God hates your trailer park.

[Scythian]

When man sinned the wheels were set in motion, God could no longer walk with man in the cool of the garden, and in many ways, was left on his own in a world without the overriding protection of God. We chose to go it alone, and so far, it ain’t been working out well, that’s all there is to it folks. We sinned, the world became a hazard instead of a blessing.

The Arminians have Pat Robertson and the Calvinists have the likes of John Piper.

Piper is a hyper-Calvinists, but there are worse.

Luke 13:2-5

2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
KJV

[Gamecock]

It just amazes me how Christians will spout off that God is in control, until something happens that offends their sensibilities. Then God had nothing to do with it....

He sounds like the Reverend in The Simpsons.

He could google “theodicy” and discover he’s not alone....

[editor-surveyor]

I often disagree with Piper, but he has a solid point on this. There are numerous verses that assure us that God is active in human events. Only an empty-headed deist could see it otherwise.

You got me all excited when I saw the word ‘Meteorology’!

I love the weather and I want to become a Meteorologist in the worst way!

I have always thought it silly when I hear people say god did this or that for a reason. Dammit people, $%!T happens and god doesn’t have anything to do with it.

Piper said he doesn’t know why if God has a quarrel with America that he wouldn’t show his displeasure in Washington or Hollywood instead of places like Henryville, Ind., but that “every deadly wind in any town is a divine warning to every town.”

There's a sobering answer to this question: God chastened every son He loves.

[Hot Tabasco]

Friday, God caused a fierce wind to blow over my neighbor’s big blue spruce. I don’t know why, maybe He didn’t like her beagle......On numerous occasions I would pray to Him to make the darn thing shut up, maybe He was hoping the tree would hit it but missed.

Who was Jesus rebuking when He rebuked the storm at sea? Was He rebuking God? I think not. If God is out to wipe out sin using the form of a twister then I can suggest other countries to be devastated rather then the mid-west USA.
