| Feb 25, 2023 at 22:28 | comment | added | Adam | a modern twist does not include completely re writing the scripture to say something it does not. If the original script does not say "the oil wouldn't flow", then that is not what happened. This is even more problematic given the text actually says that God spoke to Samuel telling him repeatedly "the Lord has not chosen this one" then when David arrived the Lord said "Rise and anoint him, for he is the one." | |
