2 | Rehab's motivation | Josh 6:25 | Chosen Mom | 218302 | ||
Because Rehab did not know the 10 commandments she wasn't morally obligated to obey them(?) Is it that a non-christian is not held to the same accountability as those of us who are saved. Rehab was a harlot (thou shalt not commit adultry) and she deceived the guards looking for Joshua (thou shalt not lie). I wonder if her lie was not to protect Joshua but to protect herself from prosecution for having them in her home. Maybe she was living by the social code of the time where survival was all that mattered.... | ||||||
3 | Rehab's motivation | Josh 6:25 | BradK | 218304 | ||
Hello Chosen Mom, Scripture doesn't speak to her lack of obedience to the 10 Commandments, nor does it to her lie. Again, she is commended for her faith! I think it better to stick with what scripture does tell us than to delve into speculations? 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." James 2:25- "In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
