So, is anybody else puzzled by this?

“By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.” (Hebrews 11:31)

All right, so it doesn’t actually say that she showed great faith by lying to protect the spies. But isn’t that a part of it?

A book I’ve been reading talks about spying being unChristian because of the deceit involved. This incident came to mind. What do you think?
