I take it, John, that you are saying that God allowed this storm but
did not cause it. He knew it would happen but did not design it to
punish sinners. We discussed that in home church last night and
feelings were mixed.
God is omniscient, so there is no argument that He knew what would

Wrong dictionary, Linda. This "chantening" comes from a Greek word that speaks to "the opportunity to learn" or "to receive training - correction in that sense; as one would train an athlete."
In Hebrews 12:3, Jesus is receiving this same correction. It was hardly "punishment" in

Thanks for your response.
What I am saying is this: the "chastening" of Hebrews 12 has nothing to do with punishment. What happened to Job is not quite same - but in Job's case, God allowed the circumstance to continue. And, although it is not commonly taught, Job did learn some very
What the Bible
says about God’s chastening:
Deut 8: 5Thou
shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the
LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6Therefore thou
shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to
fear him. 19And it sha
So then, what do we make of 'God's timing' as to
sickness & death as opposed to the part we play in it? I refer to those who
do not attend to their own well being and, thereby shorten their own
lives.

I don’t believe that is God’s
timing when people shorten their own lives. Not everything that happens
is God’s will. He doesn’t will sin, cancer in children, or
any of the obvious “wrongs” of the world—even we who are
sinful know those things are wrong, including death. My husband observ

agree with what you've said herein. Sin is irrational (read stupid) just like
us, IMO.

No. Sin causes every one of these .. and sin is passed down
generationally; they are curses, not blessings. jt

Sin causes tooth decay? Male pattern baldness? I have seen you make this claim before. Especially the part about sin being passed down "generationally." Do you have a biblical argument for this? If so, could you lay it out for us? I am curious if any of your buds believe this, as well -

One additional thought. With regard to our pursuit of the Living Christ, which came first -- bias or revelation? Almost a redundant question.
The point? If personal bias predates our Christ experience, it would seem apparent that as we draw closer and closer to the personal reali
