Dutch citizens sometimes hid Jewish refugees during WWII. When the Nazis came looking, they had an obligation to (i) tell the truth, and (ii) protect the innocent. The second obligation is the stronger one. Those who risked their lives to protect Jewish refugees made the right ethical decision. If they had turned the Jews over, they would have done wrong. Nothing subjective about that. The question is, What obligations does God consider most important when there are conflicts?Jeff Koperskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16476730022351846688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583580069748378030.post-82209556218336204832008-11-15T17:03:00.000-05:002008-11-15T17:03:00.000-05:00Rahab was an interesting charactor.One of the ques...Rahab was an interesting charactor.One of the questions that I have is; Why did God chose to use Rahab. God choosing a prositute to help the two men just blows my mind. However it does give me an idea that he can use even the sin that we are in for something good. <BR/><BR/>Rahab repenting...? I have a hard time believing that after Jerico was destoried but her house stood, she didn't get a glisps of how big strong and just God really is. Rahab had faith since she had talked to the spies, but Rahab expericed God grace and Mercy first hand. I think after that <BR/>'ah ha' moment she relized that she needed to repent. The bible never says she does, which leads me into my last comment. Unanswered questions have puzzled me for seven years. I am as we say at school... a math person, which means that I am an answer person. A person like me must learn to except the information that we have and then smiply trust God for the rest. God is really my favorite part ever, because to figure him out I have to search to find out about him. Like an advanture. These advantuures allow me to learn about me and about my Lord. So I am glad that God doesn't give us the answers... it is an advanture that makes us search for our God, in the process we grow closer to the heart of our King, and we find out more of ourselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
