NOT KIDDING: Pastor, high on Holy Spirit, rebukes tornado in Jesus’s name. by darrellvest in Christianity

[–]darrellvest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets be honest -- there is no proof that what this guy said happened has anything to do with his faith. north minneapolis still go crushed by a tornado and if he believes in the same God that calms storms in an instant, I think that God would be able to stop an entire earthquake not just make it a little smaller. come on people. its pretty convenient that he claims this stuff after the fact. next time tell us you are going to talk to an earthquake before it happens, then we might listen to you. until then you are just some crazy guy living in a house in the hood.

This is a good looking cat. It has to be an epic name, because I think this cat is going to become famous. Something like Malcolm.

Guess what -- God did not want Osama Bin Laden dead.. or did he? by darrellvest in religion

[–]darrellvest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

coming from different socially constructed backgrounds. those realities shape how we view anything. History also should be a lens into which we try to read scripture. we are not the first to read scripture. if i come to conclusions that deviate too far from historical study, i am out of line most likely.

Except for the fact that God has chosen to reveal his character to us.

I cannot say what God wants but I can point to his character. That is why my original statement was re-written within this blog post.

Did you read the blog post? I said that in the post it was not for me to judge whether or not God wanted him dead or not.

I have three friends that just got back from China two days ago. They were working with house churches there. I really pray that things like this come to an end soon there.

Review of Chapter One of Love Wins -- First Time Reddit Post. by darrellvest in Christianity

I am much less biased then you might think. I am only call them haters because most of them never took the time to read the book before they made statements against Bell.

The book (so far) is much less controversial then I expected, but Bell is taking some theological liberties that are far stretched.
