Speaking at a prayer event inside the US Capitol, Rep. Michele Bachmann said that this nation has experienced God's judgment twice on September 11.

So you’re telling me that we are all okay with God, we are being protected by God
but that Islam has been invading our culture, our government, our military, our media, our civil liberties...all because of a coincidence?
It’s all just a coincidence?
God did NOT bomb America.
No. I'm saying the opposite, actually while you imply that God is protecting nations like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay ...etc.
Don't you see that's the side of the argument you are on?
Of course we’re being protected by God....we’re experiencing his Mercy or we’d all be utterly destroyed.
The very short book of Joel is most instructive as to what God said. Now this book is made part of the so called new testament by Peter in Acts 2:17. I will not tell you what to think as it is easily read and understood about what God said He was going to do IF.
And I know, understand and believe where you are coming from, globally.
My disagreement is with those who claim that the USA (which is the most conservative nation in the western world and the most Christian nation in the world) is being bombed by God because of who we are and what we do while the Islamic nation of UAE gets rich and never suffers natural disasters along with Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Uruguay...etc go untouched, almost as if they were blessed by God himself. That's the part I do not agree with.
I am uncertain why asking for G*d forgiveness and mercy is so bad. I have done so numerous times. Thank you G*d for the blessings you has bestowed on me.
have not has
Benghazi is a chance for us to reclaim our country from those in power who hate America.
Seriously.
Shame on us if we miss the opportunity.
We must demand the truth, regardless of where it leads.
Obama,Biden,Clinton,Panetta,Demspey and Petraeus were willing to sacrifice 36 Americans in order to cover up something. Two Americans said “Nuts” to that notion and disobeyed orders to save their fellow Americans, giving their lives to that effort.
That sacrifice demands honor.
And if we have any honor left as Americans, we need to pursue justice over Benghazi.
God gave US a brain, and IF, we by ignorance, dereliction of duty, and/or deception allow lying liberal godless leftists to rule over US ... He is not going to get in their way... Now individually HE says IF we do not leave Him, He will never forsake US. And in Joel those that attack us are called God's army. And all these peoples you mention are God's children as well... and just like He told Gideon in Judges 7 to cull down the size of Gideon's army so the people did not claim the victory for themselves.
This nation use to allow God in the public square, not so these days. All manner of gods are included in the public square just as it was Written would come to pass. We the people in majority have turned our backs on the Creator, and so this nation is going to have to deal with the consequences.
Government by law requires US to keep middle east oil flowing through our engines of economy... This is not the first tine in the course of human history wherein God used/allowed the negative to be the hand of correction of those that claim to follow Him.
Deception is the last plague and tribulation, not blood letting. I am throwing a whole lot at you, but, the problem is that too few are Biblical literate or just plain reject the warnings and promises God made from the beginning.
What an idiot! Go away Michele, way far away......NOW!
Didn’t she win her last one in a squeaker?
Would be nice if she stepped aside for a non-loon GOP candidate. Can take her gay (but NOT GAY!) husband with her.
Bachmann did nothing of the sort, what a vicious hateful lie worthy of the worst leftists anywhere.
SOP on a thread posted by an idiot anti-Freeper who doesn't support any conservative women but does support anti-Freeper women who were banned for lying about and disparaging Free Republic on AF sites.
You shoud be ashamed, the liar that posted this thread knows no shame.
More leftist crap:
Michelle Bachmann, on the other hand, is implying that God himself directly bombed the Boston Marathon and killed innocent people.Neither did Bachmann say He did.God did NOT bomb America.
WRONG! MY so called "leftist crap" has been consistent all along - Islamic Radicals were behind the Boston Bombing and not God.
If you think leftists are blaiming Islam for this terrorist attack then you got a lawsuit against your first grade teacher. She didn't correctly teach you the difference between left and right. You done got it mixed up.
I do stand corrected on the Boston Marathon bombing (lots of events going on that day) you are right, she was not referring to Boston. I was wrong there but that’s the only part where I was wrong. 911 and Benghazi was not God’s judgement on America.
MYI notice you don't speak to the issues that I mentioned of what you posted (thereby claiming they are facts), here's the QUOTES by you:so called"leftist crap" has been consistent all along.
"Michelle Bachmann jumped a shark when claiming that God is the one that really bombed the Boston Marathon killing an eight year old boy"Just making it clear that things that Bachmann said cannot be interpreted as claimed when taken in context with proper calm and rational reading comprehension."Michelle Bachmann, on the other hand, is implying that God himself directly bombed the Boston Marathon and killed innocent people."
Of course I and Bachmann know that "Islamic Radicals were behind the Boston Bombing and not God."
If you think leftists are blaiming(sic) Islam for this terrorist attack then you got a lawsuit against your first grade teacher
Something of course neither I nor Bachmann implied or said.
What grade were you taught spelling? I think it is YOU that has a potential lawsuit against a teacher...
If you want to see how God judges a people--nation etc.--read the Old Testament.
The more those in control drag the USA away from God, the more he will judge this nation in a negative manner.
Back when Clinton was elected President, my pastor mentioned how horrible that was.
I pointed out to him that because of the way politicians and other miscreants are working to move America away from God, that that is a sign that He is judging the nation.
If you want your statements quoted above to be accepted, please site direct quotes that prove them.
I understand the angst with which some people perceive female politicians and others in the public eye, ie Bachmann, Palin, Malkin, Coulter, Barnhart etc etc but it should not be allowed to be taken to such absurd levels.
But I do realize that was the reason this thread was posted, to bash Bachmann.
Sorry I missed seeing this before replying to your previous post to me.
We disagree on how God judges nations though. He pulls his protection a distance away when a nation pulls their obeying of His guidance away.
I remember a shirt a few years ago that had on the back, God why did you allow the killings at Columbine school? On the shirt, God's answer was you didn't want Me in your schools.
I understand where you're coming from there. "allow" to me is a bit strong because we have some shallow minded people in this country who confuse "allow" with "supporting".
I remember being in a conversation with a homeless teen at the library and I told him I didn't think I would try to sell the Santa Claus thing to my kids because when they get older and find out the man in the red suit was not real they may also conclude the same about Jesus Christ. The teen looked at me and asked "You mean Jesus is real?"
Another one I like is the answer to the atheist's question, "where was God during September 11th 2001?"
He was helping the blind man down the stairwell and all the others who miraculously survived that day.
I agree with that. I just don't consider it to be God's judgement. I think God's judgement is something someone like Osama Bin Laden experienced once his time on Earth ended. To me that's judgement.
