Every contract God has with men always have a clause..Samson case was one of so many. And there is a consequence attached to terminating a contract with a creator. Another lesson is that he has weakness for women. We should be very careful with women and deal with them with understanding |

I was reading the book of judges last night and I was amazed of how a man can lift the gate of a nation with the pillars on his shoulder and take it to hill top. Thatz really a supernatural power. I thought within me ... If Samson was still alive, will king David had existed? will Goliath had exited ? |

[quote author=hopefulLandlord post=57404257]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 credit: Realmindz[/quote D last part here shows how Gods wisdom supersedes man foolishness.... and Dts d part I love most, it's shows dt no matter how stupid we r, God still keeps his own part of d covenant..it also shows no matter how bad it seem or no matter how we v messed up... Or no matter how well d enemy may v tried... Thrs always a second chance wit God .. Becos God can never be man and man can Neva be God |

OLAADEGBU: Whenever I see topic such as this, I often time feel so very sad at the heresy people throw around and about. It does confirm my fear and worry that 80% of Christians don't read their Bible-they only rely on what their Pastors say and keep that in their head forever, 12% do read the Bible but for theological reasons or ego(to tell you, oh I have read the Bible back and forth three times so I know what I'm saying, some to be able to quote and impress, amongst other things) and just 8% read and study to get the revelation of the truth therein-rhema! Well, the stats is just my observation and absolutely shouldn't be taken for reference purposes-disclaimer. Back to the topic: I have few questions to ask you, just to stir up your spirit, as I intend not to force my teaching on anyone since the Spirit of God is dynamic and is also free for all who believe. 1.) How many times in the Bible did the Angel of the Lord appeared to any woman(women) to talk about the birth of a child? 2.) How many times would the Angel give warning about abstinence from alcohol and strong drink because of an unborn child? 3.) When Manoah asked the Angel what his name was, what was the Angel's reply? Praise God, you see, I'm not trying comparative literature here, I want us(true believers) to seek the true revelation of the word and not as a scholar, scribe or manipulator, just to suit our own teaching. 4.) Why would an (ordinary, with all the due respect)Angel ascend into Heaven in the flames of the sacrifice meant for God? Now, I've listened to people, even teachers alike call Samson a lot of so many not-so-nice names, then I wonder if they didn't read verse 4 of chapter 14 or they deliberately left it out so it won't counter their sermon. Also, someone said the Spirit of God came upon Samson three times and I tell you, verse 25 of chapter 13 says otherwise. One other thing, not only did women betrayed Samson, his friend(male) also did, when he married the wife Samson had already done the wedding rites with. chapter 14 and verse 20. Oh God, let me not in that day of my lowest point pray for my life to be taken away. Amen. Samson did, just as Elijah did and I just believe God could have delivered me(if he had once carried the city gate to a mountain on his shoulder, come on, he might just have survived the hit of the collapse) and perhaps God would have given him another sight(not eyes), if he prayed for it. Let me stop here for now, for us to meditate on this rather than call Samson an idiot for trusting a woman, the same way Adam believed his wife. 1 Like |

manikspears:when footballers are in the pitch with all the heat and pressure still not performing up to expectations it's very easy for spectators sitting in the comfort of their homes to rain insults and disappointment, but force them to the pitch if they can do any better, you don't conclude on a situation when you have never found yourself in same situation, allow them to run their mouth they could be worse than him..biblical Samson |

hopefulLandlord: Lol! Sir you really raised some reasonable points. My only problem was when you now tried to make a mockery of the Bible. First of Samson was no ordinary man. He was born a nazarite and he had tremendous enduement of God's might... Which was mostly physical. If anything Samson lacked that control over his needs, he was over confident and that was what consumed him. Secondly, what the Philistines did is exactly what Nigeria as a country is doing now regarding the Biafra ish. Happenings that clearly lead to the worst battle in Nigeria history are all playing out again before our eyes and everyone seem to have forgotten. |

Samson life should be an example for us all. Don't let us judge him that he was stupid and senseless, some of us are worst than him. To learn exclusively about Samson life, get this book: Samson syndrome. It is a book that contains information about Samson which will help us to avoid his mistakes. . Thanks.
