Wrong once again. Job, Theology of; Temptation, Test

Satan wagered that he can make Job curse God for misfortunes Satan would cause. The first thing all sorts of Evangelical ministers said when tsunami hit Thailand was "God's wrath!" (morons) I have seen many a "Christian" figuratively shake his hand at God for misfortune saying "How can God allow this? I am a good Christian, I go to church and pay my tithe..." Even Adam blamed God for giving him "that woman." Don't be spouting "official theology" at me, but take up reading comprehension, and NEVER blame God for anything.

Think so huh? Here's a true story related by missionaries from a sister church of ours to Thailand.

At Christmastime that year, the missionaries were told by the local muslim clerics that if they wanted to celebrate Christmas, they had to do it out of sight or there would be repercussions. I take it you might have an idea what those would be?

At any rate, the missionaries took their little flocks and went up into the mountains, and lo! there they were, up high safe and sound while the flood came and took all the others away.
