Bible Question: Was it morally acceptable for Rahab to lie, to save the lives of the Israelite spies? (I think of so many instances of people hiding others from those who intend violence... Nazi germany, Rwanda...) |
Bible Answer: JRM, You will find no where in the bible that teaches it is morally acceptable to lie. It's the corrupt nature that would agree with that which is in contradiction to God's law (1 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 8:7). Steve |
