I don't think this is the first time God has used a prostitute to destroy evil or an evil person, I'm not sure, but it seems to me that God used a whore to help save some Jews at Jericho.
Any preachers out there than can help or correct me on that?
And she was in the lineage of Christ. Rahab the harlot.
Uhh...yeah, technically correct probably: Rahab the harlot (read the book of Joshua, Chapters 2 and 6, for the story). However given that she is listed in Hebrews 11 as a member of the exclusive pantheon of the champions of faith, and that she was the great-great grandmother of King David -- and thus in the line of our Lord Jesus Christ .... I think I'd be a little more respectful. Once a sinner (as are we all), but then through faith washed by the blood of Christ.
God has his ways. Sometimes it may involve a prostitute, sometimes it may involve fire and brimstone.
Well, Delilah was the courtesan of Gaza who corrupted Samson long enough to end up finding out the source of his strength and cut off his hair, rendering him helpless. Samson was in his own way corrupt enough to be taken advantage of by Delilah and Samson’s penance was to end up dying after pulling down the evil temple. Delilah did redeem herself in the end by refusing to escape to safety, dying with Samson.
