Gods Judgement
... So in his mercy to the children of the depraved, he roots out the deadly CANCER, ravaging the society in order to save it.
So your saying then that, God passed judgement on the Sumatra region, and routed out the evil by way of the tsunami?
If such is the case then I am a little confused, because I was under the belief that Jesus came, so that God would not vent his wrath on the world. Now maybe my interpretation is wrong, but I have always considered these verses in John, to mean that there will be no judgement until the end.
Jhn 12:47-48 If any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
So could you please explain where I have gone wrong Buzsaw?
(no need for the 'mean Evo's' {kidding} to say, 'believing in God, in the first place' )

Does it seem ludicrous to anyone else, that we (and I include myself in this) are argueing over the cause and who is responsible? Seriously we can nit pick this till the cows come home, but at the end of the day, regardless of why, how or who, I think I owe it to fellow man to be above such pedantics. My apologies if I have offended anyone with my posts.
Buzsaw, I am going to concede my point, purely because I don't have the stomach for this debate. Sorry.
Shaz
