God hears GOP prayers for rain and answers them with a big NO
With the economy still in the dumper -- maybe permanently? -- and full-time jobs becoming as scarce as rain during a drought, huge percentages of Americans have had their (misplaced) faith in the American dream shaken, the upper-middle-class consumerist lifestyle is exposed as a mirage for anybody who plays by the rules. Capitalism and the America that embraced it as a way of life is now and forever more a failure. It does me good to know that the generation that voted in Reagan and his ideology will see their America die from that ideology before their very own eyes and knowing they had a hand in its destruction.
He's punishing Texans for electing Perry, not to mention Bush and LBJ.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
The same atmospheric conditions that are brining drought to Texas are keeping California's weather mild this summer. I doubt those who are quick to attribute disasters to god's judgment on a people for tolerating gays and abortion will claim that god is now blessing California with good weather.

It rained in New York which legalized gay marriage. What's up with that?

We're sorry, but the position of God's Official Spokesperson (Prophet) has already been filled by Goody. We will keep your resume on file, however, and if a position opens up we will certainly contact you.
There can only be one? Doesn't competition produce better results? Who are you, god's VP of HR?

We will keep your resume on file, however, and if a position opens up we will certainly contact you. I am just reporting on reality. Prayers for rain happened. No rain followed. Hence God answered with a resounding NO to the GOP's organized begging er praying.

You'll have to ask Goody. He had God in a pretty tight little box the other evening - adamantly declaring what God DOES and DOESN'T do. In fact, Goody assured me with 100 percent certainty that I was going to Hell In fact, YOU had better check with Goody and find out what YOUR final destination is . . .
The facts seem to be on your side.
"...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly
Brown nosing probably won't help. Goody's tough - he'll damn you to Hell, anyway.
In the case of the Republicans their brown nosing to God for rain aka praying did not help.

I don't claim this power - you are just mistaken because what I did do is point out maybe why your protest to God failed.

Thank God.
You're right. They should have prayed to you, instead. BTW - Is lucysmom on the Goody approved list to enter Heaven?
You're right. They should have prayed to you, instead. My reply to said prayers would have resulted in the same response as God's - i.e. no response.

Prophets are messengers.

It seems to me God answers prayers for personal guidance the best. I do remember my Texas born and raised MIL organizing a 'pray for rain' group in San Antonio a few years back during another one of Texas's 'normal' droughts. They had their prayers answered with flooding, and two of her best friends lost their homes. She died recently and to her grave, she vehemently hated Perry and the Bush's.
Oakland's Jack London Square.
"...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly
The point is that prayers organized by Perry to God to fix the screwed up state of Texas mean nothing to the Lord. God does not listen to Protestant prayers. They are the mouthings of cursed heretics. All Protestants are bound for hell. Sure. I belong to the actual Church he founded. I am not a Protestant so I am closer to him than you. I won't be standing next to God cursed Protestant heretics.....
Vic's Ice Cream in Land Park. It's definitely where the locals go.
What exactly did he say? Did he actually damn you to you-know-where, or merely suggest you take the trip?
"...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly
Did she hate the corrupt LBJ too - or did she just hate republican crooks?
Protestant heretics would agree with you.
"...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly
I don't recall, but most everyone hated LBJ when he was president. There was that 'credibility gap' and all. It was funny though, how most of the oilmen seemed to loved him then.
No no no no . In Goody-ism, ALL protestants are heretics
So far God is on my side.

On your way to/from Oakland this is a nice rest stop in the Livermore Valley...
Protestants = Protestors God does not like Protestors because the Kingdom of Heaven is not a Democracy but a totalitarian regime run by a genocidal tyrant whose edicts are enforced by death squads (of angels). I think he even has his minions kill the first born children just to show who was boss..... Saddam did not even do stuff like that.

I assume most Texas oilmen LOVE Texas Governors - the D or the R notwithstanding.
Keep digging, Goody. Keep digging.
So....God = Satan?? Or maybe they should have prayed to your "god." ANY animal or statue will do.

I hire illegal Mexicans for that.

They love 'em because without they know that no Texas gov candidate wins without 'em.
Thanks for the tips!
Who knows? But God does have a documented record of playing tricks.
E-X-A-C-T-L-Y!
I think he even has his minions kill the first born children just to show who was boss..... Saddam did not even do stuff like that. So....God is a "genocidal tyrant"? It's your opinion that he's 'Hitler-the-Creator'... And here YOU thought we should live forever on earth, eh? Go ahead and defy Him and live as loooong as YOU want. What's that? You can't? The chutzpah of The Almighty!! Who does He think He is making himself an omnificent GOD?!?? MEMO: YOU don't make the rules. You are mere dust in the wind. But you do have Free Will. IF some of us are patient, we may "live forever" - only it won't be on this temporary earth, AND it will be on the Creators terms and conditions (which He has spelled out.)

Deal with the reality: Your mortal life-form has what - 20-30 years left on this planet... It's up to YOU to discover your Creator's personal reason for creating YOU....and freeing yourself from mental bondage and deception. Your potential next life or death depends on it. Other than this heads-up, I can't help you.

When has "He" ever intervened to stop a slaughter? We are "His" creation made in his image. So...I guess "He" wouldn't...

My ego has NOTHING to do with knowing the Truth. My ego doesn't "profit"; Why must you Leftist anti-Christians see ego and "profit" in ghosts and shadows?? IF my ego were truly involved, I'd be a braggart about EVERYTHING.

He already did intervene; When He sent down His Son to save us from the slaughter of our spirits and souls. Satan is the Slaughterer and Destroyer. You need a little faith, baby.

Why do you hate the 10 commandments? Is it because abortion is to important an issue for you? Have you ever had an abortion?
That only caused more. So much for omnipotent...

Our spirits and soul are not physical. Our bodies obviously are, so they are subject to slaughter, suffering and dying in this world. But this world isn't God's Kingdom. Free Will has made man a slave of the flesh, of greed, of lies, of selfishness. The Devil brings all to their knees - all except those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb. To those who haven't heard the Word, they shall be judged accordingly and perfectly. Yes, even the "Saved" suffer physically, war...and die. BUT only ONCE.

I guess Isaiah was a liar.
Answer the question. SPIT SPIT.
Wasn't all that supposed to have been "nailed to the cross"? I'm actually being serious. Do you still honor the sabbath?
Was Isaiah a liar. Probably at some time in his life he lied. Have you ever lied? Go ahead and quote Isaiah where he allegedly lied.
I work on the Sabbath. I'm bad.
Didn't Jesus say something about not changing one iota of the law?
So you now want intimate personal info from me? What are you going to do with it, sell it to Badeye or ask me on a date?
Liberator said Isaiah lied about reencarnation. Can't you read?
I am going to read it and comment on it. Honest answer please. If abortion is a virtue you should be proud.
I didn't read the entire thread. My bad. How did Isaiah lie about the resurrection?
Jesus said that his "presence" was irrelevant to the law and the prophets such as they were. His presence, he said, was a fulfilment of both. BTW, Jews, used the laws in the Torah to guide them. Very few practiced a strict or literal adherence to them. They took the law and applied it to their circumstances. It's how law, especially common law, evolved.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Why do you think I added Liberators name to the comment. Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
Honest answer please. If abortion is a virtue you should be proud. LOL. Yeah right. Didn't your therapist ever talk to you about maintaining boundaries?
This is what I was referring to. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Didn't your therapist ever talk to you about boundaries? Anyone who hasn't had an abortion wouldn't be ashamed to answer the question. It is obvious you had an abortion. Do you feel guilty at all?

It is obvious you had an abortion. Do you feel guilty at all? More of your splitting. Don't you ever wonder why you are so unpopular on other forums? You actually drive others away from your political point of view because of your own neurosis.
That's a "none of your busines" question if ever there was one.

Well yea. Tyrant means lone ruler or big boss and has carried out genocidal acts like the flood, etc. I guess the flood makes God an eco-terrorists as well. In fact the Bible says we should fear God so he is a terrorist - initiator of terror.

Why aren't any of us surprised? God is pro illegal Mexicans since he ignores American prayers to keep them out of the USA.

It's called weather patterns that happen every 7-10 years or so. I lived in Texas for 12 years, we had 2 droughts and 2 rainy years in that period of time and the rest was normal........ Lakes would be down 50' one year because of no rain and be overfull 2 years later because of the rains...... nothing unusual whatsoever....
When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!! -----------------------------"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Nice rebuttal... And then he said something about fulfilling it.

No... Tyrant: a : an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or constitution b : a usurper of sovereignty 2 a : a ruler who exercises absolute power oppressively or brutally b : one resembling an oppressive ruler in the harsh use of authority or power http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tyrant Whose sovereignty is God "usurping"? Is God "oppressing" you right now? Since when does a tyrant allow freedom? Or grant mercy or clemency? In fact the Bible says we should fear God so he is a terrorist - initiator of terror. I suppose so are Mommy and Daddy "terrorists" - along with spiders and snakes, and the goobermint (for real.) It is by God's love and mercy that sinners-all have the opportunity (through Free Will) of dwelling in His Kingdom of Paradise forever. IF you insist on doing things your way, I guess like a petulant little child, you'd consider God mean ol' "terrorist." I guess the flood makes God an eco-terrorists as well.... If you say so, Sybil.

God is THE Author of ALL Law. His "constitution" is the Bible. What would "restrain" the power and will of God?? OTOH, even "tyrants" must and will die. That must sadden you and other Leftists.

If that being is pure good. Then do you think that he might have known something that you don't. Maybe he knew something that you don't and I don't and none of us can comprehend. What the whole earth was filled with evil right wingers and tea baggers. Noah and his family that went on the arc were the last Christian Democrats on earth. Jeb Bush was president of the world. Do you think God would have been just in those circumstances?
See above.
Sorry Libby...I nailed it. The context of the Sermon on the Mount was that the law existed as an earthly covenant between people that, once followed, established the more important spiritual covenant with God. And in the end, he established a new law, ironically based on the Beatitudes and "Love thy neighbor..." and a new convenant - born again blah blah blah - anyway...

Good morning war. That is why God brought the flood.
Then why did Jesus say he didn't come to destroy the law?
Only to promise never to do it again... It was actually the second time that he had destroyed the world...the first time being Eden, which he sealed with a Flaming Sword... But the GOd of the Old Testamant was a feisty old cuss. He didn't like to be screwed with.

God didn't need to bring the flood to wipe out the human race and every other living thing with it.

Jesus revealed "himself" over time and his purpose on earth. If you recall, the "Messiah" of the Old Testament was one who was going to "save" the Jews by freeing them from all bondage. The working assumption being that Jesus would be a literal warrior. No one expected him to preach that salvation wasn't prisoner to a condition of servitude or freedom. No one expected him to preach that salvation was a function of peace, love and understanding. So yes, obey the laws and the prophets by...BELIEVING IN HIM and his message. What was the law but God's word? What were the prophets but purveyors of God's will? What was the Messiah? The embodiement of both.

It was within the context of the Sermon and very early in his ministry. He didn't reveal the full purpose of his presence to his disciples until The Last Supper. When he was asked "What is the greatest commandment?" He actually cited two. One is similar to the first commandment but tempered slightly. The second is a commandment that cannot be found in Exodous. It is, however, the underpinning of some of the laws in Leviticus, a good portion of which is a social welfare code. Do you know what the commandment was?

Lets see if I remember without looking it up. It was about loving. That could sum up all the 10 commandments if you think about it.
I heard sermons preached with the theme that Christ was condensing the 10 commandments into two with His response. Interesting - "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." is a pretty good summation of the 1st five commandments; and "Love your neighbor as yourself" summarizes 6-10.
I'm sure he could have done it another way. To bad you weren't there to give him some advice. He might have done a better job huh? ;)
Ha, I basically said what you said only a few seconds earlier.
(Stone): I'm sure he could have done it another way. To bad you weren't there to give him some advice. He might have done a better job huh? ;) I've been served navy chow that might have done the trick.
Yes. But I find the morphology, or condensing as you say, an interesting twist to the question. When Christ finished by stating: "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets" [Mt22:40], the whole sense of mortal Christianity is established. Thinks about it: Love God...Love others...and the last, accept Jesus as Saviour is the whole of it. I've always found the Book of Matthew to be the most compelling Gospel in terms of what a Christian should be. Of course, I also believe the risen from the dead stuff to be a bunch of fairy tales. But, IMHO, Matthew gives the clearest course of moral conduct out of any of the Gospels.

I am just reporting on reality. Prayers for rain happened. No rain followed. Hence God answered with a resounding NO to the GOP's organized begging er praying.

I do remember my Texas born and raised MIL organizing a 'pray for rain' group in San Antonio a few years back during another one of Texas's 'normal' droughts. They had their prayers answered with flooding, and two of her best friends lost their homes.

The same atmospheric conditions that are brining drought to Texas are keeping California's weather mild this summer. I doubt those who are quick to attribute disasters to god's judgment on a people for tolerating gays and abortion will claim that god is now blessing California with good weather.

When he was asked "What is the greatest commandment?" He actually cited two. One is similar to the first commandment but tempered slightly. The second is a commandment that cannot be found in Exodous. It is, however, the underpinning of some of the laws in Leviticus, a good portion of which is a social welfare code. Do you know what the commandment was?
