Bad theology.
Wait until the events of the Tribulation start to occur!
Then you'll really have something to ook at!
(Unless, hopefully, you're not here.)
This isn't the tribulation, though we are talking about. You have explicitly linked the death of people whom you HAVE NOT SHOWN THEIR DIRECT RELATION TO THE EVENTS SUPPOSEDLY TRIGGERING THE PUNISHMENT.
Your theology is broken. Or you worship a very different type of God.
I'll be here until the end of my days. At which point I will die. And generations will pass beyond me.
And people will read about the desire for the destruction from God that the Pious preached non-stop. whether it's PUNISHMENT for someone's wrong doing or general tipping the game board over so EVERYONE gets it.
And they'll wonder if this is the same religion that spawned the bumperstickers saying "God is Love".
Your attitude reminds me of this passage ...
Revelation 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Revelation 16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Here are some facts -- you decide:
- 30 October 1991: The Halloween Monster, a.k.a. The Perfect Storm, strikes the U.S. amid the "land-for-peace" Madrid peace talks; President Bush's ocean-side home destroyed.
- 23 August 1992: President Bush moves Madrid talks to U.S. soil; that very day, Hurricane Andrew devastates southern Florida.
- 16 January 1994: President Clinton meets with Syrian President Hafez Assad to discuss more "land for peace" arrangements; less than 24 hours later, a 6.9 earthquake pulverized southern California.
- 1 September 1993: President Clinton announces a meeting with Arafat for the Oslo peace accords, to be held on 13 September; after a week of meandering in the Atlantic Ocean, Hurricane Emily hits North Carolina on that very day.
- 21 January 1998: while waiting to meet with Arafat at the White House, President Clinton's sex scandal breaks out.
- 27 September 1998: Arafat is meeting with the president in Washington; Hurricane Georges hits Alabama and stalls. The hurricane stalls until Arafat leaves and then it dissipates. Parts of Alabama declared a disaster area.
- 17 October 1998: Arafat comes to the Wye Plantation meeting; incredible rains fall on Texas, which cause record flooding. Parts of Texas declared a disaster area.
- 3 September 1999: Secretary of State Albright meets with Arafat in Israel; Hurricane Dennis comes ashore on this very day after weeks of changing course in the Atlantic Ocean.
- 12-26 July 2000: Arafat at the Camp David meetings. Powerful droughts throughout the country. Forest fires explode in West into uncontrollable fires. By the end of August, 7 million acres are burnt.
- 9 November 2000, two days after the presidential election: Arafat meets with President Clinton at the White House to try and salvage the peace process; worst election crisis in over 100 years occurs.
The Tribulation is the judgment that ends the dispensation of Grace.What's a "Tribulation?"
The Tribulation is the judgment that ends the dispensation of Grace.
It is a seven-year period of events that starts at the Rapture and ends at Armageddon.
When does it start?
I'm in!
When do we start?!
Having fun with your newly-learned doctrine, are you?
God doesn't x paragrabs with the weather.
(You are familiar with Edgar Allan Poe's, X-ing a Paragrab, aren't you?)
Oh, so God only punishes other people's sins with disasters, not yours? Or are you saying you don't sin?
There are people that believe we are able to live free from sin. Their big question is always what sin is God not able to deliver and set us free from.Or are you saying you don't sin?
Have you read X-ing a Paragrab, by Edgar Allan Poe?
It answers your problem quite well.
When we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.If other people's sins get punished with disasters, why don't yours do too?
There are people that believe we are able to live free from sin. Their big question is always what sin is God not able to deliver and set us free from.
