Samson warrants the denigration. Lotsa bad folks wound up in God's 'hall of faith.'  We're not his adopted children because we deserved it.

Your response is more of an indication of such, Lance.  I simply see JD constantly denigrating Samson in a very unusual manner as an example of it being acceptable to be a God-follower and a sinner at the same time.  It’s a definite pattern.  See this quote from just a few minutes ago:

 

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.

IMO your repeated accusations of JD are an indication of a 'root of bitterness'1 Why are you so angry at JD that you feel the need to pepper him with such a tone as this?

IMO Samson is just JD’s favorite excuse to excuse his own sins. (It doesn’t work.) Izzy

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

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.

David Miller.
