Daejumong:
Elijah called down fire to kill 102 Israeli soldiers who came to arrest him but Jesus rebuked his disciples who tried to do such! Is the God of Elijah different from the God of Jesus Christ?

2 Kings 1:10-12
King James Version
10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.

12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

Will God back the prayers of Elijah to roast 102 men with wives and kids to death ! Men from Israel your country who were just doing their jobs as soldiers ! Men who were ordered by your King to arrest you in order to hear the message you claimed God had given you for the king!
Was your life more special than the 102 soldiers of Israel you wasted because you were sore afraid of seeing the King? Did God love u so much he was ready to make 102 women widows and many kids fatherless in Israel because of your fear?
How do we know Elijah was afraid? He could just have gone to see the king and pass his message without killing 102 well trained Israeli soldiers!
In verse 15-17 , he now does the right thing after needlessly killing the soldiers!

15 The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 He told the king, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”
17 So he died, according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken.

Let’s contrast this with Jesus and see how he handled a similar situation

Luke 9:54–56. NKJV

54 And when His disciples, James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?”
55 But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.
56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” And they went to another village

The God of Elijah roasted 102 Israeli soldiers alive but Jesus rebuked his disciples who tried to do such ! If God does not change, why the difference in ideology? Could it be they are different?

The God ,Jesus presented to me and other Christians will NEVER support genocide, mass killing or murder! Jesus prayed for his killers’ forgiveness up to the point of his death on the cross! That is the God I serve and will always serve!

Another nice write-up Daejumong. I don't think Jesus would be happy with those christians and churches that pray for their enemy to die. The Spirit we have is a Spirit of LOVE. The Jesus way of the New Testament is superior to the Elijah way of the Old Testament.

Rich Pastors and Christians will find it difficult making heaven !!!

Matthew 19:23-24
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Why did Jesus say this? Let’s look at the preceding verses?

16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”

17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”

18 “Which ones?” he inquired.

Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’

20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

This rich young man was a child of God faithfully keeping his commandments just like many Christians and Pastors today and he was so confident of his stance in God and asked Jesus what he could do to get eternal life!
When Jesus told him to sell ALL his properties and GIVE TO THE POOR and then follow him, he walked away Sad!

As a pastor or Christian flying private jets, driving expensive cars and living a life of luxury, Jesus is saying, Sell All and give to the poor and follow him! Jesus said to attain perfection and build treasure in heaven u must do this!
This appears difficult and unfair to rich Christians? The disciples thought so as well. Let’s see their reaction in the verses that followed:

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Jesus explained that it may look difficult naturally but with God’s help it is possible!

We can invariably conclude from the teachings of Christ here that if you are a pastor living a life of luxury, flying jets and helicopters and some of your members are poor , heaven will be difficult to make for you! These are words directly from the mouth of Jesus who will decide whether we make heaven! His words are superior to any prophet, king , preacher or apostle in the Bible or in contemporary times!

Nice write-up Daejumong. I also wonder sometimes why this portion of scripture (Matthew 19:23-24) is often overlooked. In Luke 16:19-31, a rare view of the afterlife is given. The rich one went to hell, and the poor one went to heaven SOLELY because he was poor. Jesus said in Luke 12:15, "...a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses." There seems to be a shift in the New Testament to the simple things in life and not the accumulation of wealth and possessions.

The happiest day of my life was when I was around 11 years old. I had just come back from school and I went upstairs to change my clothes from my school uniform. And lying there on my bed was a brand new SEGA Mega Drive 2. I was so excited. I ran back downstairs to hug my mummy for buying it for me. It came with the game Sonic The Hedgehog 2. My younger brother and I started playing it immediately. It initially had no colour and sound but over time we overcame all those challenges. Months later, I eventually went on to complete the game after so many hours of endless game playing. I have never forgotten how happy I was when I got the computer console.

The Bible says in I Timothy 6:6

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Many are discontent with what they have. Some want more money, a bigger house, a bigger car, a newer phone, etc. But we must all learn to be content with what we have. There is nothing bad in wanting something better but if it is at a premature time then it could mean greediness. You must be content per time. This means you say to yourself, "at this present time, I am content with what I have", "at this present time, I don't need this...". Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Apostle Paul communicated contentment when he said:

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. (Philippians 4:11,12)

We must be like Apostle Paul by being content in whatsoever state we find ourselves - whether with little or with plenty. Proverbs says:

Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. (Proverbs 15:16)

And Hebrews says:

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrews 13:5)

We must be content with what we have. You may not have the latest iPhone but the one you have is good enough. You may not drive the latest car but the one you have is good enough. You may not live in a mansion, but the two bedroom apartment you have is good enough. You may not have millions in your bank account, but the hundreds of thousands you have is good enough.

Apostle Peter knew what he had was enough. He didn't have silver and gold, but he had faith in the name of Jesus. (Acts 3:6). You may not have plenty of money, but you have your faith in God. That is enough for you to get by until the time you have more money. And when that time comes, it will come naturally. You don't have to force it.

Job 1:6 KJV Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

The following two (2) churches may have layed overdue focus and emphasis on 'trigonometric ratios':

1. Redeemed Christian Church of God
• Sin (i.e. sin)
• Tan (i.e. [Sa]tan)

2. Living Faith Church
• Cos (i.e. curse)
• Tan (i.e. [Sa]tan)

They (and others like them) may be unwittingly marketing the 'serpent' of Genesis chapter 3.

For those of us who are old enough to remember SUPERTED, and young enough to log-in into a NAIRALAND account with a PA55W0RD; believe it or not but each time SuperTed said those words ("Let me say my secret magic words Spotty." to Spotty, he was already saying his 'secret' magic words, and then just pretends to whisper his 'real' secret magic words after he has already in reality just finished saying it.

5. They seem to be in charge of the selling, purchase and cooking of food that is essential to life and living.
6. Their general perception and disposition as the 'weaker' sex make it defaultly easier for them not only to perpetrate crimes, but to get away with it as the victim and victor.
