remember that? I know you dont agree. I disagree with you.
The civil war was the judgement of God visited upon this country for the sin of slavery. period.
Uh....I have a hard time digesting that....the Civil War was the result of human nature......what was God judging America for during all the other wars that were fought outside our borders?

Bro. I have no intention of arguing this. It is my opinion. I aint changing.
However, there has never been any war that America has been involved in that brought about the distruction on this nation that compares to the CW.
More Americans died in that war than in all the other wars America has been involved in COMBINED.
100 years after that war, the south had not fully recovered from the devistation. one could argue that the South still has not as it lags behind the rest of the country in poverty etc. although it seems that is starting to change.

If you would like we can compare Lady Gaga to the likes of biblical figures that God judged. Kora was swollowed by the earth. Ananias (sp) was struck dead.
Saul was utterly defeated and killed himself.
Pharoh was forced by God into a suicide act.
Jezibell was eaten by dogs.
I bet every one of them would have traded that for lupus.
(By the way Lady Gaga is anything but a lady and represents all that is unholy in my humble opinion)

Well, let's see....if we equate sickness and illness, even early death with God's judgment, then God is really ticked off at a lot of Pentecostals.........

I dont think we disagree. my point is, Gaga is rather nasty but God isnt mad at her. Its silly to suggest that.
God does visit judgement at times. it is rare but when it happens it is utterly complete.

Agreed totally. Lincoln the greatest President himself said the war was Gods judgment. As far as Gaga I dont know anything about her except a few instances of ungodliness reported on the net.
So Im not speaking particularly about her situation. Who knows at this point she may not even have Lupus.
But I want to be faithful to make the GENERAL STATEMENT that the God of the Bible DOES judge peoplefor sins in various ways. If one does not understand that they need to wise up. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
We dont know why he judges some of the wicked up front in this life and others he does not. But nonetheless Christians should be advised that he still can bring judgment any time he sees fit.

Can you tell the difference between a sickness sent by God in punishment and a sickness that just happens? Say, to a believer? A really good believer? Or to an unbeliever who isn't particularly sinful?
