OO7, Many people are asserting we deserve or perhaps should expect such calamity for a variety of reasons. Most of them are inserting into this crisis old arguments from other political contexts. These two are attaching old issues and grudges to this event, as many politicians and citizens are also doing at this time. That is inappropriate and actually detracts from the goals at hand. I heard one lady refer to our "rape of the world," for instance. That is an o.k. topic, and it might have some relevance, but is really another issue. Perhaps your intensity comes from disagreeing with them earlier about those issues, also. But this is not the occasion to divert our attention from the terrorists to resume old battles between ourselves. Falwell's positions are consistent, nothing new, and claiming this is judgement is an interpretation of the event, an abstraction within certain presuppositions. It is a far cry from such an event itself.

I don't care for the statements that I heard from those two, BUUUUUT ... 1) God is omniscient or He is not God at all 2) God knew this would happen 3) God allowed it to happen None of the above changes the fact that God loves all men and desires their eternal salvation. I cannot at this time discern whether there is an element of judgement in what happened, but I certainly cannot rule it out. It is certainly national in its scope, if so -- However, what should be my own response whether I can discern that or not? --> To seek a deeper relationship with God, examine my own lifestyle and not to put a stumbling block in front of those who would follow God in truth.
