Now we all say we follow the word of God, read my answers, and see the word of God speak loud and clear.

Anyone found in the book of life on the last day.Who then can be saved from the lake of fire ?
2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:Who then can be saved from the lake of fire ?
Your not engaging in the discussion your just avoiding my questions.Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 LIE NOT ONE TO ANOTHER, SEEING THAT YE HAVE PUT OFF THE OLD MAN WITH HIS DEEDS;
10 And have PUT ON THE NEW MAN, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE AFTER THE IMAGE OF HIM THAT CREATED HIM
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things PUT IN CHARITY, which is THE BOND OF PERFECTNESS.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Rahab had to make a choice between loving a neighbor or lying. Do you believe she made the wrong choice?Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Again you didn’t answer the questions you just avoided them.Rahab did what Rahab could do, what do you think anyone can do without receiving the Holy Spirit by belief in the righteousness of Jesus Christ rising from the dead..
John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
The flaw in your words is that Rahab had no Spirit of truth, so how can one tell the truth without it...
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
All lying falls broadly under the Eight Commandment....Bearing false witness against your neighbor.
Sounds like ou are then lying a lot. That does not sound healthy.This often plays on my mind. I work with people with dementia in a nursing home and I often lie to them so they don’t get distressed. For example, a lot of them forget where they are and think they are somewhere else and I often go along with their reality. If I tell them they’re wrong, they become upset and distressed. I like to think God would understand in these circumstances?
Hmmm, I’m sorry but you really don’t have a clue about dementia. If only it was that easy.Sounds like ou are then lying a lot. That does not sound healthy.
Why would you tell them they are wrong? I would not?
I would ask them how they are doing. What is their day like?
You do not have to enter into their dementia with them.
It sounds like you are saying that you have only two options. Join them in their demintia by lying, or correct them and cause pain. That is really limiting.
Think outside that little box.
Them - Am I at home?
You - You are where people love you! In fact, you are wearing the blouse that someone gave you because they love you very much. It is very pretty.
Them - Where am I?
You - Where would you like to be. I would like to be at the park in the shade on a sunny day. Do you like the shade?...
You are simply refocusing them. Like parents do with children. Redirecting.
Peace and Blessings
Telling them these things would just confuse most of them even more and cause them unnecessary distress. I have worked with people with dementia for 12 years.Sounds like ou are then lying a lot. That does not sound healthy.
Why would you tell them they are wrong? I would not?
I would ask them how they are doing. What is their day like?

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.Since all men are liars (in context/ Scripture here)
and
How are any men saved ?
(the disciples (and apostles in NT) once or more times asked Yahshua this same question - "How Then Can WE (apostles and disciples) be SAVED!? "
2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.Again you didn’t answer the questions you just avoided them.
2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.Your not engaging in the discussion your just avoiding my questions.
The Jews in Judaism believe Rahab to be better than Jesus Christ, that, that way is the truth for them, anyone who follows the path other than Jesus Christ is a thief and a robber.Rahab had to make a choice between loving a neighbor or lying. Do you believe she made the wrong choice?
