He did other damage, through physical hurt, starving, impregnating and aborting. At some level of consciousness, they must have known that freedom was not an option and they had no way out but staying there forever. They were mentally taken advantage to the point they felt they could not leave and I believe even deceive them by telling them he was protecting them from the outside world. I believe he deserves what he

This caused Samson’s rage against the Philistines to turn into a boiling hatred as stated by Samson himself when he said, “This time I have a right to get even with the Philistines; I will really harm them.” (Judges 15:3). This shows Samson coming into the reason God allowed for him to be born which would allow him to exercise his plan to release the Israelites from the Palestine’s. He struck down the men who had gone against his wishes and struck him down. His people brought him back to the Philistine’s in response to his actions due to fear of their retaliations.
Jonathan Edwards’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and Anne Bradstreet’s “Upon the Burning of Our House” seem at first glance quite similar to one another regarding context, however, after taking a closer look, it becomes apparent that there are some substantial differences. These differences cannot be understood without the knowledge of cultural context concerning the Puritan belief system and their lifestyle. “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was written with the sole purpose of scaring and intimidating the people that purtinans believed to be sinners. Edwards’s work contributed to a movement called “The Great Awakening”. It’s objective was to make the so-called ‘sinners’ aware of their wrongdoings and compel them to repent.

Samuel mistakened that Eli was calling his name but when Eli recognized that Samuel was hearing God speak to him, he told Samuel to say "speak, for you servant is listening." God said that He would judge Eli's family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons lacked respect to God. Eli could have but did not kick out his sons or as God said, restrain them. Samuel told Eli everything that the Lord said to him and Eli accepted his consequences and said God's will is not for anyone to change. The Israelites went out to fight against the Philistines.

“There is always someone who cares more, cries more, loves more, get hurt most and forgives more” -Unknown. In any given relationship ultimately one person has more power over the other. Throughout most stories they usually happen to have character relationships where one always has more power over the other. This theory comes from the multiple examples below. Zaroff and Rainsford are a key example of the thesis that one character has more power than the other.
It does not make sense that an omnipotent God would allow His people to be burned, gassed, and beat if God is to be a merciful person.
But [he] doubted His absolute justice”(p.45). Conflicted on what to do, as to these horrific things happening, he believes God would not let them happen, but they are so his faith is diminishing. As labor increased so did death. Whilst a young man was being hung a man shouted “For

Logan Golding Miss Sibbach AP English III 12 December, 2014 Oprah Winfrey’s Twist Oprah Winfrey’s film Their Eyes Were Watching God significantly differed from the novel. Oprah inserts multiple twists on each of Janie’s relationships, changing the story to a love story. Janie acquired a limited amount of strength in the novel, but in the movie Oprah characterizes Janie with more strength. With the benefactors and adjustments made, Oprah accomplishes a love story instead of a journey of a woman.
In the Old Testament there is a line of leaders appointed by God before Saul became king known as the judges, and the most famous of these judges is the last one, Samson. His story shows how God can use someone for his glory, the costs of disobedience, and God making use of people even when they disobey him. Despite his faults and sinning, God used Samson throughout his life in order to free his people from the Philistines. Samson shows how when God decides to use your for his plan no matter what you do he will find a way to use you, but he will also let you disobedience to him be punished.
Before evaluating their differences it’s only fair to consider what these two Kings share, Saul and David were not perfect but the Bible explicitly says that the Prophet Saul anointed both as king under God’s direction. Both Kings were mighty in battle because the “The Spirit of the Lord was upon him…” therefore enemy armies were conquered as evidence that God was with them. Although they were both anointed by God to serve as Kings of Israel, experiencing God’s hand leading them to victory during battles, they sinned against God. For instance, God commanded Saul to attack Amalek,” …destroy all that they have and do not spare them,” but “Saul and the people spared Agag…and were unwillingly to utterly destroy them”. Meaning Saul rebelled in his
This seems to contradict the following verse saying, “Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.” If this law were to be taken literally, every single Israelite would have had to sooner or later been put to death. Another contradiction can be found in the golden rule of a maxim in Leviticus 19:18, which says, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.” However, revenge was a very commonly accepted practice in the Israelite society as evidenced by the cities of refuge designated in Joshua 20. Numbers 35 sets up the position of an “avenger of blood,” whose duty is to murder someone who is guilty of murder.
