Kirk Cameron: God sent Hurricanes Harvey, Irma for 'humility, awe and repentance

This halibut is good enough for Jehovah!
 

boy, that sure sounds like a God of love & forgiveness
:roll:

OT God was a forced to be a bit more "Get your attention".

He is about love and forgiveness, it's just like with your kids, sometimes you gotta lay the smack down.
 
They make up the rules as they go along depending on the narrative and the point they're trying to make.

People do that with all sorts of supernatural notions. Like when someone claims they saw a ghost. I was think: Really well how exactly did light reflect off that ghost so you could see it?

Of course, even when you cast aside all the violations of the laws of physics that have to occur for God to send a hurricane to punish a group or "inspire humility, awe, and repentance", why is that an all powerful god, capable any miracle, have to resort to carpet bombing any group he disagrees with? You would think that if he were trying to punish a group he could be a pretty targeted with it.

Right, parents routinely must engage in wholesale genocide, command the rape and enslavement of prepubescent girls of opposing tribes, rip open the wombs of pregnant women, have a guy come within an inch of sacrificing his child just to **** him, force rape victims to marry their rapists, and of course condone slavery.....you know to "lay the smack down".

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” -Richard Dawkins
 
I remember from Sunday School that God promised not to use a flood to punish those that didn't please Her and the rainbow was Her promise. So those who use hurricanes and extreme weather to condemn any group are, imo, just plain ignorant, not true Christians and full of hate for other children of God. So-called Christians who spew hate aren't true or God's chosen.

I thought God gave that 'rainbow' to the GLBT community ................ was He was implying He wasn't gonna rain on their parade? .............

No Christian is God's chosen.

Jewish people are, supposedly.
 
So how much evil would you tolerate before you would act? God has more patience than any human ever thought about having...:roll:

Not much, apparently, if the first two people in the world, your own creations, get cast out for one mistake. That's not much evil to tolerate. In fact, it's the first sin and everyone ever since is guilty of it.
No, not very tolerant.
 
Someone needs to ask these fundamentalists to explain the physics behind God creating a hurricane, sustaining it, and then directing it where he thinks needs to be punished or needs to be taught humility.

If what this idiot Cameron thinks is true, the middle east, Europe, California and every liberal place on earth should be hit by a hurricane of godly disaster weekly, same for the middle east where they do not even believe in him. No instead he sends it to places like Texas and the religious south in the US, that makes no sense whatsoever.

He could have just destroyed them then and there, along with Satan and we wouldn't be here but instead, He allowed Satan a chance to prove his point, and us a chance to live...
 
If he was a God with real power he would produce that hurricane during the hurricane off season between December and May. That would have gotten more people's attention.

Trying to take claim for a hurricane during hurricane season is like predicting a rainbow after a rainstorm.

According to the NT those who follow Christ are Her/His chosen people.

Whatever you say.

At least you have that going for you.
 
Thank goodness Kirk gave up acting, he had very little talent to begin with. The God squad can keep him.
