Samson IS strange! Nobody names their child after him. Preachers don't preach about him. Yet he's so well known that everyone knows he's that famous Hebrew strong-man. The account of his life is so confusing it can make you doubt that he was really authentic. On the one hand he's heralded as a hero of the faith in the New Testament. On the other hand he's a whoremonger and profane rebel who repeatedly provokes God. On one hand, his birth was attended by angelic visitation and miracles on par with John the Baptist's birth. On the other hand his career consisted in killing people and little else. On one hand, he sleeps with Delilah and loves her. On the other hand, she tries three times to destroy him without even hiding her intent, yet he stays with her for that final time. How do we explain this man? Tonight (Thurs. 07/09/15) we discuss him. Your host, Rev. Rick Anderson on "Jewish Roots", each Thursday at 9:30 pm, EDT. [This is an archived show: not "LIVE".
