Abeg na where you copy this one from?

KingEbukaNaija:


Samson was known for his strength and not wisdom - he acted stupidly of course . Delilah tried three times to inveigle Samson to reveal the secret of his strength. And she failed to three times because Samson deceived her with various stories. Samson was just playing games with her as the Spirit of God had left him because he disobeyed God's law by showing intentions to marry a Philistine woman despite the act being a violation of God’s law on intermarriage with pagans . And of course , he was totally in love with her . Love is blind

Anyway , Samson’s hair was not the source of his strength - his unshaven hair was simply the sign that he was obeying God’s command for him to be a Nazarite. The Spirit of God was the source of Samson's strength not his hair .

Judges 16: 17
And he told her all his heart, and said to her, “A razor has never come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If my head is shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man.”

According to the dictionary , a Nazirite is an Israelite who was consecrated to the service of God, under vows to abstain from alcohol, let the hair grow, and avoid defilement by contact with dead bodies (Num. 6). So that means the unshaven hair was the symbol of a Nazarite's relationship with God .

once you step outside a religion, the absurdities of it becomes clearer to you but if you're still in it you won't see any absurdity

its like someone who's in a very smelly toilet and has lived there all his life and never even as much as step out of it, his nose and lungs have gotten so used to it that he believes that's how everywhere else smells and the brain regards the smell as "normal" so its no longer a smell to him but "fresh air"

if someone that's lived in a place with cleaner fresher air visits this Toliet guy and tells him that the place smells he won't believe it

he'll argue with the guy with all his strength

if by chance the toilet guy leaves the place for few hours, get what fresh air really is and gets back to his usual place, the smell would then hit him, he would then realise what bullsheeet smell he's been living in all his life

this is how the stories in most hole-ly books are

as soon as you step outside it you realise you've been glossing over or believing several absurd stories that you've now found difficult/impossible to gloss over let alone believe

except i am missing something, d bible didn't say delilah was a prostitute. She was just called ''a woman''. Also, all her antics would not seem like betrayal to samson, because each time she said ''d phillistines are upon u'', those phillistines were not actually there to attack samson. So it would look like testing his love for her. As per d hair issue, he said his hair had never been cut before, dat if cut, he would lose his power. Growing back would not have anything to do with it as he didn't say having long hair was his power.
God bless u bro, n Jesus loves u.

realmindz:



You are lying and you know it..

This topic is about common sense.

It would be the height of stupidity for this story to happen to anyone...only a perfect slowpoke.

1. Tell me how the judge of Israel was so stupid to tell a lie the first time and the lie was used exactly as said against him...and it happened a 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th time... HOW?

2. The philistines were so stupid they forgot to cut of his hairs or so stupid to leave chances
These 2 questions only are weeping for answers or should I say common sense!

what is so difficult in stating the answers clearly perhaps u have nothing to say and doging questions like bullets. or are u ashamed of the stupidity of the story

The spirit of God had already left him cos he sinned by patronising prostitutes. Moreover, he sinned against God, the source of his strength, by marrying a Philistine woman, a thing God warned against. All of that are enough to make him start acting stupid cos he was no longer under the anointing. He was no longer under the anointing doesn't mean he still couldn't kill over 2000 men with just a donkey's jawbone.

The main reason why God finally left him, which made him weak, is simply because he foolishly allowed the symbol of God's authority over him to be cut off, which is his hair. God had nothing to do with him again, cos a man that could tell such a secret he shares with God to a forbidden woman cannot be trusted with God's power anymore.

His hair wasn't his power but the symbol of God's authority over him. The moment he cut if off, he lost God's favour. His hair started growing back cos God once again showed him favoured when he prayed for one last strength to be able to punish his enemies. The moment the authority came on him, his hair grew back.

As for why the Philistines were stupid enough to allow Samson's hair grow back. This questions explains why America were stupid enough to allow Osama Bin Laden blow up the World Trade Centre.

Well, If u want to talk like a child let me help u. Did u know the extreme precautions USA took after the 9/11? but the philistines were soooo stupid they took 0 precaution after finally getting their most dreaded enemy and failed a simple task of cutting off his hairs again to ensure no chance is left to play.


It's obvious the story can pass for a jewish myth

my little cousin asked uncle did you know that sampson was the strongest man in the bible? but my question is what has bible got to do with the world?

no wonder he was pleased with the delibrate murder of an interracial couple..
Ille est, promoting racism

There comes a point where apologists just have to open up to the possibility that some of these stories might just not be true. The attempts at rationalization of this story on this this thread are laughable at best and pathetic at worst.

Answer the questions

How stupid can a man be to get betrayed 4 times on his most precious secret

How stupid could the philistines have been to allow his hair grow back.


Even a child will ask "Uncle, why did they let his hair grow back and why did Samson tell Delilah his secret after she has betrayed him a 1st time, 2nd time 3rd time till 4th time"

pls use your sense na

Thanks,

How stupid can a man be to get betrayed 4 times on his most precious secret

Very very very stupid.
And you know what I answered that in my earlier reply,
Gross Stupidity is like madness and a mad man could be deceived 1million times with same trick.
" The moment you don't believe God exists or you don't fear Him like Samson did, You are one of the most stupid persons on earth and that is what happened to Samson and what is happening to Atheists today, it doesn't matter how smart they think they are or the Degree they possess. Even the madest mad man on the street thinks he is wise and calls sane ppl mad
That is why Yoruba translation of " The Fool says there is no God " Did not call the fool a fool it says " Asiwere so PE Olorun ko si" The fool was translated into a madman. ASHIWERE
The Atheists are like Samson they ask Silly questions believing they are smart Abi What would you call a man who lives with his only son in his apartment and no one visits them and one day called his son and said "Junior why did you put a cup of tea on the TV" and Junior said Dad it wasn't me and the man kwoing it wasnt him, said what do mean? Who then did? and Junior said "Dad I dont I don't know. And the dad said Do you want to tell me the cup by it self jumped on the TV?
He took cane and beat the boy.
Then one day the little boy asked "Dad who put us on Earth and the man smiled and said "No one did, we just happened to be on Earth.

And the boy thought, Is dad in his right senses?

He definitely has got the poor boy confused. That is gross stupidity and that could be likened to Madness.

In a not shell Samson was mad. Madness overtook him the moment the Fear of God left him, he was madly inlove with the LovePeddler. So he was betrayed 4 times. Gross Foolishness.



As to why the Philippines alowed his hair to grow. They must have thought what havoc can a blind man cause again? someone that has power without eyes what havoc can he cause so they didn't mind his hair growing. And mind you the growing of the hair of Samson did not give him the power back but he had to ask God for the power to be restored for the last time so that he could use it to kill himself and the enemies of God.

Try to understand this simple explanation.

Please use your sense now

It's obvious the story can pass for a jewish myth

It is glaring you are not conversant with the story of Samson. You would have known that his grown back hair did not give him back his power.

He pleaded with God to give him back his power,
I repeat he had to beg God to give him back his power before he got the power back.

When in argument always use your upstairs and read what you are quoting very well and make sure you understand it before throwing shades.

The fact that he had to pray before getting back the power despite having his hair grown back prooves that he had remained powerless and it was not his grown back hair that got the job done.
If he had been bald head, his God would have given him the power back still.

If you can't comprehend simple explanation like this.
I think I might need to send you my 5 year old brother to help throw the meaning in to your skull.
