How we die.

[Delphiki]

Next time you think of mentioning a nation totally devoted to Christ, take a look at what those stats could look like today:

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Yet the region of my country largely known as the bible belt coincides with the region also largely known as tornado alley. Yay, God!

 

[Delphiki]

What would bring God joy... is sharing GOOD Helpful science: iow
Science used to benefit His children so all can live LIFE Abundantly as God us created.
but
I forgot: this thread was started by someone wanting to yak about how to die. Never mind.

It's "How we die" not "How to die". Of course, if you fail to pick up on small key words like that, it's no wonder that you don't understand the contexts of your own holy books (because if you did, you'd probably too smart to believe any of it). I might suggest that you try to be more careful when you read things.

QV please:

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.

Psalm 83:15 So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

It's "How we die" not "How to die".

As I understand it, we die when our telomeres fail to do their jobs.

(Or maybe it's the other way around.)

Uh, okay.

You mean "Here are some disasters and political events that happened to coincide with some events I don't like. I think this magically proves some mysterious point!"

Not to mention the the unstated implication that God is quite happy to kill people at random when things happen that he disapproves of.

What does it matter how we name hurricanes? It is the scientists who can warn us in advance. It is the scientists who come up with hurricane resistant roofs, etc ad infinitum. Sure go ahead and claim that God gave us the wisdom of science; However, unless scientists conduct science then no amount of prayers will make planes safer, cure diseases, increase agricultural yields etc.

It is the scientists who do the work and to put it frankly "SCIENCE DOES NOT GIVE TWO HOOTS WHAT EACH SCIENTIST BELIEVES IN SO LONG AS HE CONDUCTS SCIENCE ACCORDING TO SCIENTIFIC RULES".

I challenge anyone to show me where science agrees with any of the supernatural claims made by the Bible?

Do you creationists really believe that a Christian scientist will get better results simply because he is a Christian?

Spirituality has nothing to do with science and science does not delve into the supernatural.

 

[Skavau]

2 Corinthians 5:11a Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;

Or in this case, you repulse man.

Why should I adulate a being that is by your own words here content to kill people at random when certain events that he does not like occur?

Heart disease up 40%

Cancer up 190%

THANKS A LOT SCIENTISTS AND YOUR EVILUTION

Well you know people these days are eating junk food and its arguably why cancer and heart diseases are so up today. Btw evolution takes millions of years.

Yes, I know, I was being facetious Poe's Law strikes again!

Actually, it only takes a generation. Large morphological changes may take millions of years, but evolution itself happens well within human lifetimes.
