The Indian Ocean tsunami killed 275,000 people...?

Question

Are you saying that if they all accepted Jesus as their personal savior they could have avoided the wrath of God? Or was this the work of the devil?

Answer 1

To answer that lets take a look at the Gospel of Luke (13:4) reproduced from an encounter involving Jesus. Jesus was asked, "Was the fall of the tower of Siloam a punishment for specific sins, and thus an act of God?" No. Jesus taught a simple physics lesson: people who happen to be standing next to a tower that happens to fall will happen to get crushed and happen to get killed. The same with tsunami's. That's all there is to it. It had nothing to do with the wrath of God.

Answer 2

We didn't have any choice now did we?? The last time India played an ODI was in early 2013 & that was against England in the home series. Now Veeru, Ghauti, Yuvi, Zaheer, Nehra are all out & new personnel have come in. It wasn't something we could have predicted but the selectors have made some sweeping changes keeping the 2014 WC in mind! Its a refreshing change now for Rohit Sharma's **** a hoop after his success in the recently concluded IPL 2013, 6th edition. Plus he's taken the added responsibility of baulking the side!Shikhar Dhawan should always have been testing Ghauti's spot since 2006, when Ghauti started failing in his average, his (Shikhar's) entry has come late into the Indian side but better late than never! He's a swashbuckling player & is looking like the combined strength of Viru+Ghauti in the CT 2013! Jadeja has a point to prove besides some contributions in the lower order will be crucial in low scoring games. Dhoni, Raina can both guide him as seasoned pros. India pulled a rabbit out of the hat picking Dinesh Karthick, he's firing on all cylinders now & is a 2nd keeper option So the Indian team's batting is awesome but a major Achilles heel is in the bowling…the last win was by a very few runs & many bowlers didn't distinguish themselves, mainly Ishant & Umesh. Jadeja & Raina did well to put the brakes on the scoring, so that may be the way to go forward. A strong pacer like Shami Ahmed was needed for this outing

Answer 3

I think statements like this are unnecessarily provocative. I don't think it was "the wrath of God" which killed them. It was the inability of people to use currently available technology at very little extra expense which killed them.

Answer 4

It wasn't an act of God OR the work of the devil. Simply mother nature doing her thing. As long as the earth stands there will be tornados, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, etc....

Answer 5

I accept Jesus as Savior and I would have died if I was there....

but I would have gone to heaven after. Accepting Jesus does not stop earthly death, but spiritual.

David

Answer 6

They would have gone to heaven,but even saved people die,and only God knows the reason,not pompous self-proclaimed intellectuals trying to make some cynical,who gives a sh!t point !

Answer 7

who knows,there was a under the ocean volcanic eruption, it could have been a natural thing and then God's getting tired of sin,look what he did for Sodom and Gomorrah

Answer 8

Tribulation is not the wrath of God.

Answer 9

I dont know how people could watch the tsunami, and then say that Noah's ark is unrealistic?

Answer 10

this was the result of a fallen world. and who knows how many of those people were believers. for the ones that were believers, their soul will live forever in heaven, for those that were not believers, their souls will live forever in hell separated from God
