| Hello edna, In answer to your question, note Rahab's words to the spies in 2:9-11- "...I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before you. Josh 2:10 "For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. Josh 2:11 "When we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath." She had obviously heard the miraculous event of the parting of the Red Sea and believed the Lord God! The most notable result of her actions are that she was commended for her faith in Heb. 11:31- "By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace." (cf James 2:25) Nothing is mentioned of her "lying" in scripture as being sinful! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
