There is nothing to relish. If there is just one person going to eternal damnation is very sad. Especially when they had a chance to repent.
Originally posted by shavixmirI don't think you should be worrying about that. The bigger problem is as follows: Does God still care for us? So much harm going on on his favorite planet! What makes you think it is him who is behind everything? He couldn't do so much harm anyway for his ways are with love, not death. The most logical way to look at the current events is that either the Devil is behind everything, or God has forsaken these lands because we sin too much, or last (for the non-believers among us) there is no God at all, because this world is getting worse and worse and no God could ever wish this for his own children!
With all these storms battering the US, is this God's way of punishing the US for breaking the ten commandments on so many levels?
And if so, can we expect such storms to reach London anytime soon?

We do have a lawyer, JESUS CHRIST. Yes, GOD has said HE is going to destroy the World. HE also has said that it would be replaced.HE has promised that only believers will live there. Noah has been replaced by JESUS CHRIST, and a whole lot more than 8 will be saved.
Have you ever considered that god is punishing the bible belt for it's hatefullness and intollerance ?
I hope and pray you'll learn your lesson from this , and turn from your evil sin of pride before god roasts your nuts forever .

Yes, we are only here a few years. Yes, we are going to be punished for eternity for our sins. Have you ever tried to look at the whole picture. GOD created us to serve and worship HIM. GOD never said when HE created us. That we were to live for a few years. In fact the time limit was not placed on us until after we sinned.
Yes there has been some brain washing. Some of mankind has been convinced by satan, that we should disobey GOD, and GOD should allow us to disrespect HIM.
There are also those that believe that we should dictate to GOD how HE should treat us. Or that we should advise HIM on what is best for us. GOD sent JESUS CHRIST to give us rebirth. Would that count as reincarnation?
Originally posted by Moldy CrowNo, I am saying that the whole WORD OF GOD, is true. GOD has promised that HE is going to punish all of mankind for their sins. HE will do so.

I think the question that bbar is really trying to ask is: "Do you ever get tired of being a humorless, self righteous, sanctimonious git?" It's quite apparent that you're a total philistine and the poster child for witless, closed minded, ignorance.
