[TruthTalk] Judgment?

[ShieldsFamily]

Perhaps Florida did not execute Paul Hill fast enough? I think I’m with Terry—natural weather is natural weather.  It doesn’t mean we can’t pray to be spared, however.   BTW, I remember when Missouri and other states in the Midwest voted to allow “riverboat” (river-side) gambling casinos, in spite of those of us who were strongly against it.  The following summer we dealt with the Great Flood of ’93.  Somehow it did seem appropriate as God’s judgment.  It seems to me that a good parent, when disciplining a child, will make the punishment somehow relate to the crime.  This seemed to fit like a glove.   Have you ever noticed that in individual lives? Perhaps I just have a weird way of looking at things in the spiritual realm. (Shut up Lance and G! J )  But I often think that if you really know a bit about the secret life of certain people you can make out just why God has allowed certain problems or “challenges” or judgments, or whatever you want to call it into their lives.  Certainly one cannot, like Job’s “friends” make such assumptions that problems indicate judgment.  But sometimes it’s hard to avoid what seems like an obvious connection.  Like the man who spent his life in sexual sin developing a certain disabling penile disease. Or the woman who spent her life berating and controlling her children, only to spend her later years being dominated and berated by her own husband.  Am I being too real here?  As much as we want to, I don’t think we can laugh off the reality of reaping (after many “days”) the fruit of what we have sown over decades of rebellion to God.   Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Slade Henson Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 8:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Re: [TruthTalk] Kruger   Oh my God, John... We know some of the same people. Neal Horsley mailed this same article to me. I was going to publish something on TruthTalk on this same subject but chose not to. If anything, the hurricanes should NOT be hitting Florida BECAUSE Florida executed the murderer Paul Hill.   -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 19 September, 2004 06.52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Kruger I am not of this persuasion but it does illustrate the extremes we might experience when we walk down the road of "judgmental" discovery  --  i.e. why "God has placed Florida under physical judgment."                     http://www.christiangallery.com/WrathofGod.htm John
