Joshthefirst: good. This settles it then?

So you belong to the synagogue of Satan?

Joshthefirst: sorry sir. But I got to think about this before and I was surprised too. From a book claimed to be written by God, I would expect tides of goody goody and good good stuff. But the bible is the contrary. It tells the true story that pricks mens hearts. It tells history undiluted. It speaks of suffering and death and sin and the judgement of sin and mankinds perversions. It tells of God coming to judge. But it also speaks of a saviour, of Gods plan to remedy it all through the ages, and of Gods promise of a new world to the faithful people who continue in righteousness and in christ jesus.

May mankind repent from sin.

like that of jonah and the fish.

we learn a great lesson from jonah and the ninevites.

The ninevites were ungodly and wallowing in sin and wickedness. God was ready to judge. But he sent jonah to preach. When jonah preached, the people repented and God forgave.

God is able to forgive all who trust in him and repent of their sins. Repent now and stop looking for excuses to wallow in sin.

I learnt a great lesson from the fish swallowing jonah and vomiting him after three days.

And I just learnt a great lesson from you today. Its unadulterated history.

plaetton:

Another week and another tragedy in the world.
Over10,000 killed in the worst recorded storm in recent history.

Again, this is precisely the kind of disaster that only a supernatural intervention could have prevented or saved people from.

Is is protection from this kind of disaster that religion and faith are made for and rests upon.
It is against this type of "Act Of God" phenomena that megatons of prayer power are generated every day by millions of faithful.

So what happened?
Where was the love of god?
Where was god's protection?
All those payments of tithe (aka protection money) against the devourer, what happened? Direlection of duty?

Is this disaster another proof that there's no sugar daddy, sorry I mean sky daddy, in the air, listening to the prayers of ignorant mankind?

Or, as we are likely to hear soon, did sky daddy have a greater purpose for causing or preventing this disaster from happening?

One of my Christian friends has already delivered judgment that Phillipinos are all witches. She uttered this nonsense while I was dropping her off at her church. No compassion whatsoever.
I just shook my head in disgust.

Christians, are you questioning God right now, holding him accountable for all the confidence and faith reposed in him?
Or, are you too busy now trying to make good excuses for god's glaring failure to protect the people of the Philippines?

Philippinos are an extremely religious people. If god could not save them, do not hope he can save you from anything, not matter how much bribe money you pay to your pastor.

"Ten thousand dead in the Philippines is proof that there's no God!" says the skeptic. No. Rather, the terrible tragedy is proof that the "Fall" of Genesis is true. Every day more than 150,000 people die, and every single death substantiates the truth of the Scriptures--that man is in rebellion to God.

Someone recently said that he and his wife watched a movie that made no sense. It was only when it ended that they discovered they had only watched the second disc. They missed the entire first half of the movie, and so it suddenly made sense as to why the movie made no sense.

Disregard "In the beginning," and nothing in this life will make sense. Ignore "Let there be light" and you will be left in the darkness about your origins and the reality of suffering and death.

Either God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn’t care to, or he doesn’t exist. God is either impotent, evil or imaginary. Take your pick, and choose wisely.

10,000 people, at least 85% Christian die in a storm and it's god's judgment?.

I guess it doesn't pay to be Christian after all, huh?

Matthew 7:21-23 King James Version (KJV)

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Dear op... If you don't repent and give your life to GOD, you yourself will experience more punishment than that of these victims.

And then what is the point of accepting jesus if at the end, you are swept away by storm like everyone else.
I might as well play lottery and cast my lot with ancestral gods, or even Hindu gods, or even allah.

Christian god takes 10% of my income and bails out when it's time to perform his obligations.
Sounds like Nigerian insurance companies.

holypower: Dear op... If you don't repent and give your life to GOD, you yourself will experience more punishment than that of these victims.

Zombie,
Why don't you trade your life and the lives of your family for the fate of those deceased.
Why don't you do it now?
That would be the ultimate Christ-like sacrifice.
Would it not?

One day, Your god will surely also punish you with horrible death.

Who says "tithe" is a prerequisite for "righteousness" ? Only new generation Churches do that.... I'm not a Church goer BTW! It's no gambling; the King of Kings knows his sheep and his sheep knows him!

John 10:14 King James Version (KJV)

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.<<<<<<<He knows when you LOVE and trust in him that delusion and disbelief would never come nigh thee

Joshthefirst: I only repeat the same answers because you repeat the same questions.

For the benefit of honestly interested fellows, I'll post scriptures and an answer.

Jesus gave a historical account of these things. He said they're signs the world is coming to an end(signs that'll usher in the end of the age)

Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

This shows one of the realities of the divinity of the God given scriptures. Scriptures are coming to pass. Many have come to pass. Many are happening before our very eyes.

Sin has ravaged this world. And judgement is coming. A revival is about to happen, the gospel is being preached with vigour. These things should not make men doubt God, but should all the more drive men to his refuge and strength. This world is not our own, we look forward to a new heaven and earth where righteousness reigns.

When we preach repent we do not joke. 10,000 people have died. Who knows when you'll die? When we die, we stand before almighty God. Look at the prophecies of judgements upon earth in revelation because of mans sin. This massive disasters are just a sign of what is to come. At a point, the bible says in revelation that although men saw judgement as divine, they refused to repent of their sins and continued to attract more of Gods wrath.

What has happened is just the beginning. Are you insured against the wrath to come? Do you feel remorse for sins you've committed? Or do you rebel all the more and continue in sin?

Now more than ever, the message is required for those who will listen. Would you use this as an excuse to ignore God and prove unrepentant?
Do you continue stealing and adultering and hating and lying and continue in greed and continue to enjoy sin thinking there will be no repercussions? You caress and lust and curse God?

repent. Repent! The kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus meant every word he said. He's coming to judge the living and the dead

Let this happenings not move you to curse God, let them sober you up to the prophesies of Gods word. This world must be judged, let us escape together to a new one in the boat of christ Jesus. People die because of sin. Repent and embrace christ for the washing away of sin and for citizenship of the new world to come.

I do not wish to argue. This is for the benefit of those who honestly want real answers.

Trust in Christ and be saved from the wrath to come. This is not just about fear. Its about you responding to the love and mercy of God.

Stop talking nonsense. . .Natural disasters have been a part of this planet since inception. . .We now get to hear about natural disasters that happen all over the world because of technology. . .During the time of Jesus christ such news would not have been heard at all all over the world. . .If you know anything about the planet you will know that natural disasters are an integral part of the planet and have been in occurrence since inception .

You brood of vipers are so insensitive to other people's predicament, I hope you or your family never experience such. Hypocrites

epic case of denying reason so your godlessness would be justified. I didn't say the earthquakes are judgement btw. I said they are a sign.
Its because of the bolded that satan has used peoples ignorance to pull them away from the faith.
