As a Christian I do not believe that 9/11 was the wrath of God. Chatisement is coming but this wasn't it. If the stars fell out of the sky, earthquakes tore the earth and fire spewed out of the Potomac I'd be the first to put on sack cloth and ashes. Hope I haven't offended anyone.
But why must it be stars falling out of the skies? This past month we have been studying Joshua at church so I decided for some reason to start my personal Bible readings for the month from Joshua. I would ask you to look at Joshua 7. Achan took something from the last city the Israelites had conquered and the very next battle God withdrew His protection from them. Many times within the Old Testament, God withdraws His protection from Israel when they sin. It doesn't always entail stars falling from the sky or major earthquakes. Sometimes it is quite subtle. He still does it today to remind us to follow Him.
Christ Himself said He came not to change the law but to fulfill it. Yes, He did make the ultimate and last sacrifice for our sins, but when we as a nation choose to follow 'gods' instead of the one true God, why would not we be chastised for our sin?
Before I get flamed here, that doesn't mean I don't mourn for the victims and cry for justice. I want, and believe that it is God's Will, that as a nation we retaliate against the terrorists. But I also understand and believe that this is a wakeup call for this nation to return to its roots, not only politically, but morally and religiously as well.
