    I'll pick number 4.

    After all, Satan is the prince of the air.

    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    Hello TexasSky.

    Gen 1:28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it...

    Rebuild it but rebuild it to take a hurrican 5. :cool:

    I think one and five are a way of looking at it but I disagree on 'location'. The earth is ours and we are to get control of it. It's important to rebuild and to get it right. Many are watching in glee show them what your made of. Face the hurricane and face your enemies down. Bush was right to say NO would be brought back on line. It sends the message that you have not been cowed.

    No 1 without doubt. No 5 is the obvious remedy.

    Cheers,

    How about 1 through 5 and adding a door number 6?

    What about God being in judgment of the reprobate, and showing mercy to the elect.

    We can add more doors as we go along!

    God NEVER punishes the innocent in any way. When God acts in judgement the innocent DO NOT suffer.

    You may ask, why do so many seemingly innocent people suffer in these tragedies?

    The reason is- They are not innocent. ALL are born into sin, All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, ALL are at enmity with GOD.

    So the innocent do not suffer. The reason that all suffer is because none are innocent. [/QB][/QUOTE]

    I have to agree with that thought. Also it it doesn't make sense to build a city in such a low lying hurricane area, when N America is so big.

    Seems that you are saying that if you followed ALL the "safe & correct" practices (physical and spiritual) then you are in no danger whatever of any "judgement" OR natural catastrophe.

    I really don't think you mean to say OR imply such, but I don't see the point of this statement sans that meaning. :confused:

    Please elaborate!

    Do you honestly believe that God has not had His hand of protection over MOST, if not ALL of this country for years, and is now withdrawing same?

    Seems to me that disasters are getting more frequent and more severe;( but it could be that I'm just more aware now or there's better coverage.)

    At any rate, I believe God IS removing His protection on this country since we told Him many years ago that He is old fashioned and no longer welcome in our public life. And, being the gentleman He is, He is slowly and quietly removing Himself and His attendent protection.

    May be wrong; just the musings of an old codger who's had God pull him from many a hole in the past!

    Faithgirl. most cities evolve. New Orleans was originally founded as a small town in a delta area. The area flooded regularly. Those floods laid down silt which is where the land for New Orleans comes from. To stop the flooding levees were built. The downside of that is that, while the flooding has stopped, the depositing of silt has also stopped. It's been theorized that one of the results of leveeing is that, while flooding is reduced, the severity of the floods that do occur will be greater. The current situation may well be evidence to support that theory.
