1 | Opinions of J. Falwell on WTC attack. | Rom 3:23 | glory777 | 16856 | ||
onnig- First, I believe that God is soveriegn, there is nothing that happens that He is not in control of. I believe everything that happens has a purpose and will eventually bring God glory, maybe not in our day, but someday. God knew what was going to happen and He is going to do something out of this. I do believe God lifted His hand of protection from us and look what happened. However, look at what the result of that is. People praying like never before. People are turning back to God and are not ashamed of speaking His Name. This nation reminds me so much of the OT Jews. They would turn away from God and serve other gods and even give their children to the fire in serving them (kind of remind you of dern day abortion, doesn't it?) but God would continue to call them back. Sometimes it would take catasrophe to get their attention. Yes, the terrorists were the cause of the tragedy, but had we stayed a God-fearing nation would it have ever happened? Who knows. Debbie |

2 | Opinions of J. Falwell on WTC attack. | Rom 3:23 | Hank | 16907 | ||
"Has God removed His hedge around America to protect it as He did to His people of olden times?" is, I believe, the thrust of Jerry Falwell's message. The timing may have been less than ideal; the naming of names may have been inappropriate at such a time and on such a medium; the secular press may have been less than fair in their reporting of the incident.... But the question is a valid one nevertheless. Has God indeed removed His hedge from America in the wake of our wide-spead national apostasy that has resulted in our turning away from Him? We cannot really expect the secular world to understand the concept of God's protective hedge -- nor to care. They see and they understand nothing but human cause and effect. We who believe in our sovereign God allow for causes and effects that superintend the natural and the human. Thus I would never presume that, in any and all given events, the Sovereign Lord has no hand whatever. --Hank | ||||||
