Hebrews 11 says that Rahab did what she did because of faith. James 2 says it was by works that she was justified. No one knows how long the argument about faith “or” works has been disputed. Many arguments about many subjects are about “either” or “or” when there is a third possibility that is “either” ignored “or” rejected! Some people really do just like to argue and win. But the third (or fourth, or…) alternative could be the answer that could make everybody happy. Rahab was justified by faith AND works. Period. Now quit fighting about it and read about her.
