sampson was a prophit like the rest, none of the prophit cut there hair and drink wine.?

Answer 1

Prior to Samson’s birth an angel appeared to his mother and announced that she would bear a son who was to be a Nazirite from birth and “take the lead in saving Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Jg 13:1-5, 24; 16:17) As future leader in the fight against the Philistines, Samson would have to come near the dead bodies of persons slain in battle. Therefore, the very nature of his commission showed that he did not come under the law prescribing that Nazirites not touch dead bodies. (Nu 6:2-9) It should also be noted that this law applied to persons who voluntarily took a vow of Naziriteship; but in Samson’s case, the requirements that applied were those specifically stated to his mother by Jehovah’s angel.

The second restriction for Nazirites was that they could not cut the hair of their heads. (Numbers 6:5) Their long hair was a crowning sign from which others could recognize them.

In the case of those appointed as Nazirites by Jehovah for life, being singled out by him for special service, they took no vows and were not bound by a limited period of time (the days of which were recalculated from the beginning if the vow was broken before being completed). For these reasons Jehovah’s commandments for them differed somewhat from his requirements for voluntary Nazirites. Samson was such a God-appointed lifetime Nazirite, having been divinely appointed to be such before his conception. Even with his mother it was not a discretionary matter. Because her son would be a Nazirite, she was commanded by the angel to observe special regulations, not to drink wine or intoxicating liquor or to eat anything unclean during her pregnancy.

Regarding Samson, the regulation was that “no razor should come upon his head.” (Jg 13:5) However, no prohibition was placed on his touching dead bodies.

John the Baptizer, Samson and Samuel, a God-appointed lifetime Nazirite, these three were not under the rules of a person that was a voluntary Nazirite.

Answer 2

This would be a more interesting question if I could believe it was a metaphor for the fact that even today our civilization is really a contest between two cultures,one having it's roots in Greco-Roman culture and the other it's roots in Judeo-Christian culture. To answer it in that context I think that after a long struggle Achilles will defeat Sampson - simply because knowledge is stronger than superstition.

Answer 3

Actualy sampson was a Judge sent from God to deliver the Isrealites from the Philistines.

Answer 4

Samson was from a particular group of religious folk who happened to not drink wine etc. Not all groups were like that....just like today the Catholics have Carmelite, Franciscan, Benedictine Orders, etc.

Answer 5

You are barely literate and know nothing of Sampson.

Answer 6

Samson was a Nazirite, he was set apart by God from birth. His mother was told by God, that his hair was not to be cut. Samson was a judge.

Answer 7
