Re: Pray Hurricane Sandy destroys Fire Island, Statue of Liberty

The biggest problem being that you have a whole lot of *church folk* who
believe this,
who stand around with their hands in their pockets, while people don't have
clothes,
a roof over their head, or food and water.
Oh yeah - what can we do?
We know that the America Red Cross charges you for a cup of coffee - but all
your dollars blew away with everything else that went up in smoke.
And, they are having a marathon run and don't care that you down have that
roof over your head??
And, oh yeah, apply to FEMA - you can do that on your cell phone - but your
cell phone is six feet under to sand - and you don't have electricity.
How dumb can we get --
Where is God in all of this -
God is waiting for us to ask HIM for assistance.
There are some churches in Times Square that are feeding all who come in
the door, and making sure they have clothes on their backs.
But how do people get to them??

What drugs are you on? I've always been curious. Because you never make a lick of sense.

Where is God in all of this -

I can answer that. God is right here in Freehold, Iowa, at the Landover Baptist Church.

You would know that if you had heard Pastor Zeke's sermon this morning. Wow!!

Where God is not, is in the Eastern part of the United States where he sent the storm call Sandy. He is quite pleased.

Believe what? That God is punishing New York for all it's sins? That would be correct. Did Iowa get hit by the storm?

Stand around with hands in pockets? Charity starts at home my friend.

What can we do? Nothing, it was God's will.

The marathon was cancelled.

No God is not waiting for you to ask for help. He is waiting for you to ask in his name:
John 14:14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

How do people get to them? Walk, God gave you two legs, use them.

Re: Pray Hurricane Sandy destroys Fire Island, Statue of Liberty

To the ones who say a hurricane is God´s punishment against liberals: You are clearly insane, IF God should punish anyone He would start by incinerating Wall Street with all the big bankers inside. THEY put us all in this mess.

God punishes everyone that defies His word. Here are just two examples:

Leviticus 26:43

The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

Lamentations 4:22
The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.

God likes to use storms to punish the iniquitous:

2 Esdras Chapt. 15

38And then shall there come great storms from the south, and from the north, and another part from the west.
39 And strong winds shall arise from the east, and shall open it; and the cloud which he raised up in wrath, and the star stirred to cause fear toward the east and west wind, shall be destroyed.
40 The great and mighty clouds shall be puffed up full of wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid, and them that dwell therein; and they shall pour out over every high and eminent place an horrible star,
41 Fire, and hail, and flying swords, and many waters, that all fields may be full, and all rivers, with the abundance of great waters.
42 And they shall break down the cities and walls, mountains and hills, trees of the wood, and grass of the meadows, and their corn.

So you see it was God's will.

Re: Pray Hurricane Sandy destroys Fire Island, Statue of Liberty

So, I guess you all hate America? This land wasn't revolutionized on the basis of Christianity, but to get away from the evilness of the Intolerable acts the King committed. You're God would be such a "forgiving" God if he were to forgive the homosexuals and all that went against him.

Sounds like an early version of Adolf Hitler, a dictator. What kind of God is that? Wishing death upon those who don't agree with his twistedness?

God isn't one of your limp-wristed liberal "heroes." He means what He says. Let me illustrate with a story from the Holy Bible. It's one of my favorites.

Under God's direction, Moses' army defeats the Midianites. They kill all the adult males, but take the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some live, he angrily says: "Have you saved all the women alive? Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." So they went back and did as Moses (and presumably God) instructed, killing everyone except for the virgins. In this way they got 32,000 virgins --captive girl children virgins! ---- Numbers 31:1-54

Shout Glory!!

Better yet, just get off the Internet and try getting an education. That way the rest of us aren't wasting our taxpayer money on welfare for you. So, where did you get that
crap from? Oh, sorry, out of a crappy brain.

That crap, as you so ineloquently put it, comes from the Bible (KJV 1611) the Word of God by which we, as Christians, live our lives.

Are your meds starting to wear off again? Did you escape from Bedlam?

You do realize the Bible is fiction, right? It's not something that can be taken seriously in any historian's eyes. I would hope not, considering all the unlawful deaths and ungodly things your god has done in the bible.

Please spare us from your stupid questions. Of course the Bible (KJV 1611 that is) is NOT fiction. It contains the word of God and it’s true down to the very last letter. You may believe it or you may not. It’s your choice whether you should spend the afterlife in Heaven or in Hell and it seems to me like you’ve already made that choice. I hope you like extreme heat God mocker.

Friend, I'm sorry you're having a hard time believing that Jesus was born of a virgin, walked on water, turned a little bread and fish into enough to feed 5000 people, turned water into wine, came back to life and again and is returning to kill almost everyone.

Re: Pray Hurricane Sandy destroys Fire Island, Statue of Liberty

...I would hope not, considering all the unlawful deaths and ungodly things your god has done in the bible.

How could anything God does be described as ungodly?

un·god·ly   [uhn-god-lee] Show IPA

adjective, un·god·li·er, un·god·li·est.
1. not accepting God or a particular religious doctrine; irreligious; atheistic: an ungodly era.
2. sinful; wicked; impious; not conforming to religious tenets or canons: an ungodly life.
3. outrageous; shocking; dreadful; insufferable: an ungodly roar; an ungodly hour to drop in.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ungodly

First and second definitions are just right out.

The problem with the third is that you're applying modern human (read: secular) morality and ethics to the divine, who (according to the Bible) defines what is right, including slavery, genocide, and the death penalty for witches, disobedient children, apostates, non-virgin brides who have been paid for, etc.

What God does is by definition Godly.
