Don't be deceived, God isn't mocked; For whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption (death), but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life (Galatians 6:7,8).
Life & death is in the power of the tongue (Proverbs).
The sowing principle is related to what we say out loud. It is actions associated to what we say.

iamalsity, Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

Aylabaratyme, God won't be moked. People have mocked God in these answers. I know God will not be mocked. So, God is still love. But we are responsible for what we sow. We will reap. It is just a warning for everyone to sow life & not death.

immapam, Jesus said that it would be better for a person to have a weighted sling bound around their neck & thrown into the deep sea than the consequences (hell fire) of if they offend any of these little ones that belive in Him.
So, we have enemies to our children. That those children are in heaven with their LORD needs to be understood. We reap what we sow. The guy that killed them reaped what he sowed. Innocent children died in the process. It isn't God's who killed them. He warned but people didn't understand the warning. American people don't always listen to God for His direction throughout the day. At Columbine one of the christian victims was warned ahead of time. She drew pictures & wrote words of warning. People didn't understand the reality of the warning. God warns of inpending danger always, but people don't always listen.

People don't understand that sin has caused the turmoil of our weather.(and the storms in our lives) For even the rocks will cry out!
God isn't trying to clean up or remove people. It is the course of a fallen world. What God is waiting for , is for his people to call out to him to heal the land, and revive our world.

Your quotes - "Don't be deceived, God isn't mocked; For whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption (death), but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life" - are almost always misinterpreted; obviously "God" *IS* mocked all the time. The line doesn't mean that "God" won't be ridiculed or blamed; it means that "God" is not responsible for what befalls mankind. The next lines refer clearly to *KARMA*, which Judaism and Jesus understood much better than Christians ever have. Historically, Jesus was an Essene rabbi who believed in and taught reincarnation and karma. Although the Catholic church edited, altered and retranslated much of the bible (including parts of the OT), the truth of Jesus's teachings related to reincarnation and karma are there for anyone with sense enough to see them.

In the first place, the Bible is not the word of God. It is the word of people who CLAIM it to be the word of God.
Secondly, I don't blame the gods for disasters; I blame people. We take freely and do not return to the land. We kill that which we do not like, and destroy that which gets in our way. We percieve ourselves as the masters of this world.
We are wrong.
We are tenants, just like the rest of life on Earth, and the rash of natural disasters lately is a message from the landlords. If we don't start making an effort to get along, instead of trying to dominate, we may very well face eviction. The Goddess has a lot of patience, but it is not infinite.

And so you are saying that those poor young Amish girls sowed the seeds of death by what they said, causing them the disaster that befell them and cost them their live?
I think not. The innocent were killed not because of what they did or said but at the hands of others. What does God say about those situations? Why was that allowed by your God? Tell me in Your BOOK where he makes that understandable?

Amen. I posted a question a few days ago, which was more of a statement about people blaming God for there own sin. I allowed anyone who doesn't believe in God has no right and if they wanted to stop disasters then get right with God and witness to others so they two will be saved. That would be one less sinner in the world causing trouble. And as you posted what we sow is what we reap.

Many mock what they do not understand. God allows these things to happen because people are not God-fearing as they were in days of old. People lead lives of sin and have no remorse and this is the punishment that we receive for it.

God warns us that disasters will happen but he also tells us not to be afraid and to trust him coz it means the earth is running out of time may the lord draw to him all who will come so that they will be saved by Jesus' blood and may dwell with him for ever and ever and ever and ever and...

You're not making any sense at all here.
I suggest next time you gather your thoughts first, so as to avoid posting this kind of gibberish. Perhaps write them out somewhere else, and rearrange things until you've got a coherent thought on the page.

I don't mock God. I mock the concept of God. There's a big difference. I cannot mock what I know isn't there.
