Is God speaking to America?

Question

If God is good why does He permit great evils, such as the terrorist attacks of 11 September? Could He not, with a mere thought, stop all evil in its tracks, protecting lives and souls from destruction, physical or moral? Is not His goodness diminished when innocent people suffer at the hands of evil men?

Answer 1

Yes I believe that God is speaking to America, but America is slowly turning Her back on God, watch the News, read the papers the only time we are told on TV, In Papers and on the Radio to pray is when something bad happens. It's as if America thinks God should leave Her alone until She need Him. Sorry it does not work that way. If we don't call on God now, He may not be there when we do.

Answer 2

God is not speaking to anybody because God does not exist. He is just an imaginary friend that a lot of people talk to because they are lonely and want to believe that somebody, somewhere, really really cares about them and will solve their problems for them if they pray to him. It's pretty silly when you think about it, huh? So, there's no need to worry about whether or not God is good, because he isn't real! Bad things happen because people do bad things to each other out of selfishness, greed, or just plain meanness. Yes, it's sad that some people are like that, but there's no need to go blaming imaginary beings for it when there are real, live beings who should take the blame and the responsibility.

Answer 3

I have heard this answered by Christians to the effect of God is perfect and 100% good, so his good isn't diminished because he has his reasons that we (with our limited human brains) couldn't ever understand for allowing evil in the world. In essence, God knows why, but we could never understand it.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama .
Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer.
He has been stripped of his judgeship.



America the Beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray.

We've kept God in our temples,
how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry,
that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
if you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.

Roy Moore

Answer 5

properly, enable's see, the Bible grow to be carried out in ninety 5-ad, and Columbus got here upon the hot international in 1492-ad. My 0.33 grade math tells me that grow to be 3 years short of 1400-years. So i don't think of that God, would have had any want to speak about a continent that no one in Israel, knew some thing about. Political, militia, and geologic activities of our day were no longer forecast in the Bible. With the plausible exception of the excellent Earthquake which will mark the first day of Judgment Day, in 2 weeks.

Answer 6

#1. What evil man does - MAN does and he reaps the chaos he makes.

#2. All I hear is complaints that God should mind his own business and let us do what we want (drugs, elicit sex, etc). And these same people complain when other people get to do what they want when it brings death and misery - even the elicit sex brings spread of aids and other STDs.. So God gets griped at no matter what he does. Man proves he's dangerous on his own.

#3. The Bible tells exactly the course man will take, and also explains in detail that God will send Jesus back to the Earth at just the right time to prevent mankind from totally self inflicted genocide.

#4. Whether God interferes or not, mankind remains evil (in general with some exception) and completely ignores God.., some even inventing new gods and religions to spite the one true God. God is proving himself in all thats going on in the world today..., delivering judgments on stubborn nations who refuse to give up their love of making others miserable.., and on those who enjoy living in perversion, living contrary to the design he made man for (sexual immorality being number one on the list)

#5. God does not answer to me -God does not answer to you. He created mankind and mankind answers to he who formed it. It does not matter if you agree with the way things are running. God did not make man to kill man. That desire comes from within mankind himself and is the sin nature he acquired from Adam and Eve. This is why Jesus came.., to offer life whereby through Adam only death and misery came (through sin).

#5. It is up to every individual to decide to accept Christ or reject him. God offered us life, and at every turn the many reject him. I could go on - but this is all plain enough. God's judgment is being passed down - and as he forewarned us.., mankind would get more evil, just in the days of Noah before the flood.

Answer 7

Because Eventually, HE has to. We force HIM to. We don't Repent.
That helped alot, didn't it.
It is Complicated.
In its Simple Form:
GOD was Kicked out of the Creation.
Were Running the Show on our Own.

Spiritual Law: you reap what you sow

Alot of Times, GOD holds off alot of Crops. Dosen't let us Harvest them. Trying to get us to Change our Ways (repent). If we go on in sowing bad Seed (sin) Eventually, GOD takes off HIS Protection and Bingo--guess who's there to bring in the Crop--satan, and he kills, steals and destroys.

The Laws were set in Motion befor Mankind entered the Earth (or satan either).
If were sinning, GOD Protects us for a while, if we repent befor the "no turning back point", GOD can lessen the outcome of our sin's.
BUT if we don't Repent and keep on sinning, We will Reap, pretty much, a Full Crop of Destruction.
Sinning opens the Door for satan and his crew to destroy us--some to the point of death and then some, death itself.
GOD can Help most of the Time. Alot if we Repent.

And Thats the Way it Is, Feb. 19, 2007.

Hope that helped.

Answer 9

I believe God shows people certain tragedies to instigate that spark of humanity, to stimulate their very sole, and get people to step up and stop these tragedies from continuing.

God works through people, from their inner being, what ever religion they are, he works through them for one goal in mind, peace, promote peace.

People cause these tragedies, and I believe God tries to work through people to fix them with his wisdom, the power of knowledge, love and understanding.

Answer 10

God comes right back at ya and says "why do you permit it?"
