What year(s) was this? Our Navy boy did his basic training at Coronado in ‘92. We flew out for his graduation and had to stay a few extra days when Hurricane Andrew wrecked Miami that year (to tie back to the “tornado” sub-thread). San Diego is a great place to ride out an Atlantic category 5 hurricane.
I lived in San Diego for a few years. Also was stationed at Camp Lejeune when I was in the military. Both super great places!

"But other than that, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

It'll get better. No turning back.

Bless your heart.
The Lord knows all about it.
He already knows how He's going to bring you through it.
He has you in His everlasting everlasting arms. Take a breath and praise Him. He's listening for you. :)

It was like God created them and it was terrifying. But they were a ways off and we were safe.
'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.' John 10:10

Jesus here is speaking of the devil. From these words we know who the destroyer is and it ain't God.
We also know who the life giver is.....and his intention.

You need to read the old testament.
Deuteronomy 32:39

King James Version


39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

hmmmm, I s'pose if you want to think as a Jew or even any of the pagan nations, this is how they thought.
Jesus however, gave us insight which says otherwise.
The question is, who will you believe?

Oh well how about the new testament version:

2 Thessalonians 1:7-8

King James Version


7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

the very thing Jesus counselled them against.

Luke 53:54-56
'
but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them b ?” But Jesus turned and rebuked them. Then he and his disciples went to another village.'

How is it that we want God to extract revenge on our behalf? How is it we get a macabre satisfaction in pay back?
Is it not because we do not know how to love.....is it not because because we, like all the nations, make God in our own image?

I think you're projecting your own ideas onto God. God does good, he caused the flood and wiped out everyone that was evil except a few that would follow him towards good.

by Jesus's own witness we know who the destroyer is......contrary to what people thought and believed.

John 10:10
'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

The question is, who will we believe?

There are people that hold onto one verse and disregard all the rest. Keep in mind this is God talking:

Genesis 8:21

King James Version


21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
