Subject: Opinions of J. Falwell on WTC attack. |
Bible Note: 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 |
