End Time Prophecies
Wanda:
Yes, of course God is in total control, and nothing happens unless it's his will. What I take issue with is the reason given for those poor people who died in that tornado. Are we to believe that God killed those people over a land dispute in the Middle East?
They died and it is without question it was God's will, but nothing in scripture, as far as I can understand, supports they died because God was moved to wrath over that land. If that's the case, why didn't he bring his wrath upon the ones in power, who are in opposition to his will over the land?

There are approximately 50 Million people die every year from various "circumstances". All of the times for their deaths have been pre-determined. Just about a week ago a very good friend of my wife's just died from a long illness. She was one for the kindest people that you could imagine. How can we fathom the deaths of all these people? It happens and if God did not want little babies to die even full term unborn ones or people of all ages in all sorts of circumstances then it would NEVER happen. But in these physically constructed bodies - it is a fact and reality. The resurrection to a spiritual existence is the only solution - and then we will get the real reasons why there is such a system as we have now. For those who believe in Adam and Eve with the idyllic environment in the garden - if these conditions had of continued, things like war, disease and even death might not exist today - it seems so. If that is part of the answer along with many more, God will provide this at some point in time. But because human and animal deaths alike are so common all this is certainly no surprise to God. And my personal speculations as to the why of all this, would fall miserably short for the real reasons this happens.

Another email answer from Ray on the web page about sinning.
We actually do commit the sins that we commit. Wether we could have done it otherwise
is immaterial in as much as committing the sin makes us sinners.
Think of sin as dirt. It matters not how we got dirty. God is going to give
EVERYONE A BATH LIKE IT OR NOT.
God is God and He will do as He pleases. And God pleases to put us through
an experience of sin and death before He glorifies us with all the powers of the
universe.
Gen.6:5 and 17,,, from the LOF ORIGIN OF ENDLESS PUNISHMENT
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
And Behold, I even I do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy
all flesh, wherein is the breath of life from under heaven and everything
that is in the earth shall DIE( caps Rays)
Quote from Ray,,,,, “It apparently took a hundred years to build the ark and so for a hundred
years Noah warned the world that God would kill them for their gross sins.”
Well , everything looks pretty gross out there .
Ray” God is going to show us how good the good are by contrasting them
With how bad the bad are. We are being changed now from our sinful ways
as we learn to KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD,,,,,,,LOF XV1 part D 4
God has a plan and He let a few of His foolish children take a glance , let’s Glorify and Thank Our
Lord and Majesty on High as our salvation is nearer. Each moment is so precious.
Job 19:25
For I know that my Redeemer lives and at the last He will stand upon the earth.

Wanda:
What I see happening is many Christians are in favour of Jewish terrorism and denounce Palestinian terrorism, as if God has a moral double standard. All praise be to their military Messiah.
This is not in Jesus character, as he came in peace to save All nations, not with a physical sword, but with a spiritual one, that sword is the truth of God's word. He once admonished his deciples for wanting to call down fire on the unbelievers, telling them they did not know of what spirit they were of.
Has God abolished the Law, I think not.
Joshua 1:8 (KJV)
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
1 Timothy 1:8-11 (KJV)
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Pamela & Wanda,
All great comments - Solomon applied himself relentlessly to this task - Ecclesiastes 1:13 Contemporary English Version (CEV) "With all my wisdom I tried to understand everything that happens here on earth. And God has made this so hard for us humans to do."
