Most of u screaming the praises of Esther, when an ordinary girl in this Morden day happens to do what she did, most of the religious folks here will condemn her..

I believe U all know that the King is not spiritual right?..I mean he was a drunk... the Bible said when he got drunk, he asked the first wife (Queen) to catwalk for him and his friends to see...

Now in this day and age how many women (Christians) would agree to do that if their drunk husbands/ boyfriends ask them to wear clothes and parade or catwalk before him and his drunk friends?...

Ok that aside,.. when Esther was asked to see the king, I believe U all knows what went down.. she didn't go there to speak in tongues or to preach to the king...

That is some of the sermon most preachers will not tell u, I mean what the lady did before she became the queen...

udumosam23:
In one of our Bible studies, a lady asked me if Esther is one of our biblical role model and she is not the first wife to the king who married her, why does today's Christianity condemns being a second wife to a married man?

I looked at the lady and realised she's approaching 40 and still single, I felt like cutting her loose by saying you can go ahead and marry a married man if you like, there's nothing biblically wrong about that.

But I asked myself again, will that be the right answer and if she quote me, can I defend what I just told her against my church's dogma?

I just steered at her for a while and said let's pray.

Treasure17:
The most interesting Bible story i love to read.

Interesting15:


One of the most amazing and interesting characters in the Bible and in history as a whole, is the woman Esther - whose life was captured in the Book of Esther. Her experiences were quite astounding, as we could see how an unknown orphan could rise to become the Queen of a very large global empire.

Interestingly, Esther was able to rise to the prominence of the Palace of Ahasuerus (who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia), without having to compromise the ways of the LORD. Her success and exploits are pleasant indicators that anyone can rise to the top without having to cut corners and indulge in something bad and unholy.

However, this could obviously be possible by the Hand of God. The LORD favoured Esther to get to the prominence of the Palace of a global empire despite being a nobody. Indeed, favour is a spiritual tool that can make you great in life without having to sell your soul to evil.

I know you want to be a great person in life. Actually, God wants you to be great. He is a Great God Himself, and you were created in His image. However, many people are approaching the path of success in a wrong and dangerous way, thereby getting themselves injured and damaging their soul. Only God can help you become truly great and successful without you having to stain your hands in impurity. And He is always eager to help you become successful.

How can you partner with God to be successful and great in life? Simply make the intentional decision to have an intimate relationship with Him, as He is Your Source. The truth is this: your destiny is to have an intimate righteous relationship with God through Jesus Christ, which empowers you to have dominion.

When you have a good relationship with God in Christ Jesus, you are empowered with the Holy Spirit, who will give you access to all of God's spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus (including favour).

What is the first step? It is embracing Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior. Simply tell Him: "LORD JESUS, have mercy on me, as I accept You as Lord and Savior of my life "

The LORD comes to you.

Then you will find Ruth fascinating

The stranger widow that became the grandmother of the king

emmy512:
remember Esther had to enter the king's chamber first before he determined she was good.
whatever she did in there to please him was not prayers.

You are the only one that got the gist buddy... Someone screaming grace and favour up and down as if sugar daddies/ older men don't favour girls who pleased them in this day and age... But the society kicks at it...

But when they see the story of Esther that has scanty details of what she did at the bedroom of a Randy king to become a queen, they shout favour..

I don't think it was about beauty per SE
There were other beautiful girls who were away beyond hers

baralatie:

You should have shown her where it was written that Vashti was disposed

Ojuntana:


Just as Muhammad's destiny is different from yours

Yet you're arguing over whether you should eat with spoon or with your three fingers as he commanded you

You are introducing Bidah into the glorious religion and should be ashamed

AntiChristian:


Just as it doesn't concern me how the Holy Spirit guides/misguides you Christians, you can't determine anything for me in my religion!

Spoon remains a custom just as China uses chopsticks.

Anyone who wants to remain confused should remain so at his own peril.
