1 | ahabs family prophesied to die... | 2 Kin 10:6 | nettieluv6 | 198103 | ||
Well, if you look back, most of the trouble started in 1 Kings 21 when Ahab wanted the land of Naboth. Naboth was killed and the Lord was angered by this. He sent Elijah to Ahab, wo was still on Naboth's land. Elijah spoke "I have found you," he answered, "because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the LORD." (1 Kings 21:20) Ahab killed Naboth in cold blood, and so his punishment was the same. His descendants were also killed. I believe that the seventy heads were used as proof that it had been done to show Jehu it was finished. Also, if you look back on Elijah's prophecy, he said that "Dogs will eat those belonging to Ahab who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country." 1Kings 21:24 So bringing them to the gate and leaving them would have fulfilled this. If you look throughout thw bible, you will see that these were cruel times. They stoned people, cut their heads off and killed whole tribes. These acts were commonplace, and probably weren't seen as horrific as they sound today. God is vengeful and He does punish those that anger Him. He didn't always use natural disasters to get things done; he often used regular people. Since Jehu was in power, he was in a place to have Ahab's descendants executed. I hope that helped. |

2 | What does Bible say about making out? | Matt 26:41 | nettieluv6 | 198046 | ||
I would like to help, if I can. I am in college and struggled with this also. I found it easier to abstain from anything that had anything to do with anything leading to fornication (lol) But a verse I have for you: Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." You may want to make out with your girlfriend, but that is a fleshly desire. Making out also tempts you to go further and makes you think indecent/lustful thoughts. The world says that there is nothing wrong with it, but that is the world. Think about this: If dating is an exercise to meet a spouse and you don't end up marrying your current girlfriend, you have been kissing someone else's wife. So, use your best judgement and when all else fails, go to God. Good luck! |
