Numbers 16:24, 31-33 "Korah" makes an appearance in the NT as well: ³Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. ⁴For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. ⁵Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. ⁶And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— ⁷just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. ⁸Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. ⁹But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” ¹⁰ But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. ¹¹Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion. ¹²These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; ¹³ wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. (Jude 1) (btw, an aside, verse 5: Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. The personal pre-existence of Jesus Christ.) Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason, my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, for to go against conscience would be neither right nor safe. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.

matica Posts: 3,039	2 Kings 2:23-24 English Standard Version (ESV) ²³He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” ²⁴And he turned around, and when he saw them, ^A)"> he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys. How is that badass? He used sorcery to kill a bunch of young boys. What's so bad ass about god killing young children? Christians are sick people, I can't believe I used to think like you guys.

First, Cracked.com isn't (at least necessarily) "Christian." Sick people, maybe LOL! Second, sat·ire [sat-ahyuhr] noun 1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc. 2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule. 3. a literary genre comprising such compositions. Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.^[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon. A common feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satire, irony is militant"^[2]—but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to attack. Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics. (wiki) So, all that said, what do you suppose cracked.com, and/or the author of 2 Kings was telling us, if anything? And/or is there any "takeaway" from a spiritual perspective here? Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason, my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, for to go against conscience would be neither right nor safe. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.

Rgurley4 Posts: 4,177	The "Bad Ass" God... 1 Chronicles 29:11... Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt Yourself as head over all. Revelation 4:11 “ Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your WILL they existed, and were created.” Genesis 1:26 (NASB) ..."Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our (spiritual) image, according to Our likeness;...(soul / character) Genesis 3:22 (NASB)..."Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become LIKE one of Us, knowing good and evil..." Genesis 6:5 (NASB) Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that EVERY intent of the thoughts of HIS HEART was ONLY EVIL continually....(FLOOD TIME!) Deuteronomy 32 (NASB)....The Song of Moses....God: ...all His ways are JUST 4 “The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are JUST; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He. Genesis 18:25...God deals JUSTLY Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth deal JUSTLY?” Malachi 2:16 For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel, “and (God hates) (the acts of) him who covers his garment with wrong (sins),” says the LORD of hosts. “So take heed to your SPIRIT, that you do not deal treacherously.” (commit sins) Deuteronomy 16:22 You shall not set up for yourself a sacred pillar which the LORD your God hates. Numbers 23:19 “ God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? 1 John 4:20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 1 Samuel 15 : 29(NASB) Also the Glory of Israel (God) will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind.” Hebrews 7:21...(NASB) ...“THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, ‘YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER’... Hebrews 2: 7-9 (NASB). But we do SEE Him who was made for a little while lower than the ANGELS , namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God, He (Jesus) might taste death for everyone. (substitutionary) Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish , but that all should come to repentance. Matthew 5:44-45 (NASB) "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be Sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. Job 11: (NASB) 7 “Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty? Romans 11:33... Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

Including the fire-bombing and killing of two cities and their inhabitants over some trivial sexual and hospitality quibbles? The murder by drowning of everyone in the world over a few Mesopotamian bad boys? Righteous and upright? Gimme a break.
