There are two reasons I don't say this. One is that it goes beyond, and is contrary to, what the Bible teaches. The other is that it undermines the very hope it wants to offer.

I get so angry when people spout off like this and don't have a clue about what they are saying.

The principle that the author states is against the teachings of the bible is found with Joseph and his brothers. So much for being against the bible.

And just because he thinks that this explanation should be offering hope does not mean that it is offering hope. all it means is that he thinks it should be offering hope. I have never thought that this biblical principle offers any hope. It merely offers an explanation of what happens.

I have yet to see God kill anyone. Jesus said that it is the devil that comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. I mean, that is pretty clear to me.

There is a prophecy just recently given, but clearly years ago, that America will return to her roots of dependency upon the Lord Jesus Christ before he returns, and he is returning soon, sooner than you think. Much sooner. If you understand what Jesus was saying in Matt 21:20-32, you will see that he will return before 2008.

So I can tell you that what we are seeing is but one example of evil that the devil meant for bad to America that has already done some good. People are turning off sitcoms, and not looking to sports as much. They are waking up and saying, "What is really important?" And they are flocking more to church on Sunday than in any recent time looking for the answer, and in the right place- they are looking to God for the answer.
