God for Tragedies?

Original Article

Posted By: abuela10, 2/5/2023 8:36:16 AM

While I actually haven’t personally heard anyone blame God when they lost a close one in a tragedy, it’s a timeworn message in fiction novels. The protagonist wails against God when tragedy occurs or sometimes we read the words of an atheist shouting, “Where was God when the tsunami (earthquake, cyclone, hurricane, mass shooting, etc.) killed thousands? If there was a God, wouldn’t He have stopped this?” The truth is, God is an unlikely scapegoat and if one reads the Bible, especially the Old Testament, one would give Him the benefit of the doubt.

Much of the time, humans are the culprits for tragedies. Poor engineering, sinful lives, justice not executed... These are not the fault of God.

Who in their right mind would blame God for this constant beat down. The democrats are experts at creating crisis and never let a crisis go to waste. They created Covid. They created the problems they created the shutdown. They opened borders which created more homelessness and fetynal related addiction and deaths. They got rid of our police. They opened the prisons. They put degenerates in charge of the government. They closed our schools. They put our children in danger. They created our shortages by many ways including shutting down the pipeline.They take away our right to speak. They claim everything is racist related, even the word field. They put rapists in women’s locker rooms, shelters and prisons. They throw you in prison for just saying the wrong thing..

I have this hanging in my dining room, "God doesn't give us what we can handle, God helps us handle what we are given" because I firmly believe there is a mindset out there that God is the blame for all of this. Nope, since Adam and Eve, God has been having to clean up the messes caused by us humans. It usually involves God's adversary. . .

It's the devil's world. God created it all, but there's a conflict going on between God and the fallen angels, led by Satan. God does not directly interfere with man's freewill, which is why there's evil running amuck in the world, and when things get really bad, God has been known to set off a volcano, or let loose a tsunami. Man is supposed to manage his own house and keep things tidy, per the Mosaic Law's rules of governance (minus the theocracy part). History shows us that when man departs from God and His ways that bad things happen to man. It's not God causing bad things, it is man inheriting the evil of the devil's world and foregoing the protection of God.

Our Creator doesn't really ask so very much from us. To love Him above all things, and to love our neighbor. To guide us along the way He gave us ten basic rules for living together in community, and nine "be attitudes" to hold within our hearts. He even took on human flesh and became one of us in order to conquer evil and death. The iniquity and perfidy of all humanity has been redeemed. The Victory has been secured on Calvary's hill. We who are living on earth today are the rear-guard action; fighting clean-up against the dead-enders as we await the promised Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Many times in the last two thousand years the world has come to the point of disintegration where the population has thought the Second Coming was at hand, but survived to evolve into a different epoch of civilization. Some times it was for the better, other times it was for the worse. In the past it seemed to happen to civilizations that were isolated in specific places upon the earth; Maya, Incas, Greece, Rome. However, today it is a world-wide event happening in every country, in every region of the earth. It gives a Christian good reason to go down on one's knees. Pray, dear Patriots, read and meditate on Holy Scripture. In God We Trust.

We should be thanking God that things are not a lot worse, given how the human race has been behaving lately. America claims to be "one nation, under God" but that notion is long gone.

Saw this once and never forgot it: "Order is peace. Peace is love. Love is God." God is order and the devil is chaos. Simple. Our chaotic world is becoming more and more Godless and more and more chaotic. It is stunning to see what is going on in some of our classrooms. Once upon a time, you would be chastised for chewing gum. The chaos comes from the devil. Not God's fault. Get God's order back and you will have peace. Notice of late that we are reading about the threat of World War III (that's like a hot fudge sundae with whipped cream and fudge sauce to the devil).

Just because Job said, "the Lord gives and the Lord takes" does not make it true, anymore than the Pharisees' declaration that Jesus was satan was true. Job was not a prophet or judge speaking for God, just a guy trying to explain his suffering.

2 Corinthians 4:4, NLT says "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe." Since Satan is 'god of this world', wouldn't this world, by definition, be hell itself?? God allows this to happen, free will notwithstanding, just as God allowed Satan to torment Job. Job 1:12, 2:6

Perhaps only senior citizens will recognize his name and a few millennials might know that he was the father of Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). Other cinephiles might know that he left his wife Debbie Reynolds to marry Elizabeth Taylor, who left him for Richard Burton, but since they’re all dead, who cares? Well, I was ten years old when I heard Eddie Fisher sing “Count Your Blessings” and it’s a lesson that in this crazy world of protests and angst, we should all heed especially in this season of increasing despair.

 Forgive me for using such harsh words but I just watched Greg Gutfeld mock a NYC Councilwoman for making what can only be a very, very dumb inexplicable statement. Tiffany Caban, representing D22, released a public safety guide urging merchants to call 3-1-1, not 9-1-1, to seek mental health services and engage in community mediation, rather than call the cops. She tweeted: "We're distributing them to local businesses, so our neighborhood is equipped with better ways of solving problems than simply summoning police every time a challenge arises."

Perhaps stupid is not the right word. Gullible is not right either. It's really hard to pinpoint the main reason behind the disastrous state of our country but the cold hard fact is that many Americans have fallen for two of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated by the left , the media and corrupt politicians. It's too simple to blame the voters of any particular party when the main culprits are the individuals who just can't be bothered with politics.

Former president Donald Trump emerged from 38 days of self-enforced silence for a lengthy speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, that was frequently interrupted with boisterous applause and chants from an adoring, mostly white and older crowd. He was spot-on in his indictment of the five-week-old Biden administration, accusing the new president of lying about his "radical far-left" agenda during the campaign. Predictably, he also slammed the "fake news" for what he said was their assistance in covering up that agenda.

I am the author of the bestselling book "TRUMP RULES." My book identifies the top 10 rules that made former President Donald Trump one of the greatest winners in world history in business, branding, real estate, celebrity, television, publishing and politics. Trump is the only person in world history to reach the pinnacle of all of those fields. And the only person to become both a billionaire and president of the United States. It's not a bad resume. Many critics think Trump's winning streak ended with a presidential loss. I disagree. I know the man. I understand the man. I know what comes next. It may be Trump's greatest chapter yet.  Correction*

Pete Buttigieg Says Biden Is TOO Successful

Posted by ladydawgfan 2/6/2023 4:13:09 PM Post Reply
Transportation Secretary and Chasten’s wife — er, husband, Pete Buttigieg, went on NBC’s Meet the Press on Feb. 5 to preview Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. During that appearance, Buttigieg claimed that Joe Biden is just so wildly successful as president that his accomplishments cannot be easily distilled — hence Biden’s low approval ratings. Yes, Mayor Pete actually said Biden is extremely unpopular because he’s too good at his job. Buttigieg rambled out a justification of the Biden administration allowing an apparent Chinese spy balloon to cross the U.S. before shooting it down over the ocean (where, quite conveniently, no one can pick up tell-tale debris as enlightening evidence).

The military did not detect previous flights of Chinese spy balloons over the U.S. that took place during the Trump administration, a top general said Monday, due to a "gap" in the Defense Department's ability to track certain airborne objects. Gen. Glen VanHerck, head of North American Aerospace Defense Command, cited the issue as the reason that at least three spy balloon flights were not briefed to senior Trump officials at the time. "So those balloons, so every day as a NORAD commander it's my responsibility to detect threats to North America," he told reporters at the Pentagon. "I will tell you that we did not detect those threats.

He was ensconced behind that golden EIB microphone; a master of ideas and argument. From his lofty height, he engaged with every thorny problem with an equanimity that drew a placid sagacity from an ocean of experience, and confidence. After all, Rush was “documented almost always right 99.7% of the time.” He was a compass that always pointed the precise bearing to truth. He was the constitutionalists’ loadstar.

Ahead of President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday night, Republican lawmakers told DailyMail.com that they want to see the commander-in-chief pledge to rein in federal spending and be 'truthful' with Americans about the current threats to U.S. homeland security. The president will be delivering his first speech to a divided Congress, tasked with bringing a unifying message to a Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a Democrat-held Senate. But before he even begins, Biden's address is already likely to be overshadowed by the recent diplomatic incident caused by a suspected Chinese 'spy balloon' floating over multiple U.S. states
