    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    I am not too far behind you in age. Unless you used flowers in your post and or you employed feminine markings in your avatar or signature (to indicate you are female), there really is no way for me to know that unless I clicked on each person’s avatar and I looked deeper into their profile...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Thank you. Jesus said be ye perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect. But I don’t believe Sinless Perfection is a salvation issue because I see Sinless Perfection as putting away sins that do not lead unto spiritual death. But that’s a topic for another discussion. I don’t have any of these...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Yes, I am proud to say that. No, it’s called having an appreciation for God’s Word and His good ways. Most don’t care to act as a defense lawyer for GOD. They could care less. They just are blind following sheep. If they are told that God told Hosea to marry a prostitute, they believe it...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Yet, Revelation 21:8 says all liars will have their part in the Lake of Fire. John 8:44 says the devil is the father of lies. So what else can we do to save men’s lives? What depths of sin can we do in exchange to save others? Would we be willing to fornicate or steal, or hate Christians to...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Yes, I believe in the possibility that David could have lied in this situation. But I know GOD is merciful and I imagine David probably later confessed of this sin to the LORD (even if it is not written). Remember, he that confesses and forsakes sin shall have mercy (Proverbs 28:13). So if...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Romans 2:14 says, “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves” How is this possible? It’s only possible if God imbued men with some form of ethical standards. You turn on the news and you...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Yes, while I appreciate the side bar, ultimately this thread is about Rahab, my friend.

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Oh, wow. So you believe he rebuked me? You are far out there in left field somewhere, friend. Not even close. This person mocks apologetics and sounds like a child (using wresting terms of which reminds me of kids in my high school years). This person says they do not care for apologetics...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Actually, I have a pretty thick skin, and I attempt to pray, and love those who do wrong towards me. But I will not let people walk over me, either. For is that not one reason why we correct our children when they do wrong? Anyways, it’s not just about my feelings here at all. We are on a...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Regardless of you intentions, by saying “Ouch” it makes it sound like you are joining in on the fun like those who may smile and say “ouch” in a barbaric game of violent sports. Saying “Ouch” is not a form of correction, but it is an encouragement of his words. It does not mean you were...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Yes, this is the nature of this thread. I am defending God’s good ways, and yet others are saying that God commended Rahab for lying when God cannot lie. So why would God commend or agree with a lie then? He wouldn’t. I don’t discount the possibility that Rahab lied. But I also do not...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    First, it is childish for a person to even speak this way. Smack down? Are we back in high school? Really? Does one love the stupidity of wrestling to use such verbiage? This was highly inappropriate of him to say this. Christians are to speak in love and respect with each other, and your...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Apologetics does not mean to apologize in the way we understand that word (Like saying, “I am sorry”). It means to defend the truth of what the Bible says. It is an attempt to uphold the integrity of the Bible. Some apologetics or defenses for the Bible are not all good ones, but some I have...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    I believe there is a God honoring way to use the word “damn” (like talking about a damn connected to a bridge, or in reference to the things in the Bible, like a person who may be damned if they do wickedly and refuse to repent), and then there is a not so God honoring way for the use of the...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Posting emoticons do not undo your illogical statements. Again, you are not qualified to truly make any kind of judgment on the content or quality of my apologetics if you find apologetics resources (articles, videos, or live speeches) fruitless to begin with (Suggesting you do not even read...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    But not all will be saved. Jesus said narrow is the way and few be there that find it. It depends on what definition of argue you are referring to. Source: ARGUE English Definition and Meaning | Lexico.com If you are referring to the first definition, you would be incorrect. Jesus...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    How would you know I am not good at apologetics? You said back in this post here that you don’t even care for apologetics and you said it is fruitless (Which suggests that you don’t read apologetic articles making you unqualified to make such a kind of judgment).

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Again, you automatically assume she lied when she may not have lied (as one possibility). I am also not discounting the possibility she may have lied (as I said before in my opening posts). But we need to deal with how it was possible in light of reading James 2:25. Which fits well in the...

    Did God commend or approve of Rahab’s lie?

    Nope. I am referring to make believe Christianity (that believes they can sin and still be saved), and not the real deal obviously. Jesus said narrow is the way that leads unto life and few be there that finds it. Again, I am not saying that Rahab may not have lied. It certainly is a very...
