Where Was God At Beslan? (Archbishop of Canterbury-Moslem Perps to be 'Cast into the Sea')
IC Wales ^ | 9/6/04 | Aled Blake

Posted on 09/06/2004 7:12:32 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

The slaughter at Beslan was so horrific it was enough to test the faith of the most committed of Christians, Archbishop Rowan Williams said at the weeks end.

Williams has admitted that the slaughter had led him to momentarily question his faith in God.

He said it would be inhuman not to question one's beliefs in the light of such evil.

Dr. Williams said that the terrorists had perpetrated the most evil kind of action imaginable and insisted that the murdered children had not been abandoned by God.

The Archbisop quoted the Bible in which Jesus said it would be better for people who committed such offences against children to have millstones around their necks and to be cast out into the sea.

'He is in the middle of all the suffering and He is weeping for all creation and all those involved. All we can do is pray for the sorrowful and the dead.'

Virtuosityonline.org reports she has come down hard on the Eames commission to make sure that the orthodox are not excluded from the Angican church by the liberal gay establishment.

The vested interest in destroying the CofE is in the hands of the "shadowy forces" she mentioned earlier last year or so. The head of the CofE has been a freemason since the church broke from Rome. I think Queen Elizabeth is not a freemason even though her husband is a big one. She may face a sudden demise if she revives the CofE after it has been nearly demolished by the forces of darkness. Homosexuality has always been a tool of the fallen angels and of those against humanity- it is a tool to control humans, to demoralize and devide the human family. It denigrates women, shortens life spans etc. The queen, according to the reports has made a firm statement. Check out the reports.

Glad to hear it.

Thanks.

She's certainly one tough lady.

BTW, do you think she was behind Diana's termination?

God was not there --- but ALLA was!!!! That is the real truth.

Both were there. Different teams.

Where was God? As depicted in Isaiah Chapter 6, working His plan.

Mr. Williams would do well to not put so much faith in his own understanding but rely on God no matter what he experiences.

When I see these things take place I look up for my redemption draweth nigh. Anyone who studies the word should be strenthened in their faith. The Bible is great at telling us what the nature of man is and what evil is like.

A holy-war mindset will bring NOTHING of good.

Precisely. It will only serve to inflame and support the armies of those who oppose us.

C of E = Church of England
There was no group behind Diana's death save overzealous papparazzi. Sure many dreamed of such an event but driving and drinking don't mix.

"Worse things than this have happened in history"

Worse? As bad maybe but worse? I don't think so.

I'd like to invite you to see The Anglican Catholic Church. Many disaffected Episcopalians formed it in the 70s. There is nothing PC about us.

Matt 2:16
Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

I'm pretty sure that there were more than 300 children killed there.

If the Archbishop of Canterbury questions his faith in God at the time like this, then the man's faith is thin indeed.
These murders were committed by men determined to prove that they could be God - that they possessed the power of life and death.
It would have been more appropriate for the Archbishop to confirm that when he heard of these murders, his faith in the ultimate power and justice of God was strengthened.

Agree about driving and drinking.

Stillllll, seems rather implausible that Diana's guards would have missed the driver being drunk--or her, for that matter.

And, couldn't the blood sample have been planted? Clever people can make airplanes disappear on live TV . . . after all.

Still, I don't know enough about it to insist on a conspiracy. I just don't trust the crown a whole lot--toooooo many puppet masters running around loose wanting the Crown to be included in their plans.

Thanks for your kind reply.

Pretty theologically shallow comment. God permits evil (doesn't cause it) for the good that can come out of this tragedy. Maybe God was kicked out of the school there like He has been here in the USA.

I heard another way to think of this. It is an unseen reality that there is a ferocious war going on between good and evil. Every now and then the veil is penetrated by the flames of this war and we can visibly see what's happening.

The struggle is a hive struggle and the winner takes all = kingship and control of heavan and earth. We are the pawns, the unwitting pawns who fight by proxy for the sleeping gods.

But as Jesus explained "as it is on earth so it will be in heaven." There is some linkage between the two (heaven and earth) spiritually, probably due to the spiritual gift by jesus. His spirit created the church and is the linkage of humans on earth to the inhabitants of heaven. All those in heaven - on both sides - want this planet for their own purposes. We are mere flies and ants to be eliminated if need be. Best to choose wisely; the choice is either to serve heaven or be ruled by the other guys.
