On Katrina and Judgment — quote of the day

21 August 2009 · by  3 Comments

From the blog of a conservative Baptist pastor:

“More than a few preachers have said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s judgment on New Orleans. Which is apparently why it almost destroyed New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and left the French Quarter in place.”

Father Orthoduck wonders whether this means that every time a hurricane hits the Bible belt . . . . Uhm, Father Orthoduck has decided to not finish his thought.

A God of ‘impossible possibilities’. Resist your enemies and love them. Ignore hypocritical spiritual leaders and obey them. Forget what’s in your past and be careful to remember. Flee from evil and stand firm against it. Don’t judge and judge rightly. There is a mystery to be embraced in the Scriptures because, in the process, we discover God in a different way. After all, it is God who chose to reveal himself this way. The ancient Hebrews called it “halakic reasoning”–holding both strands of a paradox in tension and balance, and knowing that, with God, both sides must be true “……
