Subject: ever neccessary/permissable to deceit? |
Bible Note: I have every confidence that Jesus would do exactly what His followers have done for centuries, and continue to do today. Reading in Hebrews 11 today, it registered that many in that list involves men and women whose "deceptive" achievements got their names into "Hall of Faith" for "deceiving the enemy." Moses’ parents deceived Pharaoh. Gideon deceived the army with torches and horns. Barak’s story includes the woman who deceived the enemy into coming into her house, so she could kill him. The list goes on. One of my favorites in Hebrews 11 is Rahab. BY FAITH, Rahab the harlot escaped from being destroyed with the unbelievers, FOR she had received the spies in peace. When the king’s men asked her where they were. She deceived them into believing they had gone, thus saving their lives, her families', and her own. Talk about faith. The justified end means she became an ancestor to our Lord. PTL |
