who thinks that the weather oddities we have experienced is retribution for sin?

Question

btw, I live in South West Washington State and the Rosary stopped the water from coming up into my house by FEET. Why do other places get the term hurricanes when we get just about the same (gusts of 128 miles an hour) they only call them storms?

Answer 1

God is not causing the earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, and volcanic eruptions that are so often in today’s news. He is not using these to bring punishment on certain peoples. To a large extent, these are caused by natural forces that have been operating since the earth’s creation. The Bible foretold great earthquakes and food shortages for our day, but that does not mean that either God or Jesus is responsible for them, any more that a meteorologist is responsible for the weather that he forecasts. Because these are occurring along with all the other things foretold in the composite sign of the conclusion of this system of things, they are part of the evidence that the blessings of God’s Kingdom are near.-Luke 21: 11, 31.

Humans often bear heavy responsibility for harm done. In what way? Even when given ample warning, many people refuse to get out of the danger area or fail to take needed precautions.-Proverbs 22:3; compare Matthew 24:37-39.

Answer 2

A hurricane is a discrete, generally large, storm created by wind and warm water currents. You may get gusts over 128 miles an hour, but they're not accompanied by storm surges of 5 to 20 feet of water. That's where most of the damage comes from.

Answer 3

Biblical history shows that the Lord does use weather and other natural phenomena as either a judgment or to make man wake up and return to the ways of the Lord. I notice some of the countries in dire straights today that are wracked by war, famine, drought and disease. These countries have "strange gods" and so the protecting hand of the Lord has been removed. We are reminded in psalm that "All the nations that forget God will be turned into hell" During the great tribulation which is to come there will be no rain on the earth for the first half being three and a half years. This will be another "wake up call" to mankind.

Answer 4

I am sure there are technical reasons why the storm that hit you wasn't called a hurricane like the origin of the storm. The storms have nothing to do with sin. That's just silly.

Answer 5

all the jap did to 'deserve' earth quakes and tsunamis replace into to envision their society in the Pacific 'Ring of fire'. [that's fairly probably, that, such as what we've faith on the subject of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, people who commonly used a lifestyle on the Islands making up Japan in historic historic past have been somewhat refugees who were 'chased' off of significant-land Asia.]

Answer 6

Only in the sense that we haven't been good caretakers of the planet as directed by God! Obviously as Christians, we should be doing what we can to be true stewards of God's creation.

(Genesis 1:26-28; Psalm 8:6-8).

Answer 7

What oddities... even if it's out of the norm, it's not an oddity.

Now when I see an upside down tornado, then I'll wonder.

(And hurricanes have a certain formation and traits to them, it's not just wind...)

Answer 8

That strikes me as being just as ridiculous as global warming being blamed for everything that happens on earth. Just our feeble attempts to explain the unexplainable.

Answer 9

Perhaps for the sin of allowing too much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. Of course, in this case, the "god" that would be punishing you is Mother Nature.

Answer 10

Global warming explains it sufficiently. No need to think any Gods are being vengeful.
