Now if you are a praying, Bible believer, you know instinctively in your heart that God is trying to speak to a nation and the world through human disasters. God is trying to send us a message. However, theologians and pastors all over the country even around the world are saying to their congregations in order to infotain their flock just as politicians do fearing to loose their position power otherwise: "God had nothing to do with these calamities. God would not allow such a thing to happen." Because of that thinking and because of that preaching, we are quickly losing the message and missing what God is trying to say. However, that should not stop YOU to get the point: The churches bear a responsibility for the opening up the world#120, and thus for the ease with which all the things come to pass in closed-systems for they are the only institution which claims to understand their self-destructive, e.g. evil nature and care about it and the people concerned, up to doing what it takes as Jesus Christ did. Do you find the general failure of most churches in this regard surprising? One of the reasons for this is because the churches neither identify nor explain the kind of apocalyptic events which we have seen recently. The vast majority of priests, pastors, vicars, bishops and other ecclesiastical nabobs have—either by default or design— merely served as lackeys for the powers of darkness. All they have to offer are some mumbled prayers for the victims and their families. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with such prayer per se. It is simply that if all we have to offer is such prayers—without any interpretation of history, without any placing of such events in a biblical and historical context—then we are merely contributing to an emotionalism which masquerades as compassion, and the fostering of the incapacity to discern—an inability to listen to "the music behind events", the C3-God created order and intention. Whatever happened to the prophetic aspect of preaching???!!!The US-Attorney General Ashcroft is a Pentecostal believer seemingly full of the Holy Spirit. There are prayer meetings every day in the White House. Watch the fruits: It is important to read closely the joint resolution passed by Congress, which authorizes the president "to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons." That is not a resolution based on a quest for justice. It is an open-ended invitation to attack anyone U.S. leaders decide to target.[BACK
