Story of Samson is arguably the most absurd story ever!!!!

Samson was a man given ultimate power by Yaweh but fell in the hands of Delilah to the philistines.

Delilah tried to get the deepest secret samson ever had, the secrets of his power...and the story went like this:

1st attempt: After much pressure, Samson gave Delilah a wrong answer "If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."

And behold the very next day, Samson was bound with seven green withes..


People tell me, even the most stupidest person in the world will realise at this point he has been betrayed, but dont laugh yet as there was attempt no 2

No 2: After the 1st failed, the strongest man had no clue his most precious secret has been given away by the only woman he told but went ahead to bow to more pressure and he gave another wrong answer as "If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."

Behold, the very next day, his hands were tied with the new ropes but is it not amazing that he still had no clue he was being betrayed?? Now at this point I am almost passing out of shock for this level of stupidity if it ever existed


Attempt no 3: Yes there was a 3rd attempt, believe me a 3rd attempt !!!!!
"If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
and yet it happened again.


Even if someone is cursed with stupidity, it cant be this terrible to now give a 4th chance of eventually revealing his most precious secret to som1 that has betrayed him 3 times consecutively..

Aba!!! bible stories??

Now guys, don't laugh off your eyes yet because the part that killed it all was after the philistines cut off his hair and finally caught the most dreaded enemy of their generation.

These guys knew his source of power was his hair, but it is astonishing that a large number of stupid people did not know hairs can grow...or did not know that they would need to shave off his hairs daily but they let him alone till his hairs grew back.

The writer (s) must be on some strong stuff; but christians believe this story!! infact they have an obligation to
it's actually an astrological story of the god of war(Mars) becoming weak in the house of Venus.
Venus bribed by the enemies of the God of war,helped to trap the god of war.

One Lesson To Learn From The World's Strongest Man Ever

He was an epitome of a one-man army. He was such a mighty warrior and man of valor that he could singlehandedly take on the whole army of a nation and yet emerge victorious. John 15:1-16

He once held a whole nation and all of their military might to ransom by himself, that even if he was alone and they were many, if they saw him coming, they would deem it wise to flee than to confront him. His name alone was such a terror to them that even if he weren't anywhere close, just calling his name could give them panic attacks.

He gave them sleepless nights, day and nightmares at the time that whenever they held a meeting, he would be the one name on everyone's lips. The whole agenda and focus of the meeting would be on how to stop him. Judges 16:5

He also fought a lion with his bare hands and still won the battle easily.

Judges 14:6 (KJV)

And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

So Samson had been there and done that when it came to greatness and fame, however there came a time when Samson crashed. He fell so greatly as his monumental rise, that it was the same enemies that once used to dread him that were now using him to catch fun and make jokes.

They even took out his eyes to compound his misery, as he was now their prisoner, so they wanted to use the opportunity to eke out and make him pay for all the terror and pain he caused them.

The reason for Samson's shameful fall was pride and lust. He lost focus on God who gave him such an unprecedented ability and began to chase the carnal things of life that came as a result.

He made a terrible mistake by forsaking God who was the Source of his strength, hence his fall, however instead of giving up on himself and allowing that sin and shame to keep him away from God as it did Adam and Eve in the beginning, it made him to come back and draw closer to God, asking for His help.

Judges 16:28 (KJV)

And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

God heard Samson's prayer and made him strong again as he used to be that it was said that in his death, he achieved a much greater feat than he had done in his entire lifetime.

Judges 16:29-30 (KJV)

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.


So no matter how far you've gone away from God, no matter how low you've consequently fallen, don't give up on yourself because God has not given up on you.

Do not let your sin and shame keep you away from God as it did Adam and Eve.

Instead come back to God who is able to mend your broken pieces and make an even better you than you ever was.

That's one lesson to learn from Samson the strongest man that ever lived.

God bless.
So in essence, Samson committed suicide. I'm sure Boko Haram members will like this story very much. Lol

This is why i SIN, smoke and chase women
Because i know that God will Always Accept Me No Matter What I Do
God is a Merciful God
your sin is against yourself,your body,your soul.
Your sin doesn't affect God.
If out of promiscuous life,you contract STDs,how does that affect God?
If you smoke nicotine and get lung cancer,how does that affect God?
If you become a habitual drunkard translating into a society laughing stock,how does that affect God.
In the book of Job,one of Job's friend told him"God is in the heavens,if you sin,your sin can only affect your fellow man,not God.
We are sinning against our body and soul not against God.
The earlier we know this the better for us

You’re right.

Sango, please forgive me for what I’m about to type.

You see, the authors of the Bible were not intelligent at all. (I did not want to say they were stupid & foolish).

There are so many Inconsistencies, Lies & Contradictions - not just in the “Book of Judges” (Samson’s Exploits), but in the entire Holy Bible as a whole.

Take for instance, this following scriptures below:

Judges 15:4&5 - And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.

And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

Wait! You caught 300 foxes? How? Where? When? grin

When they were sleeping? grin

Even rabbit cannot be easily caught unless with traps.

Get the fvck outta here!

Judges 15:8 - And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.

Now, this is where I gave up on the Samson Story.

Judges 15:15 - And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

In some Country’s Army Formation, that is equivalent to a Battalion.

One man? Slaughtering a whole battalion with the jaw-bone of a donkey?

Kaiiiiii!

Except he has the Regenerative Healing Factor of Wolverine, Magnetokinesis of Henrik Lehnsherr (Magneto), Force Field Generation of Elohim-Shen-Ra and the Telekinetic Shields of Jean Gray.

Walahi Talahi,

Na BMPT Terminator, BM-21 Grad & Iskander-M (tipped with tactical nukes) na him we go take kill am if I were a Military General contending with an enemy like Samson.

Think about it, one powerful individual would take down a whole battalion of Russian Army however powerful he might be?

Even the North Korean or the Iranian Army will decimate him without any hassle.

In all, the Bible stories are nothing short of bedtime stories used in nudging babies to sleep at night.

That is why I concur with this beautiful quote of Mark Twain attached below.

1st attempt: After much pressure, Samson gave Delilah a wrong answer "If they bind me with seven green withes that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."

And behold the very next day, Samson was bound with seven green withes..


People tell me, even the most stupidest person in the world will realise at this point he has been betrayed, but dont laugh yet as there was attempt no 2

No 2: After the 1st failed, the strongest man had no clue his most precious secret has been given away by the only woman he told but went ahead to bow to more pressure and he gave another wrong answer as "If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."

Behold, the very next day, his hands were tied with the new ropes but is it not amazing that he still had no clue he was being betrayed?? Now at this point I am almost passing out of shock for this level of stupidity if it ever existed


Attempt no 3: Yes there was a 3rd attempt, believe me a 3rd attempt !!!!!
"If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
and yet it happened again.


Even if someone is cursed with stupidity, it cant be this terrible to now give a 4th chance of eventually revealing his most precious secret to som1 that has betrayed him 3 times consecutively..

Aba!!! bible stories??

Now guys, don't laugh off your eyes yet because the part that killed it all was after the philistines cut off his hair and finally caught the most dreaded enemy of their generation.

These guys knew his source of power was his hair, but it is astonishing that a large number of stupid people did not know hairs can grow...or did not know that they would need to shave off his hairs daily but they let him alone till his hairs grew back.

The writer (s) must be on some strong stuff; but christians believe this story!! infact they have an obligation to

Story of Samson is arguably the most absurd story ever!!!!

I love your analyses but there are some things you don't understand by Samson's story. Truly, he ought to have known that Delilah was meant to betrayed him. The problem there was that Samson was spiritually insensitive to the danger Delilah posed to him because he was spiritually dead. He broke most of the Nazirite vows before the last straw (the cutting of his hair): he ate honey from the carcass of the lion he killed, hence breaking one of the Nazirite codes of Conduct. Wanting to marry a non-Israeli woman too was another breaking of Nazirite Codes. Moreover, he lived careless lifestyle. All these contribute to his inability to sense approaching danger.
