I read this today and I will look it up, but for you Bible experts, can you give a an idea of how old Samuel was when God first spoke to him and what he did as a child and teen etc. My back is out so I can't do it all today, thanks .....I Know how God spoke to him first and he didn't know it was God, but that is about it.
1 Samuel: 19-21 Samuel grew up. God was with him, and Samuel's prophetic record was flawless. Everyone in Israel, from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south, recognized that Samuel was the real thing—a true prophet of God. God continued to show up at Shiloh, revealed through his word to Samuel at Shiloh.

The question is a topic that i have to do a talk on for a group of teenagers. I'm struggling with what to fill the talk with. Any help much appreciated.

I know that there is no definitive answer to this and that it is by faith and what we read in the bible. I think in order to cover it i need to look at what is prayer? why is it important that god hears us? and then how do we know he hears us? I think the only way we know for definite that god hears us is when he answers the prayer, and i think i'll spend a bit of time looking at how he answers prayer.

"The adoption of democracy is fatal to good government, to liberty, to law and order, to respect for authority, and to religion, and must produce chaos from which a NEW WORLD tyranny will arise. You can never have revolution in order to establish a democracy. You must have democracy in order to have a revolution" ― Robert Welch - Republics and Democracies pg. 7
===========================
What the Church has been for medieval man, the public school must become for democratic and rational man. GOD WOULD BE REPLACED BY THE CONCEPT OF THE PUBLIC GOOD." ― Horace Mann, father of public education

“Humanism is the denial of God and the total affirmation of man. Humanism is really nothing else but Marxism.” ― Karl Marx, Economic Politigue et Philsophie

==========================
“The next century can be and should be the humanistic century. We stand at the dawn of a NEW AGE, a secular society on a planetary scale. As non-theists, we begin with humans not God, nature not deity. We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. Thus we look to the development of a system of world law and a WORLD ORDER based upon transnational federal government. The true revolution is occurring.” ― Humanist Manifesto II, published in 1973

At the 1991 Bilderberg meeting, David Rockefeller thanked the media for covering up elite plans for the "supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers." “It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years."

i got a question for all Christians.

first Christians’ faith is based on human words means what ever Paul Luke Mathew John Mark and Peter said 300 years after Jesus (PBUH) disappearance they believe it.

every Christian in the world believe that the Bible is changed altered and Corrupted by humans even though its not permited in the Bible.

“. . . If any man shall add to these things (or delete) God shall add unto him the plagues written in this Book.” (Revelation 22:18-19)

But who cares! They do not really believe! The Protestants have bravely expunged seven whole books from their Book of God!.

and also there were dozens of Gospels like The Gospel of Mary The Gospel of Thomas …

SO HERE IS MY QUESTION.

DO YOU CHRISTIANS ATTRIBUTE THESE ERRORS IN THE BIBLE TO GOD Almighty?

Error No. 1. Light was then before the source of light Genesis 1:3:5 and 14:19

Error No. 2 - Day came into existence before creation of Earth. Genesis 9:13

Error No. 3 - Earth came into existence before Sun. Genesis 1:9:13 and Genesis 1:14:19

Error No. 4 -Vegetation came into existence, before sunlight Genesis 11:13 and 14:19

Error No. 5 - The earth Will it perishes or will it abide forever? Psalm 102:25:26 contradicts in Psalm 78:69 and Ecclesiastics 1:4

Error No. 6 - The earth has got pillars. Samuel Job and Psalm

Error No. 7 - The heavens have got pillars. Job 26:11

to spurn wealth and love one another, isn't everything else that the Christian churches become advocates for merely a product of their own making and ultimately anti Christ's message?

I haven't been in fellowship for years. I served my last church for about 7 years, and I was the drummer for it. At the end, because of one disagreement I had with the pastors, I was told I was "not a member" and had no right to comment on church matters. I was told, a couple of services just before I left, that I was not even a "muso"-musician (I was self taught) and had no right to any say in the music team-the same team I served during that whole time.

I am still bitter. I have renounced fellowship, and 5yrs later, the very words, "church", "Christianity" and "Christians" fill me with rage and hatred. I decided 6 months after I left (I'd left the area as I moved) to bury the hatchet and give my former pastors a call. By their tone of voice, they didn't want a bar of me, and didn't want me to visit them in their home. The pastor graciously decided that we could all meet "in a cafe" if I really insisted on catching up with them.

Is it abnormal I am still this angry?
