Global Warming

Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

According to the scripture above, all of creation waits earnestly for the revelation of the children of God. Earnestly means with eagerness and zeal.

Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Rom 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

In order to fully understand what is being shown here, we must go back to the Garden of Eden. When Adam and Eve were created, there was no sin in them at all. They were obedient to God and His Word. There was no such thing as death or sickness at all.

When they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil their eyes were opened and they were ashamed. This act of disobedience brought death to them, and their offspring until the end of the world. This disobedient act also brought death to animals and all things in nature. We know thar Adam and Eve both died physically eventually, but they died spiritually at the moment Adam at the fruit.

Fast forward to the times of today. The opening scripture tells us that nature itself groans even up to this time today. Earthquakes and tornadoes are more numerous than ever before. Hurricanes and tsunamis are likewise more numerous. Many blame God for these things happening when they need to put the blame on themselves. You see, God didn't leave us, we left Him. We have forsaken Him and have sought our own righteousness. We told Him to let us alone so we can do whatever we want no matter the consequences.

Nature rebels against our sinfulness. Nature longs to be delivered from the wickedness of man. It is our disobedience to God that has caused so much havoc.

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The reason the flood came was because of the constant wickedness of man. Even every thought of man was evil and wicked, thinking nothing that was good. Later in Genesis you can read about Sodom and Gomorah. They were destroyed because of their sins, which were also constant. One thing you will never find is the fact that the righteousness are never forsaken. God always takes care of His children, even when the world seems to be crashing down around them.

I know the title of this is Global Warming, but it envelopes all types of elements of nature and why it happens so frequently.

So then you're saying that at least most lies are evil? I ask you who taught you how to lie? Stomper

Lying 2

I can't say that all lies are good or evil. Generally, I'd say lying is not good, but there are circumstances where it may be the better alternative. (And many where it's a rotten thing to do.) In general, I think it's better not to lie.

So do you think lying is good or evil? Stomper

Job IV

Of course I've told a lie - many of them.

Job

I hear or read a lot about man's interpretations. What everyone seems to miss is the fact that if God cannot keep His word true for men, then there is something bad wrong with God. God is more than able to keep His Word intact. Wouldn't you agree? I have a question to ask you right now. Have you ever in your life told a lie? Stomper

JOb III

Yes I am saying that. And with all due respect, I don't think any human being would go through what Job went through and say it was worth it - remember, this is a man whose 10 children were killed, simply so God and Satan could play a little game to test his faith. Sure, he got 10 more children later - but that doesn't alter the fact that he lost 10 children of his own. Sorry - it is not possible that any REAL human being would say it was worth it - but the story of Job is not real. It is a story, a myth, intended to impart a message, not to record what actually happened. Second point- I'm not talking baout the whole world today, as I've pointed out. I'm talking about in Noah's day. You keep avoiding addressing that issue - that aside from Noah and his family, EVERY SINGLE PERSON, FROM A NEWBORN BABY TO THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD was judged totally corrupt and unworthy of being saved by God. I cannot accept that that was true - and though you might attest to the contrary, I don't believe that you, in your innermost heart, truly believe that either. Again, Noah's story is just that -a story -and if you accept it as that and learn from it, great. But as an accuratey and exact historical account reflecting what happened, it doesn't hold up. If as you state God's word is always right, then it seems that Man's interpretation of that word is not necessarily always right. (Especially since God contradicts himself numerous times in the Bible.)

Job

So you are saying that what Job learned from it wasn't worth it even though Job himself thought so? As perfect as Job might have been at the time, he was not God. Job questioned God about the things that were happening to him. Job's friends accused him of gross sins. In the end who restored Job and gave him even more than he had before? As far as the whole world today. Murders and rapes everywhere. Genocide committed on a daily basis. Men have started calling themselves god. Even satan didn't call himself god. It makes no difference if you can or will accept it or not. God's Word is always right. He is never wrong. Stomper

Job II

Was with Job all the time - but didn't stop terrible, horrible things from happening to him - which is for all intents and purposes the same as abandoning him, as your argument is that only the wicked get punished, the righteous do not. (That assumes the story of Job is true, which your previous statements seem to support, as opposed to what it actually is - a myth intended to tell a truth hidden under the surface.) On the second point, I'm not talking about "A" nation being full of thieves, etc. - we're talking about EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD except for Noah and his family being totally unworthy of being saved. Not a possibility. Again, it's a great story that makes a noteworthy point - but as a true and actual account of history exactly as it occurred, I can't accept it.

Job

Job was never forsaken. God was with him all the time. God even blessed him with double everything that the enemy took. If there was a nation who only had thieves and murderers in it, you can rest assured that the babies also will be just as everyone else. Your argument is flawed. Stomper

Stomper

"The righteous are never forsaken?"

Have you read the book of JOB? God forsakes him plenty. Do you honestly believe that, in the entire world, out of all the millions of people who lived then, ONLY Noah and his family were worthy of being spared from death and destruction - all the newborn babies who had never even been given the chance to be evil or vile should be condemend to death?
