It’s a risk we all take when we post an opinion.
That last statement is the most important. I’d like to hear everyone respond with a simple statement to that effect: I don’t know, I cannot know, and you cannot, either. God will not be glorified by a falsehood and this anecedote is completely unverifiable. It should be ignored.
I think he was just too embarassed to admit that his ‘member’ was still down for the count. i mean, look its only been 20 minutes since the last workout. It needs some time to recharge.
I didn’t read the link, but that is sort of what I was thinking…does that mean that God loves the one lady more than the other lady - I mean if one lady was protected and the other was allowed to be raped?
In any thread that I start I say ‘be nice’ because whenever you get catholics and protestants talking about something, it seems whether big or small, a lot of mud slinging ensues… It just a reminder to check the attitudes at the door…
You are precisely on target, Valke2. The question “Could it happen?” is not a very useful question.
The problem I have with the story is not that the girl was saved by Angels - that part is very believable.
That happens all the time. In the philippines there is a famous tourist spot: a low tower not far from Mayon Volcano. The story was, the Volcano errupted and the villagers all flocked into the Church praying and begging God for salvation. Well, they got to heaven more sooner than necessary when the volcanic lava burried them and the entire village. The only thing left gazing the sky was the church bell tower.
Amen!
So,… if ANY person on the planet (or even further afield) is hurt after someone is “saved” by angels,… it’s difficult to believe in angels…?
Why do some folks have a need for an “all or nothing” conditionality when it comes to things “religious”…?It would make more sense if the man was converted on the spot and resolved never to try to hurt anyone again - then, I would believe that the Angels were really there, because that is the sort of thing that the Angels of my acquaintance would do.
i ia oe. Aloha nui.I believe in angels and that God is active in our lives. But what keeps me on the edge about these types of stories is what is the response to the second lady who was raped? Did she not pray enough? Does God not love her as much as He loves the first lady that passed by unharmed?
No, that’s not what I’m saying.
What does the story about the laborers who were all paid the same whether they worked all day, or worked for only an hour tell you?
What concern is that of yours…!?
What you are saying is, “Why wasn’t everyone (in the vicinity) saved from harm?”
That’snice, but that was that situation, and can’t be used as a “template” for all actions of the angels,… now can it?
So, unless an angel acts as you would, regardless of their superior goodness and almost all-knowing perception, they can’t be REAL angels?
Please think about what you are saying.
i ia oe. Aloha nui.
