Subject: God Punished New Orleans with Katrina |
Bible Note: Val :: In my post 209308 on this thread I endeavored to make the point that questions on events such as the Katrina-New Orleans hurricane disaster tend to lead to speculation. And they invariably do. You admit in your post to Brad that what you wrote on the issue was your opinion. And opinion and speculation are at least close cousins if not identical twins. What makes this a Bible study forum is the study of the Bible. Dishing out opinions on any issue -- be it why hurricanes hurt and often kill people or why some dogs bite and others only bark -- is not Bible study. The central question, it seems to me, should not be "What is my opinion on thus and so?" but rather "What does the word of God teach on thus and so?" Opinions may be fun to read and even more fun to write, but they don't teach us very much, do they? --Hank |
