(To start out, what if there were a God, and He didn't believe in YOU?)
Oh, Terrific, so you KNOW that's not true, and the God of your making would never do such a thing, and anyone who would consider the possibility needs a tinfoil hat transplant, they are so crazy.
Except that, often, the God of history and eternity doesn't do things especially to avoid offending our delicate sensibilities.
Often when I punish my children, they don't even know about the punishment. It's because when I reward them, it isn't to teach them a lesson, it's because some virtuous act of theirs DEMANDS that I render them justice by rewarding them. There's no message, except that justice is rendering to each person his due.
And in the negative, rendering each person his punishment for his vice, his in-virtue, doesn't have to have a message.
Luke 16: 19-31, Lazarus and the Rich Man (Dives): 7 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment. ’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them. ’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent. ’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead. ’”
In Romans, 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
God's justice does not necessarily get compressed into something that would fit in with Twitter, or a Presidential press conference. If people had oriented their minds to the truth, so that they would receive it and honor it, then perhaps God would give them a message in the justice He renders them, in consolation or adversity, depending on their desserts.
It was said in an old catechism that the slaughter of the innocents of Bethlehem, after the Magi deceived Herod and returned to their homes by another way, occurred because the people of Bethlehem failed to courteously receive and honor the Saviour when it was His time to be born, instead sending him out back to the animal shed. Their generation of young men would have been protected like the firstborn of the Hebrew slaves by the painting of the blood of the sacrificial lambs on the lintels and doorposts, while the firstborn of the Egyptians had to die because of their bloodthirsty dishonoring of Adonai.
No, it absolutely couldn't be that Covid, which could get so bad that the world could be depopulated like Europe in 1350 with the Black Death, it couldn't be that Covid is punisment for the possibly 500 million toll of death of the innocent unborn.
Break out your tinfoil hat.
Lame punishment.
The Usurper, and all the evil he will do, is one punushment for abortion.
The Usurper, and all the evil he will do to God’s people, is one punushment for abortion.
If it was God’s punishment for abortion, it would have a 100% mortality rate, not a 99.7% survival rate.
God is a better marksman.
So God-Hating Andrew Cuomo is God’s instrument in implementing his plan?
No.
biden and democrat control of our government are God’s punishment for our sins, those of abortion, injustice, and sexual perversion.
So He is killing people who are against it as punishment?
Does not sound right to me but your God may be different then mine.
How about this instead, He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
I seriously do not ever “get” such ideas.
You’d think if G-d was placing some punishment over abortion it would be punishment on those promoting and supporting abortion and not the population in general.
G-d knows individuals who do not support or promote abortion are not in control of those who do.
Correct - I do not believe G-d endeavors to punish the innocent for acts of the guilty which the innocent have no control over.
Actually, losing our country might be. Lev 20:1-5
The Black Death was worse. Much much worse.
And, evil people decided long ago they wanted to make a bioweapon that would kill as many people as the Spanish Flu of 1918. There were secret programs and some not so secret.
They needed the right vector. They tried a tick and we got Lyme disease. They tried mosquitoes and we got Zika and West Nile. There were plenty others.
A few decades ago they began to work with coronaviruses. Why? Because the best way to spread a disease is to match it with the common cold. They determined that casual spreading tucked inside a regular flu season may be the perfect vector.
No one in the media has questioned this information. No one is curious as to why a bioweapons lab created a coronavirus bioweapon and just happened to get some patents on them so they could make money on them. Re-read that.
And, when they were working on the coronavirus bioweapon all the scientists were required to wear full hazmat suits, each with their own individual oxygen systems. Why would that be? Because they were working to create the next best plague since 1918 that would kill as many people as the Spanish Flu. They were serious.
Fortunately, for us their experiment in coronavirus bioweapons has turned out to be pretty much as deadly as a normal flu.
However, that did not stop them from ginning up the media reports to make us as fearful as possible. And a fearful people are easily manipulated.
How many suicides? How many people died alone in a hospital room without family or their ministers, priests or rabbi's. How many families could not have a funeral for their loved one?
This coronavirus bioweapon has been with for nearly a while year.
So, I reiterate, evil people do evil things.
You cannot MOCK GOD and MURDER 66 MILLION BABIES without HIS JUST PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT UPON US!!
This is a weak punishment, then.
It does not compare to ANY Black Plague in % pop killed (not just 1350, BTW), even today. The Bubonic Plague still has a death rate of about 10% of infections. In the old days, it wiped out approx MINIMUM 30% of the European pop. Not infections; population.
It’s also weak compared to the Spanish Flu.
What if it isn’t?
This.
The OP was ridiculous.
If so, it is a rather weak punishment for the abomination that is abortion.
When we have mainstreamed and celebrated violating 9 of the 10 Commandments, IMHO we have lot of reasons to be worried about Divine Consequences.
I was trying to make everyone review and think. It’s been 10 out of 10 for a long time. Golden Rule also not honored much these days either.
