What is equally disappointing is when Christians blame a fictitious creature (supernatural satan) for something which relates only to nature.
Do you not believe Satan exists?
Just curious...

No and yes...Do you not believe Satan exists?
Just curious...

Are you going to make a thread about it? I have some interesting idea's about satan.No and yes...
Maybe for another thread.
I would say the land is vomiting people out of it.Let's make this clear, in times of natural disaster, it creates a turning point, a reliance on God, people need God's help in time of natural disaster, the non-christians start seeking for answers, people get led to Jesus. This is all end time stuff though as the world gets worse and worse, and the time gets nearer and nearer, it takes more and more to get people to seek God for help, I agree with you guys though, out of every state, why Texas? Perhaps he was trying to create a peace in Texas, with violence between blacks and whites, violence between gangs, etc, perhaps he was trying to create a peace in the midst of a storm.
But is it God who causes the storm, or does God allow Satan to go a certain length with natural disasters to bring repentance & people to Jesus?
Whether SSM is legal or not, America is an interesting place, like nowhere else in the western world, people openly speak the gospel and Jesus, and that's great, but America then has great extremes of messed up, with Hollywood, playboy mansion, fornication, prostitution, movies, drugs, alcoholics, the high party life, the definition of what's morally right is completely perverted like nowhere else, USA has violence like nowhere else in the western world, eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, you owe me money, I beat you up, you step foot on my piece of dirt you get shot, America has a big range of diversity from the Godly to the corrupt and worldly, from the morally right to the morally wrong, the Godly Americans have greatly led a lot of the world to Jesus, and at the other side of the scale a lot of ungodly Americans have greatly deceived, twisted and mixed up a lot of the western world, if God is calling people to repentance by allowing Satan to cast natural disaster, then we better pray for God's protection over God's people in America, Australia and the world. America is a leading an example for most of the western world, I don't know whether if it's always going to be that way til Jesus comes back, but point is, while there is a lot of Godliness in the USA, there is massive lot of wrong over there too, Mexico is another story, lots of people claim to be Christians and Catholics over there, but many of them make their money out of crime and wrongdoing.
So do unnatural relationships, sinful relationships outside of marriage, immorality bring upon a nation, natural disaster?
To some of these questions and wonders, thoughts in the mind, only God truly knows.
We know from the Bible though, the devil came to steal, kill and destroy, in more ways than one.

It is given once for man to die, and in the world we will have tribulation. Every life has it own version of tragedy. We do not draw lots, nor can we really choose that our will rather than God's be done. There are only two choices: Life in Christ, or death alone. Either way, the storms will come. Make the best of things.Let's make this clear, in times of natural disaster, it creates a turning point, a reliance on God, people need God's help in time of natural disaster, the non-christians start seeking for answers, people get led to Jesus.

If you don't know the true nature of the adversary (satan) best practice is not to assume a fictitious creature, after all there is only One who has the power to bring such divine trials upon people.
42:10 So the Lord restored what Job had lost after he prayed for his friends, and the Lord doubled all that had belonged to Job. with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
F2F.
The effect in all countries will be that by the new generations it will be viewed as normal. This is the Whole point, after all, isn't it? To make what is not normal, normal.
It's the normalization that is different. Nothing else has changed. SS persons have Always lived together.
In the U.S. they are adopting children.
A study last year found that children of SS parents are more likely to commit suicide,
if I remember correctly, about 40% more likely.
When satan rules, the outcome is Always bad. It's Always mixed up, and it Always bring to ruination.
That the abnormal will become normal is the enemies goal.
I ask: Why do most persons approve of this?
Maybe because it's so nice to be modern and accept everything?
Maybe because that Group has worked for decades to get to here?
Little by little works a lot better than all of a sudden.
So here we are.
Hi,I am also Australian, but I've decided I'm not getting involved with this.
What I wondered today was, how could they have scientifically tested the impact of same sex relationships on children, when same sex relationships and marriage equality for these couples has been illegal.
It takes along time to test the veracity of any given theory, and longer still to establish them as fact. We don't even understand the fact's around gravity and space, and we've been at that for much longer.
But this all just boils down too matters of the hearts, love and whatnot.
Neither do I.Hi,
Matters of the heart, love and whatnot?
One can love another with all their heart, that does not equate to same sex marriage. I love all the women in my life with my whole heart. That does not equate to marriage and sex with them.
Scripture is VERY clear about marriage and it does not condone same sex marriage.
Love, Mary
Hi,Neither do I.
No reason, just don't wanna.Hi,
So why are you not getting involved?
Curious Mary
No reason, just don't wanna.
