So the people who lost their lives and property didn't honor God?
So your god's way of showing himself is leaving a prayer closet standing while the whole property is utterly destroyed?

LMAO. Religion is foolishness.
As in, it's an epitome of foolishness and idiocy. Just see them jubilating all over the thread like the news is going to make better their lives. Pathetic lots

My elder sister's shop got burnt down. Only the Bible was left untouched.


God is awesome

Well, I hope that bible is gold-plated and worth millions of dollars. Otherwise it would have been better if only the bible got burnt and the shop saved because she can easily get another Bible with proceeds from the shop instead of starting all over again because of a burnt shop.

Why don't you wait for the God to come and speak up for himself?

Why must you defend him or her?

I hope he or she is not so powerless that he will need a common fellow like you to become his or her spokesman?

It has to do with it because it is the same sentiment in both cases. You are saying no matter how nasty your supposed god acts, it remains a focal point to your life. Meaning you will give no thought to the significance of the supposed actions of a god that behaves like a teenage brat.


There are principles and application of knowledge to everything in this world. Science is one and belief is another. I’m a realist to an extent and not very sentimental bt u will have to read and understand the Bible to sm extent to see my views. Just like u study science and understand its value and application. Insulting Smtn cos u don’t understand it doesn’t Change it or make u better in anyway. I rather u try to learn and understand 1st then bring ur valid arguments. Just like we do scientifically same spiritually.

The world we live in isn’t a perfect place bt u can acquire knowledge, skills and belief to make it a better place for not only u bt others. That’s what I believe in.

Since You used 'their God'.. Why couldn't 'your God' save the others.. or if you've got no God, why couldn't you the God save the others..

I already knew thats one of the lines all you imps gonna use, so I ain't suprise..

or if You are not pleased they survived, why not go kill them yourself.

If death only came to those that deserved it, would you still be In existence.

'God Is Awesome!' Tornado Destroys House, but Prayer Closet Still Standing
03-26-2019

The deadly, monster EF-4 tornado that recently tore through Lee County, Alabama, devoured nearly everything in its path. But one Christian family miraculously survived – huddled inside a prayer closet that was literally the only thing left standing from their house.

That massive twister killed 23 people, including four children. But amazing testimonies are still emerging in the aftermath.

Catastrophic events like this can be devastating and hard to come to grips with, but one eyewitness says this proves God's power to protect.

Jason Smith serves as a chaplain with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, and he went to the tornado zone to minister to survivors. But what he spotted there ministered to him – a piece of slab left from a home that had been demolished by the storm, according to 11 Alive.

Smith was surprised by what he found there, so he went public with the story to offer some inspiration. And the images he shared from that house have gone viral.

"Listen to me please. I just left a family who survived the tornado in this house and the only left standing is this closet," Smith wrote in the viral Facebook post.

Sitting upright on the thick, flat piece of concrete were the frames to what appeared to be a closet.

"It's the grandmother's prayer closet, and the whole family survived."

Smith, while in total shock, also knew that there could only be one reason behind the family surviving a deadly tornado that day.

"My God is awesome!!! Shout somebody!" he said.

This isn't the only astounding story to emerge from a recent tornado. As CBN News has reported, 40 kids were miraculously shielded as they sang "Jesus Loves Me," even though a tornado in Kentucky ripped off the roof from the church where they were sheltering.

You talking bout honor, how do you define honour.... If we were to be judged by how we honour God, we would all be dead.. and besides, would you prefer your family to all die in a house disaster, yet the house miraculously ends up being intact.. l ain't care how You see things but life itself is a challenge, living is overcoming

And since you mentioned religion. Yes alot of people are religion worshippers , who end up loosing touch with God himself..

Shut the Bleep up and direct that your question about honor to the person I quoted. It seems u guys leave the point of argument and concentrate on throwing out words for the sake of it.

Also direct that senseless question I highlighted to the guys on this thread who were joyous about a prayer closet standing while devastation exists all around. People were injured and properties were lost. Some people probably died. But praise Jesus the prayer closet of our grandma stands sure. Or u want to claim u didn't see them rejoicing?

Birds of a feather of senselessness flocked together. Lol.

Omudia11:
Yes we will praise our God in every situation. If you don't like it, jump into the nearest ocean.

Who told you God saved only one family? Are your family members not alive? Are there not seven billion people who are alive in the world right now? Who do you think saves all of them? Even you with your loud mouth, do you know how God saves you everyday in ways you don't know? Do you know how many car accidents and plane crashes God averts everyday?

Four Thursdays ago, I nearly lost my dad in my arms. Yes, and even two doctors told us that it was a miracle for him to have survived. Two doctors. My dad gained consiousness at the hospital at 3am wondering how he got there. It's the same God that saved my Dad from the kidnappers den in 2013. I don't even want to go too far.

Do you know what will become of all of us if God were to take away his grace from this world? If you know what God does for us on a daily basis despite our shortcomings you will shut up and be humble.

I was christian for donkey years and read the bible from cover to cover. Any supposed spiritual meaning from the bible is the subjective one you give to it, there is no entity anywhere giving an objective meaning. This is why so many christian sects and denominations exist because any Tom, Harry and their followers can make any claim based on their own interpretation of the bible's words.

God is God no there is no controversy, He lifts one up and sets the other down.. He is a God of purpose and does not need u nor I to defend His actions. .. Who told us that death is the end of us? Or that this life of earth n mud is better than the glorious life with God, He has said that not a thing will (can) happen to even a strand of hair on our head if he does not permit it...... I say again God is a God of purpose, You question Him only when you don't have anything doing (waste of your time) I have a lot I would like to share but .........

If only you knew the worth of the bible... besides, you can buy as many bible as you want, If you don't know its worth, then you can never grow...

the bible is a sign of hope, yes the shop was destroyed, but the bible there depicted hope. The Bible there signified that, despite she was hit by a disaster, there is still hope for greater achievement, and that is never her end. Now I don't expect you to agree, but thats what keeps most people going in the era of challenges . It discipline them mentally, psychologically, and physically, it changes the way they react to life challenges . One way or the other, the world is filled with challenges, it takes hope and grace to keep us going.

Your question should have been 'why should there be disasters and challenges in the first place'

And all u read and studied in the Bible didn’t help u in life? It didn’t make u a better person? It didn’t guide ur path? Look even if there was no God the principles from the Bible have been beneficial to me from my youth, yes there were mistakes along the way and misinterpretation bt it has helped me immensely that I cannot not think of an alternative lifestyle that wud make me a better man. I read other books also that make sense aslong as the are positive, logical and practical.

Part of the problem with Christians today is the Bible Is just a spiritual book to them bt It’s also a very practical book depending on how u read it and understand. Most pastors only focus on what suits their agendas and leave out many other insights especially practical ones to facing life bt am are well rounded and open to arguments and analyzing other opinions

The scriptures teaches many things beyond spiritual stuffs and if nothing at all u can learn from its teaching on life, character, love, money, work and many other subjects.

I studied sciences and at sm point in my life I have questions everything in the Bible and existence of God to the point of disbelief because people just do follow follow they don’t understand a thing and that’s smtn im not comfortable with naturally so I rebel until i analyze things from the scratch myself and see logic or reason or smtn bigger than that.

There are no principles the bible teaches that you can't get from else where and there are those that teach these principles to great effect without the need to believe in a god.

I too have analysed everything from the scratch and it is my conclusion that there is no sufficient reason to believe a god exists neither is there evidence that the book called the bible is a result of some kind of divine inspiration.
