[QUOTE="Visionary1, post: 30830424, member: 682216"] We don't tempt God, and certainly we do not bend to men's foolishness. But there is nothing wrong with exerting our Christian right to silence the devil and put him in his place. In discerning, we mustn't be quick to judge someone else's intention, particularly if we are not used to their level of faith and obedience: Elijah at Mt. Carmel; Daniel in prayer; the Hebrew boys in defiance; and many others. I wouldn't consider any of them to be show-offs; they just knew who their God was, and were assured of His protection. But the phrase "Don't try this at home," comes to mind to those who doubt. [/QUOTE]
