I will let a couple of those Bible writers answer your question:


This was in reference to Christ as the one who, beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. The response of His listeners was also interesting and relevant.

They accepted the truth of the Scriptures, therefore, Darius, why can't you?

Here is another Bible answer to your question:


It says that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God..."

Does God inspire truth or error? Obviously the answer is truth, otherwise, the Scriptures wouldn't be "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

I think we have some misscommunication here. Maybe this quote would be more towards what Darius was thinking about.

1Sa 15:2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way when he came vp from Egypt.
1Sa 15:3 Now goe, and smite Amalek, and vtterly destroy all that they haue, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, oxe and sheepe, camell and asse.

1Sa 15:3 Nowe therfore go, and smyte Amalek, and destroye ye all that pertaineth vnto them, and haue no compassion on them, slay both man & woman, infant and suckling, oxe and sheepe, camel and asse.

Mar 6:34 And Iesus went out, and sawe much people, and had compassion on them, because they were lyke sheepe, not hauyng a sheepheard: And he began to teache them many thynges.

Why is this difference?

Well, Thomas, if that was what Darius was thinking about, then he should have quoted it himself, however, in response to your post, doesn't that Scripture text say, "Thus saith the Lord of hosts"???

In relation to all of the Bible texts I quoted in my previous post, we can't pick and choose what was inspired or what wasn't inspired, especially when 2 Tim. 3:16 stated that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God....." It said All, not Part.

Where are you aiming Daryl?

What do you mean by where am I aiming?

Specifically in relation to this

"In relation to all of the Bible texts I quoted in my previous post, we can't pick and choose what was inspired or what wasn't inspired, especially when 2 Tim. 3:16 stated that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God....." It said All, not Part."

Are you placing these texts from the book of Samuel against the ones you quoted previously or are you accusing me of doing so?

And as for my post 80301, do you have anything to say about that one?

What I am aiming at is showing that all the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, with a "Thus saith the Lord" as evidence of that, no matter what the "Thus saith the Lord" seems to be saying.

This is what this topic is all about, isn't it, showing that God is ultimately the driving force behind the writing and the continued existence of the Scriptures from Moses onward?

And here I thought we where exploring Darius subsubject. How silly of me..

What will it be like when Christ comes?

The righteous will be resurrected, the living will be translated, and the wicked will be slain by the brightness of His coming. And after the 1000 years, the wicked will be burned along with the devil and the other fallen angels. I could ask the same thing about these sevents in which all the wicked are slain, not only once at the second coming, but once again forever at the end of the 1000 years.

Christ came the first time to save, not to condemn, however, Christ comes the second time bringing with Him the rewards for the righteous, eternal life, and for the wicked, the second death.

Christ came as a compassionate and merciful Saviour the first time.

Christ will come as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, as the Righteous Judge the second time.

The death of the wicked is what is referred to as Christ's strange act.
