Meanwhile, as though perfectly opposite in contrast to Rahab, Achan looked the part, was called the part and had reputation to boot, but he hid something in his tent as Rahab did. He hid a wedge of gold and Babylonish garment and silver. He defied the authority of God in his nation. He was buried beneath a heap of rubble as Jericho was.
It was like Rahab and Achan, though so different on the outward, exchanged places and truly belonged to the other's nation.
Perfect cases of the outward not matching the inward, with the more "holy" outward person being the fake. Lessons that show the outward is not a gauge to go by, by any means.

Have you ever heard of the "Fallacy of Equivocation/Non-Sequiter"? You should study into these logical fallacies...you're grossly guilty of them above.
2 Cor. 7 tells us that we should have both inward & outward holiness...not one or the other! Try again Mike.
