- There is no evidence Lot's wife was deaf. She heard the angels say not to look back.
- God wants His prophets to be respected. That was the whole reason apostate Israel was being judged. The Syrians were invading. The Assyrians were next. Because they wouldn't respect or listen to the prophets.
- Did you miss the part where they threatened to kill Samson's wife and her family if she didn't tell them?
And you're ignoring the whole reason God gave Samson strength. It was to go against the enemies of Israel. The Philistines to be precise. However Samson was somewhat self involved and not paying attention to the plight of his own people. He should have been a great general to lead the children of Israel in battle against the Philistines. Instead he was doing his own thing. So, God kept putting Samson in situations that angered him against the Philistines (who he was supposed to be fighting in the first place.)
I've shown plenty of scriptural evidence in this thread that Satan is a murderer. First of all he caused
all death by tempting Eve. Secondly, he killed Job's children and his servants. Thirdly, Jesus Himself calls satan a murderer from the beginning. (John 8:44) Case closed.
The command was given, "Flee for your life! Do not look behind you, nor stop anywhere in the Plain; flee to the hills, lest you be swept away." . . . I guess the angels forgot to mention they'd turn her into a pillar of salt . . . kind of like how god lied to Adam & Eve in the Garden?
I don't think the Syrians and Assyrians cared what a war god named Yahweh wanted
Killed them over a riddle? Yeah, that's sane . . .
The Serpent in the Garden of Eden pointed out to Eve that God is a liar and that she will surely not die that day if she eats of the fruit of knowledge, which she did and in fact did not die. The Serpent in this sense brought us the Truth of our Freedom of Will and showed us the way to self-deification (apotheosis).
The Serpent represents the divine force of Creation that is able to carry out the idea of Creation. The Serpent sinks down to man's level and awakens the power of Creation and the sexual energy in man. Thus, man can reach the knowledge which was previously only accessible to God.
This god is such a sore loser . . .
And as for Job . . . LOL!
In the Book of Job God is challenged by ‘one of his sons’ Satan. God abandons his faithful servant Job and lets him fall without pity into the abyss of physical and moral suffering by murdering his sons and daughters, taking away his livestock, and eventually making the shattered Job of ill and suffering health.
Job, abandoned without protection and stripped of his rights, whose nothingness is thrown in his face at every opportunity evidently appears to be so dangerous to God that he must be battered down with God’s heaviest artillery. God’s robbery, murder, bodily injury is premeditating and he even denies a fair trial. He shows no remorse, or compassion, but ruthlessness and brutality, he violates the very commandments he dictated to man on Mount Sinai.
What is the reasoning behind God the Almighty’s resistance to such a little, puny, and defenseless man such as Job? There must be something which Man has the ability to achieve, and this something is the very same something found in the Garden of Eden story with our hero the Serpent. God sees in Job something of equal in power which causes him to bring out his whole arsenal of destruction and parade it before his opponent. God projects onto Job a skeptic’s face which is hateful because it is his own, it questions his omnipotence.
The unconscious mind of Job sees correctly even when conscious reason is blind and impotent. God’s dual nature has been revealed. Job, in spite of his impotence, is set up by Satan to judge over God himself. God unwittingly raises Job’s spiritual consciousness by humiliating him, and in doing so God pronounces judgment on himself and gives man moral satisfaction.
God’s behavior is that of an unconscious being who cannot be judged morally. God is a phenomenon and, as Job says in the Bible, “not a man.” Not human but, in certain respects, less than human, which is how God described the Archdemon of the West Leviathan.
Job realizes God’s inner antinomy, and in the Luciferian Light of this gnosis his knowledge attains a divine numinosity . . . Job becomes like a god!
