Today's idiot files: Jesus is warning "godless nation's" via tsunamis

[Bluebear]

Matthew 24:7, "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famine's, and pestilence's, and earthquake's, in diver's place's."

Diver's place's!!!! Underwater!!!!! How many more earthquake's and fire's and flood's do YOU need to make JESUS your personal SAVER????? =^/

GODLESS NATION'S AWAKE! Except Him TODAY before it is too late, Jesus is trying to TELL you something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Granted, you see it all on yahoo boards but this takes the everlovin' cake.

[politicaholic]

1. Okay, I "except" him today.

Exception granted.

[area51]

48. ROTFL (n/t)

[evil genius]

2. at the very least, you should correct the atrocious grammar.

[Bluebear]

6. I think it's part of the ambience of the post, though

Don't you? The grammar and sale-priced apostrophes show the intellect.

[proudbluestater]

52. Bluebear, indeed the grammar is part of the charm

Glad you left it as is.

[donheld]

22. I say don't correct the grammar

that lets us see how they are.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. English...

As a second language. Martian as the first.

But I am sure that were you to ask him, he would say that he has been annointed with the gift of interpretation. :eyes:

[jdj]

47. Or maybe he's telling rich white people to keep their asses off

of the natural resources of brown people's countries? Just a thought.

[stevedeshazer]

4. Just the apostrophe abuse itself is enough to warrant a ban from heaven

Seriously, this is a disturbed person.

[bunkerbuster1]

40. Ever notice that it's usually Freepers who have the apostrophe problem?

Apostles... apostrophes... coinkiedink?

[stevedeshazer]

50. Maybe so....

But shouldn't it be Apostle's...apostrophe's...coinkiedink's?

:)

[Slickriddles]

55. Don't forget apostates. n/t

[dweller]

5. Except Him....?

7. What did this freak have to say about

the Oklahoma City bombing?

[Bluebear]

9. Where ya been, Z, Happy Holidays to ya!

[Cha]

15. Layin' Low..watching tons of

DVDs! :D

Happy New Year, Bluebear! :party: whoopee!

[Piperay]

14. Yeah and the WTC

oh, of course, that was in NYC and we all know that they are nothing but "Godless Liberals". :eyes: *sarcasm*

[musette_sf]

8. LOL! Yeah. I'm sure Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

just LOVED to watch "Sea Hunt", that is, when they weren't eating moldy bread and hallucinating.

"Divers" is a synonym for "diverse". What a maroon, "diver's place's (sic)" bwahahahahaha.

Also would love to see the King Shrub Version of the bible where plurals = possessives. Maybe this is the version that newspaper bundled with the Sunday papers a few weeks ago?

[rooboy]

10. Diver's Places??? LOL !!!! n/t

[WoodrowFan]

57. oh my yes

I think I wet myself laughing so hard at that one!!!

[rooboy]

11. God said to Noah "There's gonna be a floody floody..." n/t

[Bluebear]

17. Didn't God promise not to destroy the earth by flood?

And gave the rainbow as a sign of His promise after the Noah thing? What gives with these people?

[Walt Starr]

12. What does this freak say about Florida going red?

and fur hurricanes?

[Withywindle]

13. I hate people like this

with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns.

"Only I, the Imperial Christian, know the correct interpretation of your national tragedies! Admit I'm right this instant! You can bury your dead kids later! It doesn't matter, they're all in Hell anyway!"


Does this moron think "divers places" means "diver's places" instead of an archaic spelling of diverse?? Wow.

[journalist3072]

16. Clarification

For your clarification, in this case, divers has nothing to do with underwater. If you look it up in the dictionary, divers means "various."

So the scripture can be interpreted as "divers (various) places."

[Bluebear]

18. Yes, thank you, I realized

:)

[AllyCat]

39. And that explanation would be great if not for the

unfortunate grammatical error in the original post making a possessive of the word diver rather than the adjective you have accurately defined.

[jayfish]

19. Why Does Jesus Have To Kill 60 Thousand+

in order to send us a message? Wouldn't a brief appearance on the Tonight Show be a bit more humane and efficient?

Jay

[journalist3072]

20. Response

First, let me just say, respectfully, that I find your post to be somewhat irreverant.

Secondly, I believe that this is all a part of God's judgement upon this earth. These are events that have to be fulfilled because they have already been ordained.

And it's not up to us to question why this happened. Our Father allows certain events to happen, and He knows why. It's not always up to us to figure out the 'why.'

[Straight Shooter]

24. You're kidding, right?

I think the tectonic plates had something to do with it, not "the Father" waggling his cosmic finger in the waters and causing a mighty wave.

[journalist3072]

33. No

Not, I'm not joking. I'm very serious.

All I am trying to convey is that the Father ALLOWED this to happen. It's part of the events that must be fulfilled according to his Word.

And my heart goes out to every single person affected by this tragedy. My heart has been so heavy for them.

But even in the midst of this, God's goodness prevails. We are not in control of what happens here on Earth, but my comfort and joy comes from knowing who IS in control.

[Walt Starr]

35. Then I won't have anything to do with your Father

IMO, your Father who ALLOWED this to happen is evil.

[shadowknows69]

59. well that kind of blows the whole man has free will thing

been there, done that, used to wear the t-shirt. What got me out of christianity was people like you.

[Bluebear]

25. Interesting perspective from a journalist

So, you must think everything you report on is pre-ordained to happen?

[jayfish]

27. That's All Well And Good But,...

I think that the point of the inane quote posted above was that this was a specific message from Jesus. One last thing; if these events have been ordained by God, then what is the point of proselytizing? Even if everyone in that region claimed Jesus as his/her personal savior, they would be dead anyway. It was ordained.

Jay

[Walt Starr]

28. You're joking, right?

Seriously, you ARE joking, right?

:wtf:

[BeTheChange]

36. Oh Goodness..

/hands you a book to duck behind.

[AllyCat]

37. Then you are not a Christian either

All of these crazy ideas about God punishing us are completely contrary to what Christ preached. He was very much against the doctrine of retribution espoused by many religions at that time, now painstakingly recreated for our modern times by a bunch of religious zealots.

God is not punishing us! The earth moves. It does not stay stagnant and unchanging for our benefit. Sometimes, we are in the way of natural events created to maintain the continuity of the rest of the world.

[The Magistrate]

43. One Small Point, Mr. Journalist

It seems to me rather out of decent bounds to accuse a person who clearly does not share your beliefs to be "irreverant" in his expression. You may believe whatever you please, but no one else is under the slightest obligation to regard anything you believe with reverance, though they have some obligation to tolerate the diference between your views and their own.

"Where it is a duty to worship the sun, it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat."

[donco6]

46. Ha!

What a maroon.

[WoodrowFan]

58. a top 10 list on Letterman would work (NT)

[POAS]

21. Repent Florida's repent

God is sending you a massage with hurricanes in diver's place's.

[Taxloss]

23. Come on mods, lock this!

What, the Godzilla post was flamebait but this isn't?

[Bluebear]

26. Sorry you think I am flamebaiting.

I thought the prospect that someone thought "diver's places" meant underwater too rich. Sorry you're offended.

[Taxloss]

29. On the contrary, I thought your post was very funny

As was the Godzilla one, which got locked. I was hoping to draw attention to a discrepancy.

Out of interest, why on Earth would you hang out on Yahoo message boards?

[Bluebear]

30. Morbid curiousity?

Just when my confidence in the human race is restored, I have to remind myself LOL.

PS How is the coverage in the UK? We're just now seeing some intense coverage since Christmas is no longer being "attacked".

[jayfish]

31. "Major Combat Operations Have Ended. "

That was a great post!

Jay

[Taxloss]

32. The Tsunami coverage is thorough and excellent.

Usual high BBC standards. One gripe: no extra time made. All the bulletins are within scheduled news windows. If it was the Atlantic, things would be different ...

How was Christmas being "attacked"? RW commercialism? I didn't hear about this.

[Bluebear]

34. Au contraire, the evil lefties were saying "Happy holidays"....

instead of "Merry Christmas" and the obedient media made it a big story for a good week. Cheers and happy New year to you!

[Taxloss]

38. What on Earth? How is that news??!!

I was with mu family in the countryside for a week, didn't have internet - how is people saying "happy holidays" a plot against Christmas? Were there DU posts about it? What the bunk is going on?

[Bluebear]

42. Here's a few threads

44. That's astonishing.

I mean, really, talk about the US turning into Iran.

Do you have any links to articles actually accusing the left of this?

45. "Christian shoppers demand to be greeted with Merry Christmas"

RALEIGH, N.C. — This year, as Christmas season swung into gear, Pastor Patrick Wooden's followers fanned out to shopping malls across Raleigh to deliver a muscular message of holiday cheer: As Christian shoppers, they would like to be greeted with the phrase "Merry Christmas" — not a bland "Happy Holidays" — and stores that failed to do so would risk losing their business.

Nearly six weeks later, some Raleigh residents are seething over what they see as an attempt to force religion into the public square. But others say "Merry Christmas" is rolling off their tongues more easily and more often than in previous years. Emboldened by their victories in November's elections, conservative Christians nationwide have converged around the topic of Christmas, contending that secularists and nonbelievers have tried to obliterate the holiday's religious meaning.

In Oklahoma and Florida, local skirmishes have erupted over the display of nativity scenes on government property; a California man has called for a boycott of Macy's and Bloomingdale's department stores, demanding the phrase "Merry Christmas" be used; in Denver, the mayor's attempt to remove "Merry Christmas" from a light display raised such a howl of protest that he reversed his decision.

In Raleigh, the grass-roots campaigning has focused on retailers. And it has been so invigorating that the church is making plans for

41. He can create waves, but not speak on Evening News in plain speech?

warnings much clearer in plain words on the tv news. Surely he could walk up behind Peter Jennings and say whatever HE wished to say.

Jennings would be scared speechless... wouldnt you? {who is that behind me... god??????}

[Disturbed]

49. Don't you wish that ...

Jesus would show up tommorow and take all of his followers with him back to heaven. It would also be nice if Alah showed up and took his flock to heaven, as well. Hmmm...would that be the same heaven or are there sub divisions?

[proudbluestater]

51. If that is the case, I think God warned Florida FIRST

with three hurricanes in quick succession. Didn't seem to have an impact on Jeb; they stole another election.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

53. Not only bigoted, but ignorant

The island of Sumatra and Kerala province in India are two of the most Christian areas in South Asia.

[essarhaddon]

54. Primitive thinking

Some fundamentalist Christians remind me of those primitive men who thought volcanic eruptions happened just because "the mountain is angry". They simply see a lightning storm and they wonder what God is trying to say.

[liberalhistorian]

56. ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a Christian, things like this make me SICK SICK SICK!!!! These are the people Jesus meant when he said, "you call my name, but truly, I do not know you!" They have totally twisted and distorted Christianity, and their hateful, bigoted, mean-spiritedness doesn't help, either. This is NOT true Christianity, and these people are NOT true Christians!

[orpupilofnature57]

60. Jesus, warned all nations.Warned mostly about blind ambition

[Uzybone]

61. What was the flu of the early 1900s telling

the mostly Christian nation called USA. Or the black death telling mostly Christian Europe. I guess to "except" Jaysusss even more?

[Piperay]

62. Maybe God is warning

people they shouldn't fuck with Mother Nature. Yeah, I know that global warming most likely had nothing to do with this but still God might want people to see the awesome power of nature and think about that. God might want repugs to see that they should work with nature instead of against it because "Mother Nature bats last".
