God's oily wrathMe and DS are wearing out wedding rings!
June 29, 2010 9:05 AM
The oil spill along the Gulf Coast has most of us wondering why something of this magnitude could happen. With so many people?s livelihoods as well as wildlife and sea life in peril, we just may be having a spiritual wake-up call!
Having recently studied the Old Testament, my understanding of God?s ways has become more clear. Each time God chastised the Israelites, it was principally because they were not teaching their children the commandments. Nor were they following them. In addition, they were worshipping false idols.
We can readily see how the money motive in our country has replaced the desire to serve God first above all else. Our young people are steeped in sexual sins and are contracting sexually transmitted diseases in epidemic proportions. Teen suicide is far greater than in any other country, as are abortions caused by both surgery and abortifacient contraceptives.
And where are the wedding rings these days?
Just perhaps the God of Genesis, Whose first command was to be fertile, multiply and fill the earth, and Whom even the winds obey ? perhaps His cup is full. Perhaps!
I?m told that military chaplains can no longer pray in Jesus? name with our troops, although they can still mention God.
May God help us and have mercy on us!

The lounge is fine if you must. Spare us the link though. No reason to reward this type of behavior, or draw it to us.

Deal, believe it or not I only found this because it was the top two AP stories locally when I looked at my app.

Prime example of "a little knowledge can be dangerous." Maybe one day she'll decide to read the rest of the Bible?

Sure, every time there's a natural disaster it's God's punishment for our evil deeds.
Lot's of evil deeds, lots of natural disasters.
It's a bummer how the innocent often get punished w/ the wicked though.
Usually, it's Pat Robertson telling us what we're being punished for: toleration of homosexuality, feminism, failing to support Israel, ...
It's good to see the "small people" like Barbara getting into the business of telling us just what God (might) be mad about.

You mean that 'later' part that comes after Jesus was sacrificed for the sins that came before, therefore ushering in a new religion called Christianity?
Certain religious conversations get me confused on the whole old/new timeline dealio.

Jewish comedian Louis Black does a rant on Christians 'using' the old testament to support judgment/fire/brimstone stances. Goes something like...
"Hey that OLD part is our Jewish part of the bible. Christians are supposed to stick to the NEW part".

I don't buy into the idea of a supernatural cause or a supernatural remedy for this disaster.

Not so much, DuneAhh, more along the lines of taking one book out of many, in the Bible, and using it as her basis for 'her truth' as it's applied to the oil spill. I like to read the whole story before I form an ill-informed opinion of my own. ;-)

P.S. If you watch the whole thing you'll find out that God is apparently a procrastinator and waited until the following day.

I wonder how long before people start seeing the face of Jesus in the BP oil slick?

You would have thought that the sinners would have learned their lesson after Katrina & seen clearly that God was angry with them for their wicked ways! But no! They kept being wicked & God had to cause the oil rig to explode, killing 11 workers & putting sinners out of work & spoiling the Gulf coast for humans & wildlife alike.
All Barbara is trying to say is that any misfortune in anyone's life is the result of God showing his displeasure w/ that person's morality.
We should all live more morally & then nothing bad would ever happen to any of us.
How hard could that be?

God'll get ya if ya don't watch out! Today it's an oil spill.....wonder what tomorrow will bring? Truth is: God's obviously a loving god, otherwise he'd have squashed us like the pesky bugs we are long ago!!!

And you wonder why South Walton can't agree on anything! It's seems to me, considering the catastrophic nature of the oil spill, one would be more inclined to want God's intervention! From what I can see, it will take a miracle!

Very true. After all, Christians would argue that Jesus was the most moral person to ever walk the earth, and nothing bad ever happened to him. Oh, wait. . . . never mind. ;-)
Christians, by definition, follow the Christ - Jesus - right? The guy who said, "I come to bring you a NEW covenant." Let's stick with the new stuff, okay? Really, it's much better.

No it will take the ability to drill horizontally with precision.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I never made any comments about drilling before. Don't have enough information to make any qualified comments about oil drilling. Although, I'm not sure it's even relevant now. When we'll recover from this I don't know.
