Waiting for Obama to use this as Bilical citation for global warming.......
I’ve got a question that I don’t think is quite covered in the Religion Forum rules.
If a FReeper fancies himself a prophet and posts his prophecies, can he be criticized as a false prophet or does his status as a FReeper somehow protect him?
Did you know the above two verses are the ones the tempter (the devil) twisted as recorded in Matthew 4:6, as the 'devil' said "IF Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down:...." The 'devil' left out the relevant words 'to keep Thee in all Thy ways', and added at any 'at any time'.
Yup, the water rose. And the water fell.
Ask the Samoans.
I noticed this picture on your blog, under the caption "Angels Protecting the Homeless". Is it your assertion that what look like wisps of smoke are photographic evidence of angels? How do you know it is not cigarette smoke, vehicle exhaust, or an artifact of the photographic process? Even if you were certain the photograph portrays spirits, how could you be certain they were not demonic rather than angelic?
You never said “Thus sayeth the Lord” so you are just making a prediction or assumption, not speaking for the Lord? Or do you claim to be speaking for the Lord. All in or all out
Did God use the rainbow as a sign that He would never again destroy the world by flood?
The source of this content is a blog at joshuachronicles.blogspot.com and titled “The Joshua Chronicles,” but the source identified by the poster at the top of the thread is listed as “Bible and The Comforter.”
Regardless who “The Comforter” is or might be claimed to be, the source of this content is misidentified. Further, if “The Comforter” is intended to mean God, I must object, since the work is authored by Jeff Kingshott, who by all indications is NOT a deity and is in fact just as mortal as the rest of us.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THANKS JEDEDIAH.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
Thanks for sharing this.
I think it’s quite accurate.

Deaths as typhoon pounds Japan
Melor is the first typhoon to hit
Japan in two years [Reuters]
At least two people have been killed and dozens more injured in Japan, as a powerful typhoon swept its way up the main island of Honshu.
Typhoon Melor is the first such storm to make a direct hit on Japan in two years.
Packing gusts up to 200kmh, Melor made landfall before dawn on Thursday, tearing roofs off scores of buildings and forcing the cancellation of flights and train services.
According to Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency, more than 11,000 people have been taken to emergency shelters, while more than 40,000 homes were without electricity.
The two people confirmed killed were both struck by flying debris from trees felled or uprooted by the storm.
In the Japanese capital, Tokyo, train operators delayed or cancelled services on many lines, leaving commuters stranded across the city during the busy morning rush hour.

Parts of the city also experienced power cuts.
Japan’s meteorological agency warned that large parts of the country, including Tokyo, and the western industrial hub of Osaka, were at high risk of landslides as the typhoon moved along the archipelago.
Japanese car company Toyota announced that because of the typhoon it would halt production at all 12 of its domestic plants for one day.

The typhoon had weakened slightly as it churned across Honshu, but was “still very dangerous,” said Takeo Tanaka, a weather forecaster from the agency.
“Winds are violent and rain is torrential. You should also be on guard against mudslides.”
Typhoon Melor was later downgraded to a tropical storm.
Melor is the latest in a series of typhoons and tropical storms to batter east Asia this year.
Japan is among the best prepared countries in the region for handling typhoons and has built extensive defences against floods and landslides, including storm surge barriers to protect coastal areas.
But despite these precautions typhoons can still cause widespread death and disruption.
In August, at least 25 people were killed when Typhoon Etau caused flash floods and landslides in Japan, even though it avoided a direct hit.
The deadliest storm to hit Japan was Typhoon Vera in 1959 which tore through Honshu, causing widespread flooding and leaving more than 5,000 dead in one of Japan’s worst natural disasters.
