Q&A: Why is Samson in the Hebrews Hall of Faith? Was Samson saved?

The Gospels Are History Not Myth 00:58:25 – 01:00:27

Q&A question about Samson's presence in Hebrews 11.

Hebrews 11:32 lists Samson among those who "through faith subdued kingdoms." Mike's view: Samson performed supernatural feats through the power of God, which is why he is listed. The text implies saving faith. Mike says this is not definitively stated but implied — Samson had saving faith. Mike sees this as evidence of God's grace toward a deeply flawed person.

Obedience is not a secondary issue

The article argues that the restriction on women serving as pastors, grounded in 1 Timothy 2:12, is not a secondary or debatable theological issue but a plain obedience issue. The author contends Paul's prohibition is rooted in creation order (not culture), making it transcultural and non-negotiable, and that egalitarian interpretations require "obliterating" what Paul plainly says. The piece ends with a challenge to egalitarians: what does obedience or disobedience to this passage actually look like?
