Do you agree with Jentezen?
Why do you think that lust was involved here at all?Samson's lust was caused from his heart as well as his physical eyes.
Goatskin?Is he wearing leather pants?
The Scripture testifies of Christ, as I see here with Samson. The types are not perfect, just as the paschal lamb. Although I find them to be wonderful, they are not as wonderful as Wonderful Himself.I never thought that this way of using the bible was smart ( types), but hey that's me.

His name shall be called Wonderful.
Are you not using types to show something?To each his own. But I never appreciated my God coffee being percolated through the filter of the bible to begin with.

Do you?
To assign any of those things to Samson, only shows that what you do not know... is what Samson's father and mother did not know.Perhaps not on every point, but I do on the broad outline:
Some consequences of sexual sin do include a loss of mission, vision, common sense, healthy fear, and a loss of God's favor.

All of this is according to the Lord's purpose.
They are. It is God's work.Why can't God's consequences be accomplished through those consequences for sin?
Navel gazers can think of a number of things.Are there other examples in Scripture of sexual sin leading to a loss of God's favor? I can think of a number of them.
It makes my wife want to kick me when I say this, because she says most people do not understand what I am saying.To each his own. But I never appreciated my God coffee being percolated through the filter of the bible to begin with. But hey, like I said, that's me. Type hunters ( usually types used from the old testament to shore up the new) are poor man theologians in my estimation. But hey. If it fits someone...good on them.
The new faithful should have, due their new faith, enough elbows within and without finding types for them in the old testament to point them out.

I have always taught my sons that I do not want them to know the Bible, I want them to know the God of the Bible and there is a big difference.
