“He causes it to rain on the just and on the unjust” Mathew 5:45

(I’m no Bible scholar and I know this much)

Ohhhhh, right, because it never “rains” on the so-called just.

Entirely too Calvinistic a reading and I would just bet the other day you were down on Mourdock, the Republican candidate for Senator from Indiana.

He's pretty Calvinistic you know ~ and so are you ~ INCREDIBLE.

When Matthew refers to rain, he's really saying that anyone inside a field is affected by the field. What he didn't say, but which is really Calvinistic, is there are those who are OUTSIDE THE FIELD ~ and you can recognize them (the truly saved) by their behavior. On the other hand Matthew is also saying that rain usually doesn't make decisions on who to drop on, but if you think about it Matthew didn't have the tools at hand to test the hypothesis.

So, which is it ~ is Matthew speaking as a scientist, a climatologist, or maybe as a religious commenter and teacher?

So many questions; so little time!

Thank you, yes, God does allow rain on the just and the unjust. God also has used this time of obama to wake up the sleeping people that sometimes it is best not to accept something new and flashy. what is tried and true is what works.
