Onnig- You are right that all sin, and that all sin is horrendous in the eyes of God. But if we also care about the fact that we sin and acknowledge that it is wrong and ask the Lord's help in not sinning, we are acknowledging that there is a God whom we love and respect. That is a far cry from where the country has come in the last years. Those who died were no greater sinners than any of us, I agree. And as far as who is deserving of death? Is anyone so "good" that they aren't? As far as II Chronocles 7:14 goes, through believing, I am a son (or daughter) of Abraham. The promises made to him are also made to me, and the advice given to him I am to learn from, also. Or are we to throw the OT out and say it is inapplicable and not meant for us? I still say, we have come from a nation who had it's faith in God, to a nation that honors man above all and whatever satisfies man is OK. Prayer in school is honoring God and we can't do that. Abortion denies that God is the creator. The 10 commandments, although written for the Hebrews, are a good guideline given from God, but we can't post them. Hugging trees is ok and having an "alternate lifestyle" is to be promoted. This is a far cry from the way I was taught when I went to school. But we have become a nation so full of ourselves that at no time will we attribute anything bad that happens as something God would allow. If it was something good, howerver, we would be the first to accept it as being from god because we deserve it. We won't humble ourselves to anyone. Those poor people just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, just as it could have been you or me. But we are left, so we are called to arms to pray and spread the gospel and be about the Lord's business instead of our own. Debbie |

Debbie, You are right as well, we are children of Abraham as Paul mentioned, Gal 3:7 "Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham" and Rom 4:16 "For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, " So I agree with you that we are "sons" meaning sons and daughters of Abraham by faith because that's what it says, "by faith". There is a difference here, if you note in Romans 4:16, the passage "not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith " makes a clear distinction that there is a difference of the two. This is where you have to go to Revelation and see that the promise of God to the people of Judah are kept with the 144,000. There is a lot of theology behind this so it is important to understand end times and past promises of God to the Jewish people. With this distinction, II Chronicles 7:14 speaks to the people of the Law as Romans 4:16 distinguishes. Why are we trying to make the world a better place when the Lord is going to destroy it eventually? Of course we need to preserve some sort of decency and morality which without a nation cannot stand but eventually and inevitably, the whole world will fall. We must keep an eternal prespective, stop pointing blame and preach the gospel. If they reject you, shake the dust off your feet and go on to the next person. Onnig |

You are so right. But if we know that the world is going to be destroyed anyway, why do anything? I think the bible says somewhere about "pray for peace in Jerusalem". Why should we follow that when we also know that the only time there will be peace is when the antichrist signs the treaty for peace, which he will eventually break himself. When I heard about the terrorists' action, all I could think was "God have mercy, God forgive us." I do believe the US will turn back to Him, just as the Ninevites repented after Jonah preached to them. But I bet there were Ninevites who said, "The man was a fool. God never was going to do anything anyway". | ||||||
