“I see no need to try to justify Rahab’s lie. Was it necessary for a greater good? Certainly not.... He certainly could have saved Rahab and the spies without a lie... The lie is not what made her actions commendable. It was the fact that she turned down an easy reward, put herself in jeopardy, and thus staked everything on the God of Israel.”

‌—John MacArthur, Twelve Extraordinary Women
