Excuse me, but how does Rahab fit with the above?
You don't think Rahab joined with the Israelites after Joshua 6:23?
Sis, I think, she is called Rahab the harlot as to differentiate her from other individuals who may have the name Rahab. Not that it was a part of her DNA, or that she came from a race of harlots.

It doesn't say what her behavior was afterwards. The assumption is made she cleaned up but we don't know that for sure. We assume that because we expect harlots to stop doing what they do when they become part of "church". However, if you take a harlot and put her in a church, even with a faith experience she is not going to act like the sweet little church girl who was raised nicely. It's not in her make-up. What I am saying is that what is good and evil is not as readily evident to everyone as some people suggest.

Didn't israelites stone women to death for adultery? Rahab married an israelite, no? I think the fact that she cleaned up is implied. I've never heard of any biblical cases where married women openly sold their bodies without repercussions. This was not the norm for Jewish people.
In any case, the story of Rahab and children sold as sex slaves are really two different scenarios.

I suspect Rahab cleaned up. But her behavior was probably never the same as the daughter of an upright Israelite.

You mean someone from outside the group can never really get it together?
