The Lord has in the past used ungodly men to act as his instrument of chastisement for a wicked and unrepentant world.

There can be little question that that's precisely what he's doing today. As someone (maybe around here) said recently, "Looking for the Chastisement? This is it!"

[rdcbn]

Yup, and we are doing it to ourselves because we increasingly have abandoned God, rejected his word and rebelled against his intentions for us

God is simply allowing us go our way without him and its not working out so well for us.

Even agnostics and atheists are coming to the realization that a world absent of God is not a very good place to be

[rdcbn]

As the Leftys are so fond of saying, “Its a teaching moment” but so many are blind to fact that class is in session

Chastisement? More like revelation, revealing what is at the heart of the Roman Catholic religion.

Catholics have the most bizarre thinking on how Jesus treats His church.

He will rebuke His church as He did in Revelation 2&3 but He does not send wolves in sheep’s clothing who ravish the church to *chastise* His bride.

Besides, God has already given us instructions in His word on church discipline and how to deal with immorality in Scripture. It’s up to those who claim to follow Him to follow those instructions that He left. When your religion’s leadership starts obeying what God has already clearly laid our before them, THEN you can expect to see God act, but i don’t see how He’s under any onligation to bail you guys out as long as you continue to disobey Him.
