The Sabbath- a much misunderstood Bible Text

Just a bump so my question doesn't get lost.

God Bless!

 

I believe God killed many infants, children and men and women in the flood. Far more than in Sept 11 of 2001 in NY.

I believe the tall buildings in NY were skyscrapers claimed to be "fireproof".

I believe that the point of the works of man - built to glorify man and based on money that is in some cases aquired on the backs of the poor is a charge that can be applied to any large city.

Note - I am just sticking with the obvious here.

BTW - there are also statements there about the large cost of the Civil war and the North being right in fighting against slavery but being punished for allowing it to continue for so long.

Many "uncomfortable" ideas for for sinful world.

In the case of the Sabeans in the story of Job - their attack on Job and his family was not a "vindication" of their pagan ideas.

This is also true of the pagan nations that won victories against Israel. It was never a case of the "God's vindication" of those pagan nations that attacked His people. The fact that God allows something to happen - only after giving warning after warning - is not a kind of "validation" of whatever pagan army is used as a tool in the event.

However - as to "why" - this is the focus of a thread on "Sabbath and a much misunderstood text" is beyond me.

In Christ,
