In the Old Testament, if God was going to destroy sinners He always announced it. I.e: a volcano didn’t just one day erupt near Sodom and Gomorrah. God first told Abraham what He was doing, and why. Then Lot and his family were told. The fiancés of Lot’s two daughters were warned also.

Jesus cautioned against citing natural disasters from a Holier Than Thou POV. Jesus’ message is that we’re all sinners, and we all need the same thing: repentance and faith in Jesus.

VERY GOOD! These days if I turn on the news and see a disaster, I'm not gonna assume God did it like Harold camping and some of these doom and gloom people did.

Unless a credible prophet who is good and righteous warns me otherwise I wont believe it.

Kyle told me about that before he gave me the article. BTW, Sodom and Goomorrah were destroyed by an underground explosion of gas not a volcano.
