1 | Why was Saul hiding? | 1 Sam 10:22 | KenM | 34373 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, This part of human history is pretty wild. God's people rejecting Him as their king, for an earthly one, selected by lot! Saul hid among the baggage hoping that they would select some one else. Pretty smart at the time if you read about all about how much trouble these people were to those that God had selected to lead them. Earlier in 1 Samuel 8:4-7 is a good reference point, to where this trouble started, but you can see its roots all the back in Exodus. Thanks Hope this Helps, 4Him KenM |

3 | Is BAPTISM a SYMBOL? | 1 Pet 3:21 | KenM | 31785 | ||
Hi Terra, The best answer I have ever seen on the subject of Baptism is in 1 Peter 3:21; 1Pe 3:21 “ Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Clearly, Baptism is not something needed by God, but by us. Also it really important to note that Jesus thought that it is important to do; Mat 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” The next question is; what happens to those who don’t get baptized? Well, God is the one who judges each of our hearts as to the motives on why we do or not do certain things. I do recommend baptism as an adult. I have seen it act as a powerfully force in a believer life, a physical point where they can look at themselves having a new beginning. A starting point Hope this helps, 4Him |

4 | Hosea and ripping babies from the wombs | Hosea | KenM | 30683 | ||
Hi slide_m46, I can see why an unbeliever or a seeker would be shocked at the book of Hosea. There is a lot to be shocked it during this time. The people of the Northern Kingdom had turned completely away from one true God, even to the point of sacrificing there own children to a false god called BAAL. The book of Hosea is God prophecy to the Northern Kingdom warning them to change their ways and to do it quickly, or face the consequences of their prideful actions. You can see God concern and hope for the Northern Kingdom although Hosea, but Chp 14 pretty more answers the question about, is God being cruel or not. God is willing to Help, Heal and forgive those who turn back to Him. As far as what we see in: Hos 13:16 “Sama'ria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open. “ Again this is prophecy about what was about to happen, which was the invasion of Shalmaneser king of Assyria. (You read about this in 2 Kings 17:5) So prideful and sure of themselves the Northern Kingdom held out for three year against Shalmaneser, but after that Shalmaneser took his revenge on them by sacking and plundering the cities, take the population into slavery and trying to end any future claim or inheritances as a people by kill the young/unborn. Hope this helps |
