As few as 25 years ago, many thousands of people in Texas and Florida would have died from the effects of Harvey and Irma.

As of a day or two ago, the combined deaths in those states was less than 100.

Why?

Did God have mercy?

Nope. People had Science.

Better forecasting and communication systems resulted in better preparation and many, many fewer deaths.

Thanks technology!

It's interesting that Jennifer Lawrence says Mother Nature is made at Donald Trump being elected and moonbats don't bat an eye. But a preacher actually says God is in control and he uses storms, and people go nuts.

Just her opinion. The preacher is a paid employee of god.

See the difference?

That was people being lead by the spirit unknowingly lol.


The bible speaks about Alexander the great who didn't know anything of the bible, but God used him and he became king of the world in his 20's, it was his pride of believing that he did it by his own hand that brought him down to a humiliating end ten years later.


Spirit filled scientist Trout.


But you are correct, just 25 years ago, thousands would have died.


Only problem is, technology has to end, man has effectively accomplished building the tower of Babel, and it has to fall lest man become like God.

He is a paid employee of his followers. God does not write pay checks.

What's wrong with being like GOD, if GOD IS LOVE?

You didn't see the news articles or hear it? I saw a friend mentioned it, and googled it.
