The MASSIVE tornados in the south...

[Alive in Christ]

Everyone on CNN and the Weather Channel are talking like that these are EXTRORDINARILLY destructive and fierce tornados. They are saying things like, "had bad ones before, but NEVER...LIKE...THIS."

Katrina
The oil spill
These tornados


Just wonder sometimes if God Almighty is eather judging us for our hedomism, violence, sodomites accepted, baby killing, etc, with our soon destruction the result...

Or...saying to us " this is your last chance, get your act together, or else I WILL do it."

He has done it before.

(There are times when I am GLAD that I am on the back side of 40.)

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Rev. 3:19

It is mother nature getting back as humans. Scientists have said for years that with global warming storms, tornadoes and hurricanes will become stronger. Well ............ guess we are seeing it for real and not just in computer models now.

I never met mother nature, but I do know Father God!

By the way.. global warning has been proven false. - just saying

Thanks for the good chuckle. It is good for my health.

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. According to the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global surface temperature increased by 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 20th century.[2][A] Most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century has been caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, which result from human activities such as the burning of fossil fuel and deforestation.[3][4] Global dimming, a phenomenon of increasing atmospheric concentrations of human-made particulates, which affect cloud properties and block sunlight from reaching the surface, has partially countered the effects of warming induced by greenhouse gases.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming

Global warming has become perhaps the most complicated issue facing world leaders. On the one hand, warnings from the scientific community are becoming louder, as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases — produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and forests. On the other, the technological, economic and political issues that have to be resolved before a concerted worldwide effort to reduce emissions can begin have gotten no simpler, particularly in the face of a global economic slowdown.

[blackbird]

Think about all the destruction recently---and in recent years

Then subtract the oil spill----we brought that on ourselves

Katrina

Japan Earthquake

then these tornadoes

What gives??

Global warming is man's guess----guessing without God

And religious man says-----"Look at all this destruction---I'm tellin' ya---God is out to get somebody---He's mad---He's judging---this Tornado is "God's terrible swift sword!!"

BUT

God says the things happening and that will happen are all parts of a "groaning"----a collapsed creation brought on by Adam's sin----creation thrown into chaos

Romans 8:22-23 teaches, "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption to wit, the redemption of our body."(bolden emphasis is mine)

Earthquakes---tornadoes----hurricanes---volcanoes----tidal waves---are all friendly reminders that this world as we know it is finite---and the clock is running toward a new world---God will take this corrupted world and change it----resurrect it----make the old new----the finite will be changed into the infinite!!!

Yes---we will continue to have tornadoes

Yes---we will continue to have earthquakes

Yes---we will continue to have hurricanes

Yes---we will continue to have tidal waves

UNTIL TIME'S PENDELUM SWINGS FOR THE LAST TIME----AND TIME IS SWALLOWED UP BY ETERNITY AND ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW!!

But hey---this is just my take on the matter!!! Al Gore's group will blame global warming-----the religious crowd will blame a mad God----but I say these and the next calamity to come will point to the truth of Scripture found in Romans 8:22 & 23

Blackbird

So---------this kinda sorta takes the guessing out of the equation doesn't it????

Global dimming??!!

Oh, stowe the idea. The atmosphere where warm Gulf air meets cool arctic air [the South and Great Plain] does the twist every now and then.

All I am hearing about the tornadoes is that it is the worst outbreak in 40 years.

Not the worst ever.

Not something new.

Just part of the cycle of weather, hitting an ever increasing population.

 

[JohnDeereFan]

Remember the south is the Bible belt from what I remember - all the trouble is in the south - is it maybe the Christians whose attention is sought - just askin.

If you buy the idea that this is God's judgement, and if it is true that the South is any more "Christian" than the North, then 1 Peter 4:17 and 2 Chron 7:14 would seem to indicate that God holds His people accountable first.

 

[JohnDeereFan]

All I am hearing about the tornadoes is that it is the worst outbreak in 40 years.

Not the worst ever.

I lived in Pleasant Grove when I was a teenager, from roughly 1980-1988. It was a great little town and I loved it. Beautiful parks, wonderful neighbors, great churches, etc. Bethel Baptist Church was where I came to know the Lord.

Pleasant Grove was almost completely wiped out. I've never seen anything like it.

Certainly, it's the worst one since the one that destroyed Oak Grove in 1997. We lost several family members in that one.

 

[nodak]

My condolences re Pleasant Grove.

But the outbreak overall is not the worst one ever.

It is a horrible one. It is a big one.

Just saying big ones have happened before. Maybe not at Pleasant Grove, but elsewhere.

Amen Blackbird!

Global warming? Here is biblical Global Warming! 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

 

[dcorbett]

Amen Blackbird!!! It's the same problem with people I know who blame God for the tragic loss of a loved one.....when we know that SIN brought pain, suffering, and death into the world.
