God and the flooding of New Orleans

[HAZARD]

Dear friends in Jesus.

"I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the Earth.

And it shall come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters SHALL NO MORE BECOME A FLOOD TO DESTROY ALL FLESH." (Genesis 9:13-15).

To accuse God of sending any flood at all upon men or animals is to accuse Him of being a covenant breaker and a Liar! Now we know He is neither of these things. God is not the author of sin, death, destruction or suffering. Satan, demons, and sin cause all man's troubles in this fallen world. May God save us and help us from such modern fallacy that God gets glory out of seeing His children in trouble. The reason God permits men to suffer is because man rejected God and man decided he knew better than God and would do things his way. The truth is, that if God's will were obeyed by all here on Earth, as it is in Heaven, there would be no reaping for wrong sowing.

For example, as someone mentioned in an earlier post; If people build cities on land which is "below" sea level, or beside a large river, or next to volcano's, then ,when a storm causes more than the usual rain to fall, and the tide turns, this land naturally will be flooded. When a volcano erupts, the city beneath it usually gets smashed. And so it goes.

As someone observed, the French Quarter (the home of the 'gay central' in New Orleans) was NOT flooded, but rather the two parishes next to the French Quarter were flooded out. It would appear that God does NOT hate homosexuals, but rather He hates the 'homosexual adjacent!'

That is the problem with trying to form post hoc conclusions based on circumstantial evidence. Depending on which set of circumstances one chooses to evaluate, various conclusions could be arrived at

2 weeks ago, I attended a prayer meet for ALL denominations-praying for drought stricken Australia- a very real present crisis we Aussies are in.

On the stage of the Church we had gathered in , was a wooden cross with signs nailed to it...

Pornography, divorce, addictions, theft, deceit, hypocrisy in leadership, immorality, sexual gender reversal....and so on.

This was a representation of the "Church" today in Australia. NOT unbelievers of Australia but the backbone of our moral fibre in this country.

We hold the belief that if God sends judgement upon a people/country, it must be because the non believers are running amock. Not so.

The Holy Spririt moved strongly in that prayer session of 3 hours and many, many individuals repented of sins - sins that fell under the headings of the signs on the cross.

It's gotten to the stage where Believers(some) are doing EXACTLY the same as their non believing bro's and sis's.

Look at Noahs time. Out of all the people who were found fit to save from the flood was Noah and his family..not his parents, siblngs, cousins etc. Just a handful of worthy people-

When Jesus says not all who say Lord, Lord will be saved, shouldn't we really take a hard look and think again about these catastrophes and view them as NOT being JUST natural disasters?- But as a time of looking inward and repenting?

[Joshua-777]

I have heard some compelling stories to confirm it was a judgement from God.

As well as stories about the tsunami in Indonesia.

Hurricane Katrina - to do with Homosexuality and voodoo/black magic.

Tsunami - Child peadophilia-being a haven for the world wide network of child pornography/molestation.

I've heard this too.

i know that GOD used this tragadey to get my attention. i knew that something was coming, but expected it to hit me, in Mobile. It sort of did, i was swept off my feet and the East end of my carport caved in. HE got my attention!

i do know one thing for sure, that Mobile has become much darker in the last 18 months. iv'e noticed alot of occult activity going on here that iv'e never seen before. The LORD has opened my eyes to see that this is a result of Katrina, and you will see the LORD bring judgement to Mobile if they,the city, tolerate the occult activities to grow ,as they seem to be.

i hope that GOD's people will be about the KINGDOM business, and prayerfully quell the influx of demonic activity. Please pray that i will be

everybit the woman the LORD desires me to be ,everywhere, at all times.

Please, all of you, prayer warriors, pray. i desire to be built up, in HIM, unto Every good Work, i am in need of prayer in this. Thank you, and May GOD Richly Bless You! angela

well, my thoughts, and what I saw through it (looking back on it not forward, so is not a prophecy or anything like that......

Katrina, sitting off in the Gulf waters, almost stalled out (where it can build up strength)

the USA and other countries, encouraging Israel (almost forcing her) to give up land for peace, making another treaty with another land that is not with Israel, but against her....

There Prime Minister signs the paper,

Katrina makes land fall,

their P.M. falls ill and is landed in the hospital in a coma.....

now, looking even further back... Israel was told not to make any treaties with any one when she went into the promised land..... every time Israel makes a treaty with some one, it back fires....

looking back even more, Abraham was given a promise, those that Bless Abraham will be blessed, those that curse Abraham will be cursed..... God made another promise to Abraham, that he would be the father of a great nation.... he begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob (later tobecome ISRAEL)....

by helping Israel defend herself against her enemies, this would be blessing her.... by helping her enemies obtain land that is rightfully Israels, this would be cursing her.....

if you curse my son, you curse me...... if you curse my grandson, you curse me even more and I will stand up and come to the aid of both...... you would be better off cursing me, for I will probably just turn my back and leave you to your own demise........

now

if you bless my son, grandson, greatgrandson.... you are blessing me....... and I will bring you in.....

so,

being that the USA was directly involved in Israel giving up part of Gaza, the USA was directly involved in cursing Israel......

and now.... if you are keepingup with any of the news going on, there is talks on going about giving up part of the Golen Heights.......

I say, we need to help Israel maintain the entire Golen Heights area, and take back all of the Gaza strip that was given up for peace, for the peace pact that was done is not being kept....

and the next time that Israel is attacked by her enemies, we need to be right there to assist her, and not call for a cease fire as soon as Israel is getting the upper hand, but help her get her land and goods back, that which rightfully belongs to her...... (oh yea, did you know there were tunnels that have been located under Israel, that the hesbula pukes made?..... yep..... )

so, Yes, i do believe the USA had it coming to her for her actions against God....

not just with Israel, but also wit hthe abominations that we are committing there, the idol worship, whoremongering, the remaining sins that are ongoing on an hourly basis with out the slightest sign of repentance......

Bill Koenig, a major-media White House correspondent, published a book 6 months earlier than that with Bush superimposed over a hurricane with the same warnings. In this book, he documents how 14 of the 15 largest natural disasters in American history came within 24 hours of an initiative to give away Israel to her enemies.

What?

(I should point out that MOST of what you post sounds reasonable, but the above has to be a typo.)
