Bible Question: I did look through the archive before I asked the question, but my question is a bit different from what was already posted. My concern is with God's motives. It seems that most agree that God was responsible for allowing some vision of Samuel to appeal to Saul. What I don't get is why God would do this after he refused to speak to Saul when he was using non-sinful methods to consult Him. |
Bible Answer: Hi Freddie, I don't think that we can know the reason why God allowed Samuel to speak to Saul. Saul had been asking for guidance, and Samuel did not give Saul guidance. Samuel simply pronounced God's judgment against Saul, but did not comply with Saul's request. So it's not like Saul was able to receive guidance through a medium while he couldn't on his own, but God did allow Samuel to come to him for the purpose of rebuke. Why? I don't know. I hope this helps anyway! Love in Christ, mark |
