (eat of my flesh and drink of my...

Quote the text where you believe he lied and lets address it. I am not going to talk about hearsay of what you think the text said. You no doubt are reading something into the text that is not there.

Jesus is GOD almighty in the flesh and yet He did not let everyone know He met that He was GOD. It was revealed to Peter by the Father that Jesus is the Son of God. This was hid from others. At the time of Christ’s ministry: The mysteries of the Kingdom were not given to your average Jew, but...

Nowhere does Abraham say that he denied Sarah was his wife and thereof it was not a lie. They did not ask him,…. “Is this your wife?” And Abraham replied…. “No.” That did not happen but only in your own imagination. He said that Sarah was his sister and that was a true statement.

Yes. My mistake. Wrong story. It still does not change anything. God’s standard of morality on lying cannot change. Lying is condemned because Satan is the father of lies.

You have a funny idea about sin. Doing a wrong to justify what is right is never good. I am not against the possibility of Rahab sinning, but there needs to be a good explanation for this in light of reading James 2:25.

So you would rather have people misunderstand the Bible and walk away from the faith because you don't care to give sound explanations of what is really going on? That does not sound very loving of others. Did not Jesus expound upon the Scriptures? Did not the apostles explain what God's Word...

Lot is actually Abraham’s nephew and yet he calls him brother (Genesis 14:14). So words like brother or sister have a wide semantic scope of meaning in their culture, and it could be in reference to any male relative from a different mother and father. Sarah was Abraham’s half sister and so...

No sir, she said she did know where they were headed. Which is true because she did not know the final destination.

I would encourage you to do a topical study on lying by asking GOD’s help on the matter, and then read through everything in this thread. Side Note: Look at the different variations on the word “lie” at BlueLetterBible (like liars, lying, etc.).

Not true. Revelation 21:8 says all liars will have their part in the lake which burns with fire (Which is the second death). Revelation 21:8 says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have...

Barney: Is the devil the father of lies according to John 8:44? Yes, or no? If you say… yes. Then you must believe Rahab was partaking in being involved in the devil’s ways who is the father of lies. Yet, God was commending her for a later action that was tied to this sinful action that is a...

As I told you, I am not in disagreement with James 2:25. But again, you will not find anywhere in Scripture of it saying that Rahab lied. Nowhere. Zip. Nadda. It is your own imagination or interpretation of the text that she lied. Now, can a surface reading of Joshua 2:4-5 make you believe...

Uh, no. That’s ridiculous. Yes, we are to admire Jesus who is God. If we admire God, that means we are seeking God’s attention and admiration. You missed the point with Job, and David. God was impressed with Job. “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that...

I believe James 2:25 just fine. Rahab did send the soldier out another way and God declared her righteous by this work. But the Scriptures don’t say Rahab lied like you do. You can make an assumption she lied, but the text does not specifically say she lied. I was able to explain how Rahab’s...

And what perspective would that be?

Impress: Defined as: to cause (someone) to feel admiration or interest So you are saying that we as Christians are not to win God’s admiration? 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10 says: 8 “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord JesusChrist: 9...
