Who are WE to question God?? You can come up with all kinds of questions that will be truly inexplicable; I used to spend a lot of time thinking to myself “How could God always, ALWAYS have been here??” He had no mother, no father, He had no beginning, and He has no end. The fact that I couldn’t figure it out would bother me until I started thinking about or doing something else. You could drive yourself crazy with those kinds of questions. What it really boils down to is Faith; either you have it or you don’t.

I also think our brains are ill-equipped to handle such questions. Our minds are finite and cannot comprehend everything. God’s Mind and Will are infinite; He comprehends *everything.* I believe when our bodies die, and we go to Heaven, we will understand everything as well. Until then, I would pray that you just stop trying to answer incomprehensible questions. Faith is not based upon logic (logic, as our finite minds understand it), but simple belief in Him and His Word.

BTW, I do not support Mark Arnold; I think his story is false, as is the man himself. I also think he was a “false prophet” (or perhaps a couple of cards short of a full deck), and I hope he can turn his life around and come back to God, instead of trying to use his position as pastor and his false prophesy to receive money via his website.

I believe that word of knowledge came to pass since Saxby Chambliss is now elected because now the republicans have a fighting chance just like when Esther received favor with the king, though he couldn’t undo Hamons hate for the Jews, the Jews had a fighting chance. The fact that Sarah Palin came to assist Saxby Chambliss with his election.

Is God’s approval the same as God approving of it? If God planned everything from the beginning, Satan is not doing anything but being directed by God, right?

I don’t really expect a reply. I have yet to get a direct one for my previous question. And that one was easy. But I’d appreciate if someone tried. Otherwise this will be the last thing I remember.

“The only one that is going to bring the end of the world is Satan, with Gods approval.” God’s approval.

Actually madmonq, the only one that is going to bring the end of the world is Satan, with Gods approval. Its nobody’s fault, that is just the way it is going to be according to the bible. And I am not here to argue with anyone, you are free to believe what you want but you cannott expect to come onto a blog like this and expect people to agree with you. I wish you no harm, God bless you…

The roots of Charismatic Assembly of God Pentecostalism are completely different from the roots of Bob Jones type Fundamental Evangelicals, they may appear superficially the same. I often wonder about the Genius of the Atwater and Rove School picking a Charismatic to do the job for the Evangelical right, but that’s probably too paranoid. Obama is on the U niter not a divider thing now, so I suggest either doing that or going after the Newt/Delay/Bob Jones wing of the right? It’s technical, but just look at the roots of Pentecostalism, they are not Bob Jones. And Obama is already talking to Lindsey Graham/McCain as well as considering input from Sarah Palin.

I don’t disagree with what dummidumwit is saying. I take issue with my alledged moral superiors on the political and religious right not living up to their BS. Rather living down to it for political gain. To them, those on the political left are supposed to be lowly and immoral. What is it called when they do it? Hypocritical, lowly and immoral. Like Sarah Palin.

This whole post was about God choosing Palin for his superior politcal purposes. But this thread has gone on long enough that some are saying it’s OK that she was a lying weasel for God’s superior political purposes? The rest seemed to be focusing on her “persecution” rather than addressing her behavior and examining their own paranoia.

Quite frankly I’m tired of hearing American Christians whine about their persecution, getting involved in people’s personal lives, blaming others for the end of the world blah blah when they are part of the problem, not the solution.

Sorry for the rant.

I could care less if the left takes me seriously. And dummindumbwit is right, Sarah was just doing her job. Besides that she never called Obama a terroist.She suggested that he had alot of bad associates and thats the truth. The man is questionable and that is just a fact. But its over now and the country has spoken. We have to accept the outcome and pray for this man. I sincerely hope he does what is right for out country. I don’t think anybody wants our country to fall apart, we all love this nation but we also need to be watching every move him and the mostly Democratic Congress and House makes. Afterall, it is our country and they are working for us, and that is true of every administration wheter it is Republican or Democratic.

In all due fairness, mainstream MSNBC talking heads routinely call Bush and Cheney murderers, asking a Church in general or Sarah Palin in particular to apologize for standard operating procedure that has been in effect since Atwater through Rove is probably overly optimistic. Obama won and ke’s not asking for an apology. VP’s are attack dogs, thats the way it is, Sarah did her jpb.

You’re kidding, right? To suggest otherwise indicates a very, very naive viewpoint or directly pretending otherwise. Which would be lying. If anyone has been paying attention these last few months you know exactly what I’m talking about. So I’ll repeat

If you want to be taken seriously by those on the left, can you please address all the lies and slander repeated by Palin in her bid for office? When they pretty much called Obama a terrorist? And yes slander occured on both sides.

Shouldn’t she apologize for this?
