The fact that the character of God doesn't change is what necessitated Christ's work. Even Jesus was clear about the consequences of an immoral lifestyle. I'm no saying that God smote New Orleans in a Sodom and Gomorrah type manner, but I'm not saying that he didn't either. Someone made an interesting point to me the other day. Thailand and Indonesia were the two nations that were hit the hardest by the Tsunami. Thailand is the international center of child pornography and prostitution. Indonesia is a stronghold of radical Islam. What conclusions can we draw from that?Nathan Hackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16184503228875121306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12111532.post-1126272402721549632005-09-09T09:26:00.000-04:002005-09-09T09:26:00.000-04:00In most instances in the OT, God uses other nation...In most instances in the OT, God uses other nations to punish wicked Israel. So a point could be made that God only destroys nations and such when in regards to his Chosen. But in chapter 13 of Isaiah we see something interesting. God creates a powerhouse out of the combined might of the Medes and Persians lead by Cyrus. Isaiah predicts the city's destruction 200 years before the event. <BR/><BR/>Granted this was accomplished so that Cyrus could then read the Judean prophecies about himself and then in order to fulfill them releases the Isrealites but it still shows God's manipulation of nations.<BR/><BR/>Look atthe many wars Israel has been in since their creation after WWII. They crushed their neighbors and expanded their borders all they to Egypt. God still rules this world and it's nations.<BR/> I<BR/>Man is punished in the afterlife, nations are punished in the here and now.Proteinstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544385744156461542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12111532.post-1126225150133113442005-09-08T20:19:00.000-04:002005-09-08T20:19:00.000-04:00I just read in Time magazine that 3 of LA's state ...I just read in Time magazine that 3 of LA's state emergency planning people where under indictment for misuse of funds that where supposed to be for preparing the region for natural and manmade disaster. Yup, when this whole crap storm clears the Fed's are going to point their finger to a majorly corrupt state and city government that ruined their city.Proteinstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544385744156461542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12111532.post-1126222427633755352005-09-08T19:33:00.000-04:002005-09-08T19:33:00.000-04:00I wouldn't hold my breath on that "Liberal Utopia"...I wouldn't hold my breath on that "Liberal Utopia" forming out of the ashes anytime soon. New Orleans has been run by liberal government officials for the last 50-60 years, and they weren't able to create a utopia. Scratch that, they did create the "Liberal Utopia" a city with no accountability, no moral base, and drugs and free sex for all. What they created was a travesty of modernity. You previously commented on another blog that New Orleans may have incurred the wrath of God. Another blogger found this assertion ridiculous. I ask, what is so ridiculous about it? Sean Penn may have been on to something when he headed down to New Orleans, that town's already trashed. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Hollywood these days either.Nathan Hackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16184503228875121306noreply@blogger.com
