I couldn't get the video either, any idea what it showed?
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Soldiers Spooked By New Orleans Spirits(Video), Battle Hymn of the Republic wrote:
"I think that the Lord is gathering the last of his believers before the rapture, and will gather many many more during the 7 year tribulation."
"We think Katrina was bad... that is nothing compared to what will happen. People come to God when "all hell breaks loose", but unfortunately, most will not repent."
I find this very hard to reconcile with the concept of a loving, merciful God.
The news story made it sound like the Bible was referring to bodies of those killed in NO. In actuality it is referring to the bodies of the two Witnesses.
Total mis-interpretation of scripture in the news story...IMO.
Hopefully, this is just a prank or coincidence.
"I find this very hard to reconcile with the concept of a loving, merciful God"
Then you surely don't want to read Joshua.
It's just that hoodoo voodoo that yoda.....oh wait that's not quite right.
"I find this very hard to reconcile with the concept of a loving, merciful God."
Maybe because your an idiot and don't know anything about theology?
Whole darn city is as haunted as can be. I've been there thrice and I'm convinced of it. Never had a good night's sleep there, not one night, and that's just not me. Hubby says it's because I'm Catholic, the ghosts don't bother him because he's a Presbyterian.
bump for later review
there is no such thing as coincidence. Prank is possible but who knows...
bookmark for later video viewing.
I got a strong feeling of evil there (Catholic too) when I went to a conference. My friend who is a born-again Christian and stayed there for a summer told me the same thing.
For the most part, I agree. But I will wait until God tells me there really aren't any coincidences.
I can certainly see how every thing might be perfectly timed and worked out in advance...but then who knows the mind of God. That is unless you can point me to Scripture.
You mean reality doesn't jibe with your preconceived notions of what God is supposed to be?
Damn, that's a shame.
LOL!
Checkout the video in post 18. It is a real ghost story.
Revelation 10 (KING JAMES VERSION)
1And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
8And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Revelation 11
1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
3And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
14The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
15And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
16And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
17Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
18And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
19And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
No one knows the mind of God, but we can get a glimpse of it through knowing Jesus.
John 14
5: Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6: Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7: If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
