Jazzy, I may not understand u mean even got punish for not getting wrong. If u meant bad things happen, not always mean u got punish. You remember the story of Job, even He obeyed God, He lost all his riches and even all of his livestocks and children were killed by tornado? ( which mean whirlwind in the old days) what happen to the end? Same, as in Book of Romans, said" as basic language, when bad things happen, everything will work out for good for those who love God. You remember the life of Joseph what all his brother did to him, till the end, even evil that has done to him, meant for good. Tho we may fail along the way, don't give up, He's still with you, you may fail, but does not mean you are a failure. Smile

My story happened in my youth days, I got punished for someting others did. Maybe I see it a lesson that I won't do that to others who don't deserve to be punish for something they did not do. but when I read this and remind me of those people who suffer in NO and Miss, they don't desrve to be punish for this kind. Maybe lessons for us all to learn from this but this preacher should not say this about evil doers in NO caused by hurricane or in LV because of gambling )awful sins there), etc.. We all have natural diasters as part of life. They happen to live near water and I happen to live near world longest fault (take gamble to live near fault line and knew it can happen to me any time). Job's story keep me remind myself how lucky I am compare to him. God truly blessed him for his not giving up.

TRue, we all have to fall down many time to climb back up. But sometime it is hard when person u love is in so much pain, it sometimes hard to live with peace of mind and knowing others suffer greatly than I am. Not fair for them.

The history will repeat itself as it will happen to all over the world. Nothin' new, really.

N.O. reminds me of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Heath, you started the thread and you asked for it.

"I am not so stuck up all the time. I was listening to the Bible preacher and he was talking about how N.O. was getting ready to celebrate Mardi Gras , they had the license permit for the parade, police put orange road blocks up I mean the whole nine yards for a parade and a street festival. "

That preacher is an idiot, pure and simple.

"I am thinking maybe tornadoes or violent dust storms so bad that it hurts will hit Las Vegas, That would be a more likely scenario."

Um... just let me make it clear: the gay community is highly concentrated in the French Quarter yet the area is hardly damaged by Hurricane Katrina. In fact, some businesses were opened the day after the hurricane was done. That must mean that God loves gays more than Christians since more Christian homes were devastated. Right? Oh wait, God must hate blacks too since many blacks lost their homes as well. Right?

"All I got to say is if you read the KJV Holy Bible. It could save your life. Look at the aumont of sexual diseases out there that multiply the death rate or leave people injured for life and they can't have sex anymore. There is a good reason God said alots about sex throughout the KJV Holy Bible. The Book of Leviticus, Look what happened to a great and a mighty leader King David he commited adultery with a woman that was not his wife then there are so many more found throughout both the Old Testament and the New Testament. "

Once again, you're ignorant on the Old Testament. King David had sex with over a hundred of women (both wives and prostitutes) and God wasn't upset. What upset God was that he was having an affair with a MARRIED woman that wasn't his wife. Comprehend?

STD itself tells you absolutely NOTHING about the person's morals or ethics at all. I have a fundamentalist Christian friend who got a STD and she was a virgin and her only sexual partner was her ex-husband. There are some sluts who slept with countless people and never got a STD.

Oh wait, God must really hate blacks since most AIDS victims are black... yeah, that's it. Perfect excuse for hating blacks... yeah!

That's why I have to be very careful about some preachers. I remember the article, when a person asked Billy Graham about the severe flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and stuff is God's punishments? Billy said, no, God is in control the weather, its by nature, not punishments. About King David, God said that being a king, must have one wife. But David has many, it did violate God establishment, yeah, God was nt please what David did plus conspiracy. Remember since David had many wives, but he did suffer consequences, seeing lot of children had done, like raped, killings and stuff. The reason God using David, bec his devote his life to Living God. There are many other sins he committed. , from time to time, David confesses, bec his love for God. Yes, I don't approve fie and brimstone kind of preachers. But full message, not one side over the other. Hehehehehe I don't ever believe, whatever happen with people, by saying God punish this and that. Or they sin, I don't. Mine little sin theirs big sins, I don't approve of that, that's not of Christ.

Who says God wasn't "upset" with David? God never approved of or blessed polygamy or infidelity. Just because God didn't "zap" David immediately when he committed adultery doesn't mean God approved. David's family suffered greatly from his infidelities, and the consequences touched his children and their families.

STD itself tells you absolutely NOTHING about the person's morals or ethics at all. I have a fundamentalist Christian friend who got a STD and she was a virgin and her only sexual partner was her ex-husband. There are some sluts who slept with countless people and never got a STD.

I'm NOT saying the getting an STD proves or disproves anyone's righteousness. But I just want to point out that obviously the ex-husband committed the sin of fornication or adultery, and that's how he caught the disease, and then spread it to his wife. She was an innocent victim of his sin.

We get your point Heath - we just don't agree with it. You want to believe in a God who magically swoops down and kill innocents, you go right ahead.

I never said God kills innocents. Where did you get that idea ? That is fine if you don't agree with me

Actually, you're wrong about one part in what you said above (..prostitutes). Really not, they weren't prostitutes but were concubines.
