For more Elisha's today! The youth of today have gotten so out of hand and show little respect for those in authority, be they those in spiritual authority or really any other authority. That ONE instance, when Elijah cursed them for disrespecting him, and God sent bears in to teach them a lesson, served to cause them to respect him the rest of his life. You read of no more stories where Elijah was made fun of. 2Ki 2:23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 2Ki 2:24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. 1 hour ago, Tammy Roesch said: The youth of today have gotten so out of hand and show little respect for those in authority, be they those in spiritual authority or really any other authority. This is nothing new, very sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were mauled...they learned a hard lesson that they didn't soon forget. God was merciful to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
