Samson grow up to be a nut…
1. Philistines are the bad guy. It shouldn’t have mattered how good looking she was– she’s on the wrong side. And this ain’t “Romeo and Juliet” where it’s arbitrary to hate people from the other side–this is about obeying God. Philistines do not worship God. What do you think about dating people who are not Christ-followers?
2. I like how God is going to use this opportunity anyway. Does that mean that God intentionally caused Samson to sin?
3. Samson tore up a lion with his bare hands because “the Spirit of the Lord came upon him”? Whoah…is this like those guys who bend steel bars in the name of Jesus?
4. Why didn’t tell his parents that he got the honey out of the lion’s carcass? Maybe the same reason that we don’t know what’s in a chicken nugget? He he he… Or maybe it’s because he stuck his hand in a carcass!!! Dead body. Nazirite vow violation #1. Uh oh…
5. Is it just me or is Samson’s riddle kind of impossible?
6. I like how the Philistines threaten to burn Samson’s woman. Nice guys.
7. OK…so…Samson’s woman manipulates Samson by throwing a tear-fit. That never happens…
8. “Plowed with my heifer!” Samson’s a poet. He he he… Um…she’s a heifer?
9. Samson beats the tar out of 30 guys to pay back his riddle debt. Then he gives the woman to his best man. That Samson’s sure got style. Sounds like a holy man, doesn’t he?
