God caused Hurricane Katrina?

Question

Do you believe that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of their sins?

If so, do you believe that God caused Hurricane Katrina?

If you answered yes to the first question but no to the second, what are you basing this on?

Answer 1

Yes - God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of their sin.

Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, "The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah is indeed great, and their sin is exceedingly grave.

Katrina - Is God the God of wrath that is shown in the Books of the law and the prophets, or has He changed?

Jesus fulfilled the law and ushered in the age of Grace.(The Greatest Book on Dispensations Truth in the World, by Clarence Larkin, 1918). According to the New Testament, Satan is the one that has come to "steal, kill, and destroy".

John 10:10 "The thief (Satan) comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have {it} abundantly.

From this verse, many think God has taken His hand of Judgment from the Earth. The "age of Grace" will come to an end soon. We may start to see where God intervenes on the behalf of His Church and start to exercise judgment.

Regardless, the Age of Grace will certainly end at the soon return when Jesus rules over the Earth as Judge during the Millennium.

Answer 2

The bible does credit God's wrath for the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Ancient Babylonian texts also reference the city of Sodom and its destruction (though they do not indicate a cause). As I do believe in the accuracy of the scriptures, I also believe in this story.

If God had intended that New Orleans be destroyed, do you think it would still be here today? Sodom isn't.

As for the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, hurricanes have been hitting the American Gulf Coast and Southern Atlantic coastlines for thousands of years. Was it God's wrath that Hugo plastered Charleston? Was it God's wrath that Andrew wiped Homestead Florida off the map? Was it God who urged men to build New Orleans below sea level in an area prone to hurricanes?
I doubt it. If anything, I would say that the destruction of New Orleans was the result of mankind's arrogance and stupidity in building a city below sea level in the hurricane zone.
Granted, God probably knew in the beginning of time that a men would build New Orleans in a place where one of His hurricanes was going to hit. I doubt there was any anger involved, but there might have been some chastisement to remind us as to who is boss.

Answer 3

Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by the raining down of fire and brimstone, not your normal, natural, everyday occurance. Instead, it was a supernatural act from God.

Katrina occured because of the laws of nature, (the interaction of hot and cold masses of air), that God had set up for the Earth that He created.

Hurricanes were occuring before there ever was a city of New Orleans.

It just so happens that New Orleans got in the way of God's natural operations of the earth.

We need to keep a sane, levelheaded, mature, observation about things and not get carried away with reactionary hysteria.

Addition,

Rp-Joe,

When lot asked if God would still destroy Sodom and Gomorrah even if there were only 5 righteous people left in the city, God told Lot that He would not destroy it.

I would suspect that there were many, many, people with the righteousness of God imputed on them living in New Orleans.
