Did Ruth Bader Ginsburg Die for Our Sins?
The Stream ^ | John Zmirak

Posted on 09/21/2020 10:08:30 PM PDT by KierkegaardMAN

We shouldn’t rush to interpret current events as the will of God. But unless we see Him as a distant, disinterested Watchmaker, we must think that Our Lord nudges events along at crucial times. So the Old Testament tells us, and our theology agrees. We must remain modest and careful in our speculations. Stay careful to label them as provisional, not decisive.

But if we do all that, I think it’s okay to wonder. For instance, did God call home Ruth Bader Ginsburg (long sick and overdue for retirement) at just this moment for some special reason? Perhaps.

Maybe God wants to strip away the veneer of lies and distortions surrounding our upcoming vote in November. Then force us to see what’s really at stake. To take us to the brink of the left’s slippery, Gadarene slope overlooking the sea and warn us: “I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live” (Deut. 30:19).

It’s called pancreatic cancer. A killer.

RBG, one of the country’s greatest abortion advocates, hater of blacks, and proponent of pedophilia.

I’m not sure I’d call going into eternity without Jesus Christ The Messiah, going home.

Was Ruth Bader Ginsburg crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Ruth Bader Ginsburg? …
Not fond of the way the author alludes to 1 Corinthians 1:13, but he does make an interesting point.

She’s dead. I don’t feel the least bit bad about it. I won’t say anything bad. I’ll let the potential babies judge her.

Nope. She’s just dead. Aside from that. I will remain silent.

Not sure who this author is, it was Jesus Christ that died for sin.

The Democrats as the Gaderine swine. Quite an analogy

It was Satan that called her home not God.

I’ve searched myself for sympathy over Ginsburg’s death and found none.

I tend to agree with the writer. RBG’s death came at her appointed time.

Now Trump can name a conservative judge that will be voted in by the Senate before the election. An election where ballots screwed up due to Covid-19 may well need to be decided on by the SC.

I am of the opinion that very few things today are “caused” by God. But God CAN use those things for good.

I think you misunderstand him. He’s totally in your camp. He’s saying her call before Jesus coulb be Him exposing the unvarnished surface of our sinfulness to a starkness: this election is about death vs life.
