Question about 1 Samuel 15

[mont974x4]

Instead of further hijacking this thread, I'm going to start a new one.

Instead of offering advice to others, perhaps he should go back and actually study what Scripture says and join an honest discussion.

I do. It's called inductive Bible study.

 

[Mathetes the kerux]

Tell that to someone who actually cares what you think. You haven't earned the right to give me advice. I don't know you, and I haven't asked for advice. I give advice to people who ask and friends. Again, I didn't ask for your advice, and you don't know me nor have shown me that you care enough to be a friend, especially when you accuse me of arrogance publicly. You got a problem, you take it to me in person. Advice, great. Addressing a problem, great. Try following Jesus on that one. You know, take it to your brother in person. Then with 2-3 people. Then with the church.

Ok . . . Jaws . . . you have been pointedly arrogant and offensive. Per Matt. 18 the gentleman doesn't NEED to EARN anything from you. Simply by virtue of his relationship with Christ he is your BROTHER (as am I) and that ALONE is all one needs to be according to Christ's teaching.

I appreciate your zealousy and input and knowledge. But I really must take a stand here . . . please season your *knowledge* with the wisdom of one who has been saved by the grace of God . . . otherwise you are bordering on the slave who was forgiven much and chose NOT to grant grace to another who owed him little.

This question sounds like "Why would G-d do something I do not understand or like?".

nope

I got reported for "harassment/flaming" for it . . . I really don't know why . . . I thought it was humble and presented right and in the right spirit . . .

Didn't he say something about not wanting your advice?

 

[mont974x4]

no worries, I was reported a few days ago too.

 

[CShephard53]

Didn't he say something about not wanting your advice?

I did, but I've made a rule not to talk about reports. I've learned that the mods don't like it.

 

[Mathetes the kerux]

Nope . . . not me . . . another gent.

Post number 39 to Dcyates.

Um . . . it wasn't me Jaws . . . it was Dcyates you said you didn't want advice from.

You didn't catch the last part? About private vs. public? You think it only applies to him?

Huh? You never said ANYTHING to me . . . private or public . . . about not wanting my adivce.

Read post 39 (the one you quoted) and the PM I sent you again, then come back to me.

I am currently studying 1st and 2nd Samuel, I am having a hard time with this chapter. Why would God ask Saul to kill innocent children? I know that their parents were not God's chosen people (Jewish) but still, I can not understand this. Can someone shed the light on this scripture a little more for me?

are there not some tribes in africa at present where 70-80 % are infected with aides?

or with sodom and gammorah infected with evil...

what ever the reason, there was a reason (Dt. 29.29 a need to know basis) for what God requested of Saul to destroy everything ... man, woman, child, animals, homes ...

what of the black death in europe ... rats and feas ... destroy clothing , homes, to kill infection and stop plague...
