Re: Please pray for Japanese nuclear reactors to meltdown

I would hope for the people of Japan to finally realize this is God's way of saying "here I am", and for them to know the one and only Lord and Savior.

Re: Please pray for Japanese nuclear reactors to meltdown

I thought that he spoke to people who actually wrote the words? not that he physically wrote them himself? I am not trying to be hateful in any way just trying to understand where you all are coming from and it just doesn't make sense in my mind.

I'm not surprised.

Let's try this again:

All-powerful God who created the universe.

BEING ALL-POWERFUL means God can easily change the words in a few books on one small planet in the vastness of His Creation to suit Him.

YES? Make sense now?

He has NOT changed the Bible, HAS HE?

Therefore, it says what He wants it to say, and we see Him in it as He wants to be seen.

Why?

Re: Please pray for Japanese nuclear reactors to meltdown

So, you think God is so weak and pathetic that He can't update a book?

He created the entire universe, but He can't adjust the text of His Word to be sure people today are understanding Him as He wishes to be understood, is that what you're saying?

You're an atheist, aren't you?


Because they were stupid enough to build their country on a major fault line?

Because God allowed it to happen for His reasons?

I thought that he spoke to people who actually wrote the words? not that he physically wrote them himself? I am not trying to be hateful in any way just trying to understand where you all are coming from and it just doesn't make sense in my mind. I believe in a higher power, good morals, and love. I do and think what i feel right about and do not wish harm on innocent people, that just doesn't seem right to me.
And I am pretty sure the people living there now, didn't build the country... I view "God" differently than you, and it's okay. We are entitled to our opinions and people with such closed minds are becoming fewer and fewer with each generation.

Re: Wow...

...and so far being on this forum I have had so many words trying to be thrown in my mouth it's rediculous... you can call me an "ageist bigot" all you want, but FACT is I didn't say that I hate all old people, lol...good try though. I love people of all ages, but cranky ones get on my nerves...just being honest

Ah, so you're just judgmental, and couldn't care less about why someone may be cranky. Perhaps he's in pain from rheumatoid arthritis and can barely walk or button his shirt from the grinding of his joints. Maybe he can only remember his name half the time, and is aware that he's sinking into senility. Maybe his children abandoned him in a nursing home. But you don't care. You hate all cranky old men.

Maybe you're not a bigot. Maybe you're just an uncaring monster.

Re: Wow...

There sure are, it's FULL of atheists. They hate God, and come to our Christian church forum because they're too cowardly to walk down the street to the neighborhood church and mock God in front of their neighbors.


How nice to know that you are an ageist bigot who despises the elderly. Do you beat them and steal from them, too?

Re: Please pray for Japanese nuclear reactors to meltdown

Hah. Sure. Satan killing people, and God being unable to prevent it?

That's ridiculous. Read the Bible, boy, and you'll see that even Satan can not kill without God's permission. The only people Satan kills in the Bible are Job's family and servants, and even that he can do only with God's explicit approval:

Job 1:8-19:
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.



What are you trying to say here?



Simple, friend:

Romans 3:23:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

Romans 6:23:
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

All people have sinned, and therefore deserve death. These Verses do not provide any exceptions to this rule.

Re: Wow...

You are very hateful, friend. Why is that? Are you possessed by demons?

Anyway, I'm still thankful you've said this, as the Bible teaches we are blessed by your hatred and persecution:

Matthew 5:10-12:
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Anyone wishing harm on another human being; whether they are of different ethnicity, or religion, truly does not understand the underlying principles of Christianity.

That is a ridiculous lie. Consider the way King David prayed for his enemies:

Psalm 109:4-21:
For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

If God didn't want us to rejoice over the destruction of evil people, why would He have included Psalm 109 (and many similar Psalms) in the Bible?

Jesus Christ never condemned anybody.

My friend, you are completely ignorant about the Bible. Jesus certainly condemned people:

Matthew 23:13-33:
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

If Jesus does it, so do we, as He is our Great Example.

You all must worship Satan or some other evil god. Cheers.

Are you saying that Jesus is Satan?

Re: Please pray for Japanese nuclear reactors to meltdown

So... I've been reading this thread til' I got to here. Well, you are a bigot because you apparently hate the Japanese and other races. I really wouldn't be talking. She apparently, judging from her other posts, isn't as racist as you are.

I don't hate the Japanese, and Japanese is not a race.

I pity them, as they have turned their backs on God and will spend eternity in Hell. Don't you?

Meanwhile, I can only assume you're another Serbian bigot who thinks Albanians are inferior.

This forum is filled with ignorant, hateful, uneducated, brainwashed, bigoted mother piffleers.

True! I've been asking Pastor Ezekiel to Insta-Ban all atheists, but he thinks we may be able to help some of them find Jesus. Hence all the ignorant, hateful, uneducated, brainwashed, bigoted atheists.

Anyone wishing harm on another human being; whether they are of different ethnicity, or religion, truly does not understand the underlying principles of Christianity.

So, when God commanded the extermination of apostates, He was just kidding? See Numbers 31.

Jesus Christ never condemned anybody.

Except every single person who doesn't follow Him. That includes nearly all Japanese. John 3:18.

Re: Please pray for Japanese nuclear reactors to meltdown

Judge thy neighbor? Sure...usually you are aware of who your neighbor is.

What are you trying to say here?

Children, men, women, people from other countries, races, and religions as well all suffered in this terrible storm...they all deserved this? why??

Re: Please pray for Japanese nuclear reactors to meltdown

Freddie,

We are the most open minded people in the world. Now explain to us how a 9.0 earth quake, 23 foot tall tsunami and a nuklear disaster is NOT consistent with the Acts of God's Unconditional Tough Love as described in The Bible. Sure, it may appear natural but that kind of pilling on of disaster upon disaster to kill masses of people over some obscure sin is how God rolls.

Do you people believe in the devil? maybe it was him and not God who decided to take thousands of innocent lives, you do not know these people therefore should not judge them in saying they deserve it.
