When the WTC happened, the crime rate lowered and there were less abortions performed. However, people are now getting back to their old ways. I think God is thinking of something else to make us see. I think Armagedden is really soon...

I think He does. It's amazing how much kinder and gentler people are when disasters happen. However, it doesn't last very long.

Absolutely not. We people create those things by our stupidity, our carelessness and our differences, as well as because of the way we're manipulated by the powerful into emphasising those differences. If we put those things down to a superior being, there is nothing we can do to change it, and catastrophes will continue to exist. On the other hand, if we assume we are partially responsible for those things (at least, for those things we DON'T do) we are on our long way to stop those stupid inevitable massacres.
Sorry to say this, because you're not a bad person, but just a victim of religions, but this is where I think religions are the worst enemy of humankind, when they make us watch still and passive the destruction of our civilisation. Stand up and move! It's up to us, much more than we'd think!

Things like the WTC attack happened b/c we live in a fallen world, a world full of sin. But, the day will come when God will judge the earth. Also, God does not use evil against us, that's what Satan does. God tests us, Satan attacks us.

I don't believe that God makes bad things happen at all. People do. Or nature. I have never understood why people call natural disasters an "act of God."

I would suggest you read the case described in the book of Job, because You and I are Job, satan does things and blames God useing your mouth, God does allow things but we live in A world where there is a 100% death rate, and sometimes He allows things to get folks attention to that fact. Armagedden is a interesting subject free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com God bless you.

God will not destroy his creation only man dose, people simply come together out of compassion for one another, disasters natural or accidental brings us closer because we need help, I hope you are not suggesting God will start Armageddon because he wont because he has absolutely nothing to do with it , man sure as hell will though and you are right it is not far off.

i think you've been hitting the pipe too much. and btw how could god cause an 'accident'? an accident by definition is not caused by something or someone. it is merely a confidential link of events. maybe you'd like to believe that armageddon (<--notice the proper spelling) is coming soon. maybe you should dig yourself a bomb shelter and stay there. and stop filling up this forum with asinine theories.

actually WTC happened because certain people feel a certain way and get really retarded ideas. Things like New Orleans and everything are all scientifically explained

Yeah, which is why I don't believe in "accidents" - I know He's in control of everything and everything happens for a reason.
And yes, I think that the end times are very close...
Peace

no(James 1:13) 13 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.
Jehovah God never causes what is bad. The Bible says: “Far be it from the true God to act wickedly, and the Almighty to act unjustly!”—Job 34:10.
The Bible clearly states: “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” (1 John 5:19) When you think about it, does that not make sense? This world reflects the personality of the invisible spirit creature who is “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) Satan is hateful, deceptive, and cruel. So the world, under his influence, is full of hatred, deceit, and cruelty. That is one reason why there is so much suffering.
