And why do you suppose they crucified my Lord. He said, it was because He "testified that their works were evil." By the way, God's grace delivered me from ten years of drunkeness and drug abuse. I am very familiar with His grace. Also familiar with His chastisement and judgment. It was that that brought me back home.

[Darksheare]

"And why do you suppose they crucified my Lord."

So because He paid the price for ALL sins, that makes your statement correct?
He paid the penalty for not only YOUR sins, but ALL mankind.
The trick is, we have to accept it.
Perhaps your focus is wrong.
How many people will come to know Him because of the hurricane?

Couldn't your focus be wrong?

Well good for you.....leave the rest of us alone.

You know your problem, bootlee?

You don't speak the truth in love. I turn your attention to 1 Corinthians 13.

¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
³ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
⁴ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
⁵ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
⁶ Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
⁷ Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
⁸ Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
⁹ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
¹⁰ But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
¹¹ When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
¹² For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
¹³ And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity

The Apostle Paul means "love" when he says "charity." Learn from that.
