4His_glory said:
If you take my word out of context then I suppose you could say that. But notice I said that we do not know why God allowed this to happen. He has a purpose, but it is not our duty to know that purpose per se, other than the truth that everything, yes even tragedy, God uses for His glory.
Indeed, we sometimes do not know what the intention of God is.
But have you read that Jesus said this?
Luke 13:3
I tell you, Nay: but, except
ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish
Do you preach the Repentance like Him?
To suggest that God did this because the people were Catholic is to assume some knowledge that we don't have. That is the same thing of which Job was guilty.
I was not indicating the whole community, but as you can see, 60 out
of 500 victims were from the single Catholic Cathederal. That is totally different from Job's trial. Did Job die immediately?
How is the difference betwen this case and Sodom and Gomorrah?
Was Abraham injured or hurt during the Catastrophe?
Now you are confusing me. Did you not just say that God makes mistakes? I agree with the above statement. God never makes mistakes.
Where did I say that God makes mistakes?
You are creating the confusions and false statements!
Show Me the statements!
I doubt about your capacity to understand the English sentences.
God never makes mistakes !
The God who never makes mistakes struck the Holy Catholic Church building. Don't they get the message?
Don't you like to preach the Repentance as Jesus did ?
They can´t explain just as you and I can not undertand why God specifically allowed this to happen.
Let's say the average people and/or the overall catastrophes are related to complicated human disaster, but what I pointed out was the very Cathedral where the people were performing the Mass.
Still, don't you get the message of Repentance ?
So when a Baptist pastor and his family die in a tragic car accident, or a tornado destroyes their house, why didn´t God warn them if they were really God´s people? Do you see the problem with this kind of reasoning?
Traffic Accidents are different from the Acts of God. They are human disasters caused by many factors and the innocent believers can become the victims of the drunken drivers. I never addressed that kind of accidents to point out the problems with any religion.
In case of Tornado, the victims may have lost the property. In that case it applies to Job's trial. If the person died due to the Acts of God, then it would apply to the same question. Even in such case, it is a matter of Repentance.
So now you question my salvation? If I am preaching another Gospel I am not saved if I understand my Bible correctly. I would caution you to think before you make such judgments.
I would kindly advise you to read all the statements carefully, rather than responding to them irrationally and hastely.
Where did I say I doubt about your salvation?
I wondered what kind of truth you are preaching !
I asked such questions because I noticed many are wasting their time preaching the wrong doctrines even though they are truly saved.
Are you preaching the Gospel and the Repentance from the Idolatry there?
I do have 2 friends preaching the Gospel in Catholic countries, one in Argentine and the other in Ireland. They deplore idolatry and vain deception by the Catholics even though they don't condemn them publicly. They share the same opinion with me and I have had no problem in talking with them at all. They don't condone the idolatry there.
Are you preaching the Gospel like this man ?
Acts 17
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
For the record. I do not agree with the fallacies of Catholic theology, I do beleive that all have sinned and that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
Very Good. Hope you notice Catholics believe in the Grace+ Works.
I just don´t see where bashing Catholics is part of preaching the Gospel of Christ. A sinner is a sinner no matter what religion they practice. We all need Christ more than we really think we do.
Are you trying to survive in the Catholic countries by assimilating yourself with them, or are you trying to be "the Salt and Light " there?
Of course I am not asking you to fight the fleshly fight publicly, but if you are boldy preaching the Gospel of truth and discern the problems of the Catholic idolatry, you wouldn't have argued about my post.
I don´t have the time to argue with you about this, but my heart was burdened for you. I trust that you truly desire to see everyone including Catholics come to a saving relationship with Christ, but your attitude towards them that I am seeing is not one of love.
Yes, indeed I wish everyone including Catholics truly comes to the Lord, departing the Idolatry and repenting all the sins. Condoning the Idolatry and the goddess worship is not the love that God taught me. I am not asking you to fight the foolish fight but believe you have to be wise in all matters, as condoning them is not right.
