I am bald and two kids made fun of me, should God send two bears to MAUL them like he did in the bible?

Question

2 Kings, 2:23-24.

23: And he (Elisha) 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.

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."

Answer 1

i doubt it but if you was smart you would not care what your hair is like and if u have none cause just think we all will have no hair when we die and get eaten by insects and return to the dust in which we all came from.

Answer 2

it sounds to me like you are not very comfortable with your chrome dome.

Answer 3

No.  You're ordinary.

Answer 4

Notice it does NOT say that God sent the bears.

However, the KJV translates "small children" very wrongly. Everywhere else in the Bible it translates the same words as "young men." The meaning of the hebrew word translated "mock" also carries the idea of threatening words. God had also warned the hebrews many times not to mock or threaten His prophets in any way. These young men knew those warnings. They certainly respected God's prophets after being scarred up and down their backs I can tell you!

To answer the "Lad's" question, "Go up thou bald head" meant that the young men knew the story that Elijah had gone up to heaven in the fiery chariot a few days ago, and now they were making fun of the story, and telling Elisha, (Elijah's protege) to do the same.

Answer 5

sounds like the god we all know and love.

sarcasm.

Answer 6

No god shouldn't send bears to maul those children. If there was a just god he would give them Friar Tuck hair fringes right now.  

Answer 7

You are not a prophet of God. So no bears.

Answer 8

Elisha was a Prophet of the Lord, unless you are one also you don't rate the special protection.

Answer 9

Indubitably.   Tattoo a cross on your head and curse them danged childrens!

Answer 10

Ask and ye shall recieve

Answer 11

What is wrong with you atheists. Do we need to explain everything? You need to take it figuratively  and not literally.

It's not 2 bears per se but 2 teddy bears.

Answer 12

Nothin like a good ol fashioned maulin.

d**n Punks

Answer 13

I also am a bald guy.  I don't get hassled often, but it does happen.  I get complete strangers coming up to me and rubbing my head.  This annoys me a lot more than a simple "go up, thou baldhead".  What the h**l does that even mean, anyway?

So yeah.  Bring on the frigging bears, I say!

EDIT: Cheers David :)

Answer 14

God always gives to those what they deserve. What goes around comes around. Always. Just be patient and sit back and watch it happen.

Answer 15

Im sure i read this question yesterday!

and what if you dont live in a country with bears?

Answer 16

I would be happy to send two highly trained ninjears. They'll rip those children up in no time at all, god doesn't have to lift a finger...as usual.

Answer 17

Is your community capable of supporting the natural habitat of the bears?  They'll need to eat other things later.

Answer 18

People that come against God's anointed are placing their own self in line of danger. The anointed do not have to take any actions, but those that stand against them shall come under God's judgment at some point,unless they repent.
