(if you want to use the word explicitly, that would only establish that it's okay to house isreali spies - and only for Rahab-...btw, you'll need to find a different word to use..you know, one that implies a measure of ambiguity and malleability.....lol - something along the lines of subjective, or relative)
I see your ability to reason hasn’t improved any during my hiatus, that’s unfortunate but not surprising.
1. Your example about the convicted felons is irrelevant because we are discussing whether the Biblical concept of morality justifies deceiving someone in order to save an innocent person’s life, not a convicted criminal from apprehension by the authorities, try to stay on topic. I realize you’d be the guy telling the Nazis where the Jews were, but that is not relevant to this discussion.
2. You’re apparently unaware that the word explicit has multiple meanings, I was using it to mean given in realistic detail, which Joshua 2 does.
3. You apparently do not understand what an objective standard is.
4. You’d be well served by relinquishing some of the pointless sarcasm and taking such discussion a bit more like an adult.
