Why punish the man of God? |
|
|
|
1 Kings
|
| |
Read chapter 13 of Kings. Why was the man of God kill. He did disobey God's command, but the prophet told him he had heard from God, and it was ok for him (the man of God) to eat. Was it unfair for the man of God to be killed by a lion for being tricked into believing it was God's will for him to eat and thus eating? And why wasn't the 'prophet' punished for lying. |

the question is not why, but how can we learn from this incident and apply it to our own lives. In verse nine he says with his own lips what the Lord had commanded him not to do!when the Lord tells you some thing you must do it with all your might and to the letter.He wasnt tricked by the old prophet. He was intimidated by him.Intimidation is a spirit and is fear.We have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind,2 Tim 1:7. Have you ever been intimidated by a person that has a position of authority?did you notice that when the old prophet gave the word at the table the young prophet finished his meal as he knew it was his last.disobedience brings punishment.He never repented, do you notice.He was man enough to accept the will of God,and took the responsibility.just as Paul went into jerusalem and was to be bound, Acts 21;11-14.YIC. |

Where did the term "Jumpin Jehoshaphat" originate. Not that important but I can't seem to find any reference. |

The only time I ever heard that phrase was about 40yrs ago by the character Perry White on the old
Superman TV program. Although I find 76 references to Jehoshaphat in the Old Testament I haven't found any reference to that phrase, I don't think I will. Ezekiel |

Hi lialia..., I'm sorry that no one has answered you directly, that is to say, very quickly. May I be the first then to welcome you to the forum.:)
I would suppose that Adonijah as the older brother expected to be king. He thought that the people expected that he would be king. But with the killing (or sacrificing) of sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone (or Serpent Stone) for the feast that he prepared for his friends we see that it was on his own; he did not have the blessing of David or God.
Adonijah later, 1Kings 2:15, agreed that the kingdom was Solomon's "from the Lord". And that was why he had been told by king Solomon to "Go to your house." (I wonder if that is why discipline in the home has those words, "Go to your room!")
Another point that I would make from my study of these chapters, and I thank you for your question, is this. I see the blessing of God for Solomon's kingdom in 1Kings 1:36. "And Benaiah the son of Johoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! Thus may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say."
What is Benaiah asking the Lord to say but verse 34, "Long live King Solomon." It was interesting to me to see that both prospective kings had this phrase said for them. The King James says for this phrase, "God save...";verses 25 and 39. And we know that God had chosen Solomon already and would agree, "Long live King Solomon." |

Lialia, Ray is correct, Adonijah was the older brother.
He was the fourth son of David (2Sa 3:4). His older brothers were dead. Ammon (2Sa 13:28-29) and Absalom (2Sa 18:14-15). Kileah may have been killed at the same time as Ammon (2Sa 13:30). Usually the eldest was next in line to the throne.
Adonijah may of known that Solomon was chosen, since he did not invite him, but his other brothers (1Ki 1:10).

1 Kings 18:21
Elijah went before the people and said,
"How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him."
But the people said nothing.
What does this scriptures means? |

My NIV Bible Study notes say:
1 Kings 18:21 Elijah challenged the people to take a stand--to follow whoever was the true God. Why did so many people waver between the two choices? Perhaps some were not sure. Many, however, knew that the Lord was God, but they enjoyed the sinful pleasures and other benefits that came with following Ahab in his idolatrous worship. It is important to take a stand for the Lord. If we just drift along with whatever is pleasant and easy, we will someday discover that we have been worshiping a false god--ourselves. |

Delaro, Israel served and worshiped (two separate activities) other gods, too.
They had not completely given up on God. But, He was used when they needed Him ... He was just another god. Young's Literal Translation (YLT) says "Till when are ye leaping on the two branches?"
Later in this passage, they said YHVH was God. But, soon after they were back leaping to the other branch ... even before 2 Kings 17:7.
I hope I answered your question,

Welcome to the forum, RondaMM.
This is God's encounter with Elijah, and since God is the Author it would be nice to know why He did give detail. We only can guess.
Elijah just had a mountiantop victory in chapter 18 and now was afraid (vs 3) because of a human. I think he lost his focus on God and didn't see Him. We may be like him and run ... and also expect God in all the wrong places, never a still small voice.

Dear Ronda...Welcome to the Forum :)..
You may want to clarify your question to include which verse(s) in 1 Kings 19 you are refering to. Or did you mean 1 Kings 1:19 where the details of the feast that was planned by Adonijah were given.... "He has sacrificed great numbers of cattle, fattened calves, and sheep, and has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant." which should be considered an historical record of the feast plans with no particular hidden meaning that I can see :)
God Bless....Jensen |

Read and search the Bible, all the answers to your questions are there.
Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other: or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. |

Kimberely ... if God had a job for me to do, I'd do it, for He is my King and man may give me a job, but, I am under His control ... and they are too. (Pro 21:1) ... if He controls kings, I think He does others, with less power. Searcher |

Greetings Suleyfun!
I appreciate the fact that you like this site! And I hope that you continue to enjoy it! However, I am a little confused by your answer (Genesis 4:1). How does Genesis 4:1 answer your riddle: "What is it that Adam never saw or had but gave two of to his children?"
Genesis 4:1 states, "Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD."
Blessings to you,

Two Honda Accords. Adam ordered them for his children but died before they were invented. The disciples rode in a Honda also. They were all in one Accord in the upper room. (Acts 1:14 KJV). How they got a car up the stairs is not revealed. If this is a Bible question, I've done my best to provide a Bible answer. I trust it is in Accord with your question. --Hank |
