Re: [TruthTalk] Samson and Repentance

[Judy Taylor]

I don't esteem any century in Christ higher than any other Lance.  If you do your homework you will find the KJV is closest to the original Jewish scriptures.  Ask your local Rabbi.  Where did the translators of the newer versions get the authority to delete 60,000 words from the OT and 30,000 from the NT?  Especially in light of the fact that the original scribes feared moving a jot or a tittle.  My - how far we are fallen.  jt   On Tue, 28 Jun 2005 07:18:38 -0400 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: The KJV had it's day but, that day has come and gone. It's strange to me that you esteem the 17th century so highly in contrast to your views on the 4th century. From: Judy Taylor   He met God's standard JD, even if you are not given all the details; he paid the price for his folly, lost the ministry and was forced into giving up his natural life to save the nation in a way none of us would choose.  However, he made it into the Hebrews hall of faith (Heb 11:32) showing that in the end he received favor from God so I wouldn't be either pointing a finger at him or trying to replicate his sin.  jt   PS: Maybe you should throw out some of those newer versions JD   On Tue, 28 Jun 2005 06:46:42 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yes, Judy, we have been over this befroe.   And nowhere in any Bible I have in my collectional is there a statemnt of any kind that mildly suggests that Samson repented of his womanizing ways..... not a hint.  At the same time  --  he acknowledges the God of his fathers and relies on Him in the only ways he (Samson) can................. spiritually speaking,  a very immature child of God, but a believers.    JD    From: Judy Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] JD we've been over and over and over and over this; apparently you can't learn and so it looks like Samson will forever be a reprobate in your eyes.  jt   On Tue, 28 Jun 2005 01:22:05 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: And Samson's repentance is recorded where???? JD    From: David Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Taylor wrote: > According to your criterion, Izzy, what difference should > it make: "I believe the fact that he was an adulterer totally > discredits his credentials as a prophet of god"? I think the unspoken assumption here is that unlike King David, Joseph Smith never repented of his adultery, but rather gave prophecies which justified it and pronounced curses upon his original wife Emma if she did not accept his other women. Jesus taught us to spot false prophets by their fruit. We don't gather grapes from thistles, and so we expect godly character from true prophets and ungodly character from false prophets. Note that Balaam was a false prophet not because he failed to speak for Yahweh, nor because he spoke falsely in his name, but because he had a covetous heart. Peace be with you.
