Irmela Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Q3. (Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25; Matthew 1:5) By faith the prostitute, Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient. In the same way, was not even Rahab, the prostitute ,considered righteous for what she did, when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction. Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of king David, . . . Why is a prostitute honored by being mentioned three times in the New Testament? Rahab was the one mentioned in the New Testament in the genealogy of Yeshuah. She was the same one who helped the spies escape the soldiers of the king of Jericho. She believed that God was indeed the god of Heaven and Earth. She trusted and believed the report about Him, that was the God she wanted to serve. Because of her faith God was able to change her life around, and she was honored for it. How does God look on prostitution? Prostitution is sin in God's sight. How does God look on prostitutes? Christ shed His blood for all kinds of sinners. Thieves, liers, prostitutes. murderers. adulterers, etc., He loves us all, but hates the sin. How did Jesus treat prostitutes? He was caring to all who came to Him. He did not make a difference between the rich and the poor, the ones accepted in society and the cast outs. He in fact said that He came for the 'sinners'. It was them that needed Him. What does this teach us about God's attitude toward sinners and sin? He hates the sin but loves the sinner. He shows mercy and forgiveness to the repentant sinner.
