Cool quotations Paul, but I’m curious as to what your point was ...?

Was Sampson right to commit suicide?

(... Was David right to steal grain from the priests off of the altar to feed his men? ... Was Hosea right to take a wife of whoredoms? ... Was Tamar right to prostitute herself to Judah? ... Was Jael right to assassinate Sisera? ... Was Lot right to offer his daughters to be raped? ... I gots a hunnert of ‘em…)

No. No. No. No. No and No.

But it’s amazing how God can even use the failure of humans to accomplish His ultimate purpose and bring glory to Himself.

LOL

I’m no philosopher or theologian, and I have no answers!

*smacks forehead*

Will no one say “no”?

EDIT-

...I will, BTW…

Wait a sec…

Maybe, Yes, it weren’t stealing as I recall, Yes, God told him to, no, yes, no.  Howzat?

(Wondering why Caleb said thus)

If by this, you mean “CAN someone do right by doing wrong?” then yes, in a sense.  To apply one of Calix’s favorite questions, if your wife was dying, would you consider it wrong to run out of Walmart without paying for medicine/bandages?

Happy Gabriel?  wink

Sorry, I misinterpreted the reference to that first one. (I didn’t interpret that verse as stealing at all)

So, irrelevant, no, no, no and no.

(And yes I do have a reason for all of them now.)

No… ‘cuz that wouldn’t bé wrøng, righ†?

In that cásé, they wouldn’t be doing wrong.  God’s Law would rather you love and care for your wife than pay for some stuff, if that becomes a necessary dichøtømÂ¥.

(And î‘d still pay for them later, eh?)
