| Is God cursing the US? Posted: 12/13/2005 7:27:48 AM | I'm trying to figure out how Abe Lincoln jumped into this thread....is he with God dumping water on the South?
Is he still mad about the Civil War....or maybe that John Wilkes Booth was a southerner. | |

| Is God cursing the US? Posted: 12/13/2005 7:35:47 AM | John W Booth is in Hell, being shot every 5 minutes. Abe is playing with his brothers putting footprints on the ceiling. War's over. Jesus is on the coutdown to his birthday! All is well and as it should be.
and a Happy Yule / Holidays / Christmas to all | |

| Is God cursing the US? NO GOD IS NOT CURSING US! Posted: 12/15/2005 10:38:02 PM | Sweettreat, Great post. Give it up though you are wasting your breath and energy. I Really do have a problem with Religious DOGMA! We do have an all loving God and it is not God punishing us. I will never fear my God,EVER. I have had Near Death experience and know there is no death and yes there is (the other side), or heaven what ever you want to call it.I have had many psychic and spiritual experiences which have lead me into being a paranormal investigator, so I have some first hand knowledge on the real deal.I continue to expand my awarness every day.
We are here to perfect our souls! What we don't get right in this life we choose to come back in another life to face those challenges again. God Loves us all no matter what!Yes be the best person you can be in life, extend love,knowledge and kindness. God does not expect us to live word for word by a book MAN wrote.Are minds are powerful tools and a lot of time WE manifest our worst fears and then blame it on God.Quantum Physics anyone?God expects us to go within our selves! This is where the universe lies within us and all the answers we are seeking. WE all are a part Of God and God Is a part of us.
I wish instead of believeing everything you hear or read people would start expanding their own consciousness and try to have their own first hand experiences,Not just blind faith.The world and universe are not meant to be a mystery! God sent us here with gifts.We are not meant to be blind sheep lead around by the nose.
This is why I am very SPIRITUAL and not religious. I try not to get mad over ignorance but it is so hard after the things I have experienced FIRST HAND! Some of us it takes many life times to learn the truth.
I am not going to post again, But I wish you all the best. I pray for those stuck in ignorance that choose not to venture out on their own to grow spiritually.God Bless you all. | |

| Is God cursing the US? NO GOD IS NOT CURSING US! Posted: 12/15/2005 11:12:40 PM | Remember, God commands us to not only preach the gospel but also "to content for the faith" (Jude 3) For though we live in this world we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) Bible prophecy is one of the key reasons I believe in God and Jesus Christ as the messiah. It’s one of the proofs that sealed it for me. Dan 9:24-27 is one of the most profound prophesies and it’s accuracy is inexplicable. When one reads it and understand it you can’t fail to be amazed.
And Daniel's prohesies extend right up to our time. The book of revelation is a combination of Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel and a number of the other prophetic prophets.
God bless you

| Is God cursing the US? Oh yeah he is but you let it happen Posted: 12/16/2005 12:33:27 AM | Ah.., well God is cretainly attempting to rattle people's cages sort of speak In the midst of everything that we are seeing, there persists a great and serious problem in that people are consistently believing a dangerous lie that is being preached from pulpits and governmental lecterns and podiums everywhere. The big lie is that the many earthquakes, the tsunamis, hurricanes, and other such disasters are not from Almighty God. Anyone who believes that is ignoring the majority of the Bible. Here let it be noted that there are only two ways by which you can know Almighty God. You can know Him by the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ, or you can know Him by His judgments and great wrath. All will soon know Him one way or the other, for every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. For some it will be too late.

(Mat 8:26 KJV) And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
(Psa 148:7 KJV) Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word: | |

Is'nt this like me kicking the dog for doing a mess on the carpet last week?? He would not put the two together..Unless he knew he had done something wrong?? | |

I think that goes without saying...what if my thoughts are those of a Hitler?? | |

If there was thre nickels on the table and I took them you would ask me if I had then. iF I say no I don't that would be liying, HENCE not truth.

| Is God cursing the US? Oh yeah he is but you let it happen Posted: 12/16/2005 12:59:32 AM | Just so you all know, I'm not reading all 8 pages of this thread. Sorry if I say things that have already been covered, but it is a failry old thread and I doubt much has been said in it.
As for God punishing the US: That, I think, is a fairly generalist statement. After all, the US is made up of so many different people with different thoughts and beliefs for God to punish all of the US, he'd have to punish those he felt were good and those he felt were evil all at the same time. | |

| Is God cursing the US? Oh yeah he is but you let it happen Posted: 12/16/2005 1:06:01 AM | Lord Dave Actually Miss music came in once and made a from of a statement I was actually looking for and that is it is the people and their actual will that has allowed this tohappen. Of course it would happen in such a sinful city. there is more and yes God gave grace through it also simply cuz the oil refineries do still stand and the USS economy suffers only right now. But if God had no grace I can say He wouldof probably wrote off the nation. Just keep in mind here that the US forcedout those in the Gaza strip when this storm was created.
Ent
I was relating to the quoted texts if the truth comes from the truth of all knowing then I can say yes that is truth. for example..
In the Bible, truth refers to what is dependable, tested and trustworthy. It is firm and never changes. This contrasts with some Greek philosophies, were truth is an idea or principal that exists apart from the physical world that gets old and decays. Truth in the Bible is based on God's unchanging purpose for the world and all the people God created. The proper response to truth of God, therefore trust in his promises.
Trust is the basis for the special relationship between God and people through out human history. Abraham trusted God's promises (Gen 15.6) Jacob gave thanks for the outgoing love and faithfulness that God showed him in spite of his disobedience (Gen 32.9-12). Moses praised God on Mount Sinai because God's love was continuing through each generation of his people (Exod 34.6-7). God is always faithful, and God's promises and plans are true and trustworthy (Deut 32.3-4). Just as plants always grow and the sun and stars always shine, so God's love and promises are forever dependable (Ps 85.10-11).

Wait what? The US wasn't in the Gaza strip. That was solely between israel and palastine which, I might add, is resulting in peace.
Temporary peace at best. You have to understand and believe that the Arabs have no intention of giving up the fight until the Jews are driven into the sea. That was Yassar Arafats aim and those of all Muslims..Jersusalem is the house of Islam as far as they are concerned. | |

| Is God cursing the US? Oh yeah He is but you let it happen Posted: 12/16/2005 1:35:29 AM | Oh did I hear wrong...not too likely but I will have to double check...NOPE
Immediately following our forcing Israel to move thousands out of the Gaza Strip making them homeless so we could have cheaper gas, God sent five hurricanes and numerous tornados on the US to punish us. Katrina tore through Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama killing almost a thousand and making over one million homeless while driving up the prices for gasoline and home heating fuels. He next assaulted us with a hurricane that tore up the East coast causing considerable flooding, damage, and making many more homeless. Then God sent us hurricane Rita which tore through Texas and Louisiana making over one million more homeless and driving energy prices up more. He sent another hurricane up the East Coast causing even more flooding and damage. Then He sent the fifth hurricane through Florida and up the East coast causing even more flooding damage. Finally, God sent a very powerful tornado completely out of season and at night to devastate a large area. http://hauns.com/~DCQu4E5g/punishment2.html
