Re: Pray for this RETARD to die!
Mr. Goldman, deep down you know there is no Scripture to justify your beliefs that handicapped people are going to burn in Hell just for being handicapped. Yes sometimes God punishes people in life (or uses tragedy to wisen them up and accept Christ as He did with me), but where do you draw the conclusion that all handicapped people are hated by God?
Your quote is also out of context (as usual).
Romans 9
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Yes, God does have control over us. And yes he made handicapped people that way for a reason.
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Now herein lies the problem with your Scripture twisting. You are trying to claim that what Paul is saying here implies that handicapped people are endured with longsuffering because God hates them.
But that would logically entail that anyone who suffers would mean that God hates them. Does that mean every person who gets cancer is hated by God? Everyone who ever gets in a car accident? Are you so bold to claim that you've led a perfect life with nary an incident of misfortune?
Besides, a careful look at the Scripture reveals that God does not hate these people (nor damn them). He does it to "show his wrath" and "make his power known". Nowhere does Paul say that those who suffer his wrath are going to be damned to Hell. Using my life's tragedy, indeed God did show me his wrath and made his power known. And look where it brought me? It made me Saved! I am now a Christian.
