Do You Support God's Decision Of Sending 2 Bears To Maul 42 Kids To Death by finalboss(m): 5:17pm On Aug 18, 2019 |
A better question would be why would a loving God kill children in the first place. This is what the bible says. (4 Kings 2:23-24) 2.So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake. 23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. If I thought that story was anything more than a myth, I would be aghast. How could modern Christians believe in a God who would do this to little children? Some people realise how embarrassing this passage is for theism and seek to mitigate the impact by saying that the victims were youths or young men, not little children — as if that should make a difference. Although I believe this event never really happened, I do not support a religion that would delight in a story about the divine killing of little children ![]() 5 Likes 2 Shares |

finalboss:1/ Where do you read in all there, that God sent two bears to maul them kids to death, erhn? 2/ A much better question would be, is God less, a loving God, watching as Jews and Co, planned and then eventually killed His Son in the first place? 2 Likes |

Would you in fact deny that it is the sort of thing that the sort of lazy person I responded to here might write? Have you been infected with that persons disease?

budaatum:oga budataaum are u making sense now Please reread your post again and check if their is any atom on sense their, For the question ,God is a loving God but he is also one to execute judgement on defaulters and also at that period their really was no special grace available to people as Jesus had not done his messiach work ,so their punishment was passed immediately. I advise u all to repent and stop Battering words,the end time is near whether u believe or not. 1 Like |

Chidorx60:Don't advise me. It is very clear that the wages of sin is death, but God does not go about killing sinners so I don't know why anyone would be peddling some juvenile theology as if the person they talk to were two years old!

budaatum:your philosophies would have made sense if I was a shallow Christian,but I will put it to you straight I am not a shallow Christian, I have seen the power behind the word u claim to have been written by people. I have experienced the workings of Jesus Christ the righteous, I am not a religious fanatic but a declarer of the wonderful things I have seen and heard.

budaatum:despite the fact that u may lack the capacity to know the rhema of the word I will explain y the kids were destroyed. Aside from non coverage of the forgiveness of all sins by the blood of Jesus , The offenses committed by the kids was one that was unforgivable because,the newly appointed prophet opened his mouth to curse them,God did not take action alone,due to his eagerness to make Elisha know that he has placed him on a powerful office ,God validated the words of his prophet,when a prophet pronounces a Curse it is a sure thing for it to come to being except God decides not to honour it,but in this case he did |

Chidorx60:You mean, "it makes no sense to you", and so be it. You would not be the first to elevate the Bible to God status and bow down and worship it instead of reading and understanding what is written in it. If you did you would understand the Power of the Word and would not dare disobey the following rule! Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 1 Like |

finalboss:Support God's actions? These kids really do not have the slightest idea of who God is, really. Listen, even if it was God who sent the beast to kill those kids, He needs no man's approval. The reason you ask this question is not because you care for those kids, but because you see yourself in those kids who insult God and the people of God, but wants no reprisal. You want to commit your sins and get away with them. Sorry sir. Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished Proverbs 11:21a 5 Likes |

budaatum:The death that sin brings about is not the physical death, it's spiritual. What the Bible calls Second death. Everyone, including Christians die the physical dead, not the Second. SIN DOES NOT KILL PHYSICALLY, IT KILLS SPIRITUALLY. God does not need to go about killing Sinners, for anyone who is not in Christ is dead already. 2 Likes |

Shepherd00:"When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned." - Romans 5:12 "So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man." - 1 Corinthians 15:21 Everything you've so far written on this page I concur with except for this particular comment about physical death. The death that sin brought was both physical and spiritual death. It was delayed physical death and instantaneousness spiritual death. Death essentially, in both cases is a dividing line, a separation as it were to speak |

Shepherd00: budaatum:When the electricity channelled to an iron is switched off after the iron is being hot, though there is no more electricity generating to the iron, it will still be hot due to residual heat. The heat that remains or lingers after turning off the electricity flow to the iron up to when it eventualy turns stone cold, is tantamount to physical death and the actual instance of turning off the electrictity flow to the iron, is tantamount to spiritual death Sin leads to separation, death whether physical or spiritual is a separation and/or dividing line. There is no two ways to this rule. Ezekiel 18:20 states that: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." 1 Like |
