1 | Why did God send an evil spirit to Saul? | 1 Sam 18:10 | mare4christ | 78446 | ||
1 Samuel 18:10: I know that God is good and only sends good things to his children, but why was an "evil spirit from God" sent upon Saul. From reading the previous chapters I know that God took the kingdom away from Saul but is there something in the translation that is misleading me about God sending an evil spirit. In studying the rest of the Bible I have come to understand that God chastises those He loves, and tests us to refine us etc., but never tempts us and to me an evil spirit would be a form of temptation. What am I missing in this passage? | ||||||
2 | Why did God send an evil spirit to Saul? | 1 Sam 18:10 | PJC | 78447 | ||
Wouldn't you agree that we are either in God's family or not. If we aren't, then we are in the evil one's family. God never temps a man to sin but man sins when he is drawn away by his own passions. The context of this passage explains why God did what He did. It does not contradict other Scriptures. We always need to keep the Scriptures in their context. The sin of greed and envy seemed to appear as Saul heard of David's prospering. v15. Saul gave way to his sinful passions. Pray this helps. PJC |
