Bible Note: You said: "Perhaps they are exactly what God wants for a nation that has so much yet is so spiritually dead." Perhaps not. Those who believe in predestination have a similar problem -always trying to find the "silver lining" in a plane crash, tornado, etc. If it's God's will there must be beauty and wisdom in this? You also said: "You do a lot of speaking for God and deciding what is right and what is wrong and that troubles me." Paul said: "But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." It troubles me when professed Christians can't decide right from wrong. How can we expect others to look to Christ as a better choice? |
