How aweful! That man is not a real Priest, or man of God, he is a common pervert who needs to be turned over to the Police! Don't be afraid of him, we must stand up against all evil like this. Do you remember the great story of David and Goliath?.. in the Book of Samual? I'd like to tell it to you. I hope you have the time to read. It's a great truth of courage and faith... Strait from the Bible. Maybe it will help you shake off your fear of this terrible person, and just turn him in! The story may appear long.. but it really isn't... it's awesome! God is good!
DAVID AND GOLIATH!!!
Now the Philistines gathered their forces for battle. They gathered at Shoch, and they camped in Ephes-dammim. Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together and camped in the valley of Elah, lined up in battle array against the Philistines. The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, and there was a valley between them.
Out from the camp of the Philistines came a champion named Goliath of Gath, whose height was nine feet and nine inches. He had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. He had plates of brass between his shoulders. The staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. A shield bearer walked before him.
Goliath stood and cried out to the armies of Israel; "Why have you come out to set up your armies in battle array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants of Saul? Choose a man to represent you and let him come down to me. If he can fight me and kill me, then we will be your servants, but if I win over him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us." And he added; "I defy the armies of Israel this day, send me a man that we may fight together."
When Saul and all the Israelites heard those words of the Philistines , they were dismayed and very much frightened. And every morning and evening for fourty days the Philistines drew near and challenged the Israelites. David at this time left the court of Saul to go home and feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem. His three eldest brothers were in the army of Saul.
Now Jesse said to David his son; "Take a measure of this parched grain and these ten loaves for your brothers and run to your brothers' camp. Take these ten cheeses to the captain of their group, and see how your brothers are fairing." David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and departed as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the battle line just as the army was going out to fight, shouting their battle cry. For Israel and the Palistines had put the army in battle array, army against army. David left his baggage in the hands, and ran among the army. He came up to his brothers and saluted them.
As he talked with them, there appeared the champion Goliath, out of the armies of the Philistines, and he made his challenge, and David heard it. All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were very much afraid. "Have you seen this man who came up?" the men of Israel said. "He has come up to challenge Israel, and to the man who can kill him the king will give great riches, and he will give him his daughter in marriage, and will make his father's house free in Israel."
And David spoke to the men who stood near him, saying; "Who is this heathen Philistine, that he should challenge the armies of the living God?" Eliab, his eldest brother, heard him speak to the men, and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said; "Why did you come down here? With whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the wickedness of your heart, for you have come down just so that you might see the battle."
David said; "What have I now done? Is there not a reason?" He turned from him toward another man and spoke to him in the same way, and the people spoke again of the reward. And when the people heard the words which David spoke, they repeated them before Saul, and he sent for the boy. And David said to Saul; "Let no man's heart be troubled because of Goliath. I, your servant will go and fight with this Philistine." Saul said; "You are not able to go out to fight with this Philistine, for you are but a boy, and he has been a man of war since his youth."
David said to Saul; "Your servant kept his fathers sheep, and a lion came, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock. I gave chase, and struck the lion down, and rescued it out of his mouth, and then he arose against me, I caught him by his beard and struck him and killed him. Your servant killed both the lion and the bear, and this heathen Philistine will be as one of them, seeing that he has challenged the armies of the living God." Moreover David said; "The Lord who saved me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, he will save me from the hand of this Philistine." Then Saul said to David; "Go, and the Lord be with you."
Saul armed David with his armor, and he put a helmet of brass on his head, and clothed him in a coat of mail. David fastened Saul's sword upon his armor and tried to walk, in order to test the armor, but finding he could not, he said to Saul; "I cannot fight with these, for I am not use to them. "Saul's pieces of armor were too heavy and cumbersome so he undid them and took them off. He took his staff in his hand, and bending down chose five smooth stones out of the brook, and put thm in a sheperd's bag which he carried with him. With his sling in his hand he drew near to the giant Philistine, who waited.
The Philistine came on and drew near to David, and the shield bearer went before him. But when the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a boy, fine and fair of face. The Philistine said to David; "Am I a dog, that you come to fight me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David; "Come to me and I will give your flesh to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field." Then David said to the Philistine; "You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the army of Israel, whom you have challenged. This day the Lord will put you into my hands, and I will strike you down and take your head from you, and I will give the bodies of the army of the Philistines to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And everyone gathered here will know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear, but the battle is the Lord's and he will give you into our hands."
Then, as the Philistine rose up and came nearer to meet David, David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And he put his hand into his bag, and took out a stone, and slung it, and it hit the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead and he fell upon his face on the earth.
So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck down the Philistine and killed him, but there was no sword in David's hand. Therefore David ran and stood upon the Philistine and taking Goliath's sword cut off his head and killed him.
When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. And the men of Israel arose, shouting, and pursued the Philistines all the way to the valley, to the gates of Ekron. The Philistines that were wounded fell down by the road to Shaaraim, as far as Gath and Ekron. Then the children of Israel came back from chasing the Philistines and pillaged their tents. And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put the armor in his own tent.
And when Saul had seen Daviid going forth against Goliath, he had said to Abner, his general; "Abner, whose son is this youth? Abner said; "Upon my word, O king, I do not know." The king said; find out who is this stripling's father." And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with Goliath's head in his hand. And Saul said; "Who are you, young man?" David said; "I am the son of your servant, Jesse the Bethehemite."
