Prophecy

Why are there earthquakes and typhoons in Taiwan?Charley, with characteristic charm, suggests: Interesting you should say that, Charley. Ever compare the numbers of Christians in Taiwan to the number of Christians in Israel?If your Christian God is so eager to write a blank check to Israel on religious grounds, Taiwan should get by without even asking.For that matter, I wonder if you have ever compared the proportion of Christians in the Palestinian population with the proportion of Christians in Israel's population? Another eye-opener there for you when you're ready to abandon your Sunday School stereotypes.Another silly fantasy bites the dust. Sorry, Charley.Let me suggest an alternate hypothesis for you to consider.Plate tectonics. Taiwan sits on top of a subduction zone. The island is one result of that subduction zone. You're looking at a lot of mountain-building acitivity, and that activity has pushed mountains up form the seafloor to past the sea level to create this island. That activity is still going on. And that means earthquakes. It just goes with the territory.For the typhoons, latitude and water. Cyclonic storms form in open ocean near the equator. After that they typically move westward. This happens for understandable geophysical reasons. Any land near the equator with a lot of ocean to the east--like Taiwan or Florida or Jamaica--is going to find itself rather frequently in the path of these storms.Anyone asserting that natural phenomena represent 'punishment' for religious or political behavior has to account for this: earthquakes and typhoons have been going on in all these areas since long before any of the nations or religions existed. These natural events took place in these areas thousands of years before they were even inhabited.___Edited by Archer Opterix, : typo repair.Edited by Archer Opterix, : same.

How do you know that God has not lessened the force of some of these quakes, cyclones, in respect to Taiwan. When Katrina smashed into New Orleans (gay abominators fled) it turned and spared New Orleans the full wrath of Katrina. Israel was not given a blank check, its only since 1948 that they have been a nation in Israel. God gave his word to Sarahs seed its all about the mercy of God to the whole World.If God judged Israel his own inheritance how can any nation expect a blank check in respect to Gods judgment including the USA and Taiwan.Jesus said in respect to prayer to the Father to pray not to be led into temptation and pray to be delivered from evil. I'm sure you have prayer warriors in your country as in ours, but the word says the wicked will not be acqwitted.Were moving forward in the last days hopefully you and yours will be raptured before the big earthquake bowls of wrath, in respect to Taiwan, Hawaii and all the islands fled away, etc... kjv rev 16:20kjv nahum 1:3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.kjv nahum 1:5 The mountains quake at him, and thee hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all tha tdwell therein.kjv nahum 1:6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.Edited by Charley, : No reason given.Edited by Charley, : No reason given.

ONESIMUS BY LANCE WEBB

Again you neglect to address why earthquakes occur in subduction zones and fault lines and NOT where the evil doers reside? (Taiwan being a notable exception being inhabited apparently by heathens).This is very important point as we now know what causes earthquakes and it is not some guy in the sky pulling the earthquake lever every time his subjects are in need of a reminder who is boss.Associating earthquakes with human political events is so bronze age please join us in the 21 century.If God wanted to protect Israel i think he has more resources at hand than the favorable support of the US - dontcha think?Now back to your misuse of the data.... Again the number and quality of equipment is the cause, the USGS spelled it out for you and you want to avoid it.I live in an area relatively free from earthquakes. Several years ago an earthquake of 2.5 occurred several miles deep and several miles from my office. I never felt it. Thirty years ago this quake most likely would have gone unnoticed since there would have been no sensing equipment in the area. Our ability to detect earthquakes both remote and weak has increased several fold. The timing of the a lot things occur within 24 hours of a California quake. Why California? why not in Washington, why 24 hours - is God so limited in his responses? What a deluded notion. You worship a bronze age god. Why is your god so limited in his set of responses. This is the being that created immense scale of the universe and intricate complexity of the microcosm and all he can do is send indirect messages via shaking the earth - pretty small god i say.

kjv zechariah 14:1 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be takenkjv zechariah 14:3 Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.kjv zechariah 14: But it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem;kjv zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.Edited by Charley, : No reason given.

Still no comment on why earthquakes center around subduction zones and fault lines eh?Is god not capable of making an earthquake anywhere he please or not?

If you check the strongs concordance "divers places" can mean distribution or intensity along coastlines. So we have a confirmation of scripture near fault lines, subduction is an incorrect word choice for the trench areas.There is no evidence the plates are presently subducting under the trenches which is why the area is so unstable. You might check out Walt Browns hydroplate theory for a better understanding whats happening under the trenches along the coastlines.kjv Mark 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and there shall be famines and troubles; these are the beginnings of sorrows. I agree and he has and he will again (the big one) but the Word appears to be saying that they will primarily be intensified along the coastlines.

From a quick scan of the map you have posted in post 46 it seems the areas seeing the least amount of earthquakes are Indigenous, Muslim, and Tao beliefs. (Hinduism gets off pretty light also) Christianity does get off ok in some areas of the world, but the Christian dominated US and Europe get a huge amount of Gods wrath. Buddhism however, in its various forms, seems to attract a lot of Gods attention. I cant figure this one out as I can't find any correlation to them persecuting anyone.The largest area that looks to be completely free of earthquakes is Antarctica, this being an area with the highest percent of people who are not actively observing religion, but instead practicing science.

"divers places" Oh I get it. Places where divers go diving and such - divers places along coastlines.Wow this throws some light on scripture such as I always thought that meant diverse, but now I find out that it really means diver's disease such as decompression sickness. The west coasts of North and South America are a north-south subduction zone. Plate Tectonics cause Earthquakes!!!!! Not because of a concentration of sinners or geopolitical events. No it does not. As is usually the case the literalist are not literal. Edited by iceage, : No reason given.

Well look at Russia... the godless communist are almost free of earthquakes - maybe they don't have "divers places"

Thanks, Charley. Made my day.____Edited by Archer Opterix, : title.

I was thinking of the Siberian Indigenous religion(s), how silly of me to ignore the communists. Shamanism, from the little I know of it, seems well protected in Charley's views.

Maybe those seismic stations have a hard time recording under 2 miles of ice. That still does not explain most of Canada and West Africa, which has lots of coast. I also notice Brazil is pretty earthquake free as well despite all that coast.Perhaps the correlation is more about a casual attitute toward sex. Get out that thong bikini and get right with the Lord.Canada? There must be more going on there during those long winters than we have been led to believe.

God's sparing us the earthquakes cause we legalized same-sex marriage. God loves the legal man-on-man action.

If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!
*not an actual doctor

I never said it was a good theory.The Anglagard Thong Hypothesis has some merrit, what do those scientists do in the long winters down south?

However note that quakes occur on the moon (moonquakes?). A couple of theories

The astronauts were sinners.

​

The moon is god's proving ground for new earthquake designs.
