1 KINGS 1 : 9 - 15

Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty men
with his fifty. He went up to Elijah, who was sitting
on the top of a hill, and said to him, “O man of God,
the king says, ‘Come down.’” But Elijah answered
the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire
come down from heaven and consume you and
your fifty.” Then fire came down from heaven and
consumed him and his fifty.
Again the king sent to him another captain of fifty
men with his fifty. And he answered and said to him,
“O man of God, this is the king's order, ‘Come down
quickly!’” But Elijah answered them, “If I am a man
of God, let fire come down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty.” Then the fire of God
came down from heaven and consumed him and his
fifty.
Again the king sent the captain of a third fifty with
his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up and
came and fell on his knees before Elijah and
entreated him, “O man of God, please let my life,
and the life of these fifty servants of yours, be
precious in your sight. Behold, fire came down from
heaven and consumed the two former captains of
fifty men with their fifties, but now let my life be
precious in your sight.” Then the angel of the
Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be
afraid of him.” So he arose and went down with him
to the king.


Did this really happen undecided, I find it hard to believe, just read it carefully, fire coming down from heaven killed 51 people and the king sent another 51 persons, they too were burnt to death and the King sent another 51 persons grin?
At the end the Angel told him to not be afraid, follow him now undecided

I would take that as a no. But why do you refuse me all 3 times? You are not an engineer or a doctor are you? Even if you were you don't know the information I have yet you refuse to believe me.

This is my point. I could tell you now that Nigeria is not in Africa and immediately you would stop me because you would say.. no this man is lying . Not because you see me as a crook or criminal but because you have been raised to know that Nigeria is in Africa.

This is your logic. Correct ?

Now based on logic you could tear down assess and reanalyze every inch of these words based on our information and it wouldn't make sense. Not just this but how did moses path the red sea, or Elijah call forth a lion to devour kids or any aspect of the Bible or Koran you choose to analyze based on logic and understanding it would fall flat. Do you know why? Because we are but man. Man is the product not the maker . We were created not the creator, so we are the product can only see , understand and analysis things based on our own experience.

For example if you approached a someone in Sahara desert and offered him a 50kg keg of water for an iPhone 13 pro max he wouod swap it in a heart beat...

Now go to Lagos and make that same swap ok computer villager you would likely be lynched .

My point is to make full value of holy scriptures be it the Bible or Koran one must first empty ones self or belive wisdom and knowledge. Then assimilate these words in simplicity . Only then can these words breath life into you as they are meant to.

What are 50 men moving in one direction when instructed by their creator? When they believe the message is from the heavens ? They will love a thousand more in number because as humans we recognise and believe that's his will supercedes all. And rightly so.

So we should “believe” everyone and anything without questioning?
If you tell me Nigeria is not in africa and another person says it is in africa, why should I believe you and not him since all i have to do is blindly “believe”?
