For some people, translations are a reason
to get into a major snit. For example, this nice Jewish fellow says:
“The
common teaching in churches is that Rahab the Harlot is listed in the genealogy
of the Messiah. That is a lie from the pits of hell.”
From the pits of hell. Okay, then; that’s
pretty serious. Let’s capitalize the word “harlot” too, just so nobody ever
forgets where Rahab came from.
