GOD DID IT, PART II: Reader Randall Parker calls my attention to this Worldnet Daily article by Anthony C. LoBaido, which makes Jerry Falwell's offensive theodicy look sophisticated and kind. A small sample:
Is New York the head of the "Great Satan"? All that is evil in the world can be found in New York: MTV, the United Nations, the U.N. abortion programs, the Council on Foreign Relations, New Age Church of St. John the Divine, Wall Street greed, Madison Avenue manipulation and of course more confirmed AIDS cases than the rest of America combined. Let's remember the filthy sodomite gay parade last summer in New York. Let's remember all the New York politicians falling all over themselves to praise this sick spectacle.These guys should apologize to their fellow Americans, but first they should apologize to God. Since WND chooses to end the piece with a plug for my friend Hugh Hewitt's book, implicating Hugh in the article's sentiment, I've asked Hugh for a response. I hope he will cancel his Worldnet Daily column. Free speech is essential as government policy, but there are some people, as Ramesh Ponnuru puts it in this excellent column, whom civilized people should not let into our houses. Not only LoBaido but the editors who published him should be shunned. [Posted 9/15.]And let's not forget that New Yorkers elected—by a landslide—the openly Marxist, treasonous and abortion-mongering, occultic Hillary to a Senate seat. All while fully knowing what she was all about.
So are we all innocent here in New York? Are we innocent with our porno, drugs, filthy Jay Leno monologues, our idolatry, materialism and consumerism? Innocent when Republican Governor George Pataki stands next to the blood-stained dictator of Communist China as he rings the opening bell for the stock market on Wall Street?...
Can the remnant in America help but honestly ask themselves: Is this the fulfillment of Revelation chapters 17 and 18 (Mystery Babylon) or has God raised up Shiite Islam as a sword against America?
Fess up Kevvie-kins. Did you turn all red and stomp your foot as you typed that?
And the chaplain of the New York City fire department was crushed unrecognizable by tons of concrete falling from the sky.
Why don't these "God's judgement" people have an answer for that?
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
My 17 month old grandson drown in May..God took him home..why do you assumne that death must be a punishment and life a reward?
Was it not you who suggested that the horrific actions in New York and DC, were evidence of God's judgement?
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
This is our God too...It may make you feel good not to think on this..but we need to understand that God is holy..He hates sin..
There is a grave difference between what God lets happen and what God makes happen.
To sum it up, when God lets distaster strike it is for all to see and repent. When God makes something happen, like Sodom and Gomorrah, it is too late for repentence.
What this preacher is trying to say (I think) is that un-righteous behaviour had led to God lifting protection to allow this to happen.
Think about what you just said...
No they won't.
The Pharisees brought a crippled child to Jesus and asked if the child was suffering for the father's sins.
Jesus said no and condemned them.
I'm sure they can quote chapter and verse, but they won't.
Think about what you just said...
So are you suggesting that Osama bin Laden is (as he claims to be) an instrument of God?
And that the horrible events in New York are evidence of God's judgement?
Is God judging America for her wickedness?
Aren't there far greater examples of wickedness for God to exact his vengence on?
Sure He does. He sent His Son to die to conquer sin.
So, were all these folks in the Twin Towers whoremongers, and liars and sorcerers and idolaters? Must be, since God visited His judgment on them.
Do you try to THINK logically with the brain God gave you, or do you just spout Scripture?
