I wouldn't say God brought up Katrina from the start. But just like with Israel/Judah back in the day, God lifts protection from those who constantly reject and ignore Him.I can relate somewhat about the urgency in the US.

I live in the US. I am against this bill, but it's chances are small (I would think). Even if it does pass, you can always claim religous exemption Moriet. But ultimately, we should simply trust our Father.

During the time when the returned exiles used adonai (lord) instead of YHWH, they believed saying the name YHWH was blasphemy (at least that's the common thought). If that's true, the moment Jesus would have said YHWH would've resulted in an immediate accusation, but there is none to be found.Could it have been possible that he “bit the bullet”…[Read more]

What?

Good point David, very similar to Is 1:18 's point about the days of the week.Anyway, one of the thing about this that makes me uncomfortable is the supposed connection of the Hebrew word for Baal to the English word “God.” From Jamie's post, it seems the evidence for the connection is from the vowel pointing of “gad” in the Hebrew texts.
