Hurricane Irene and The Long Island Express Hurricane of 1938

As we wait for Irene to impact the East Coast, many are making a comparison to the The Long Island Express Hurricane of 1938.  Seems Irene's projected path is similar to that of the path in 1938.

  John P. McTernan authored a book named As America has Done to Israel.  He tells of the Nazi movement within our country in the late 30s.   Perhaps with Irene God is warning us concerning our treatment of Israel:

Genesis 12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Another Fair and Balanced post to the eBay Soapbox

I post to threads like this not for the majority of those who post here as your minds are made up as is your right. My concern is for those who come into the soapbox, read posts and don't post themselves. So for anyone interested in relevant information.

How do we know the Bible is true?

BTW, one of my favorite contributors is Chuck Missler. As an engineer he gets into the science of the Bible, something that appeals to my technical background.

Witnessing

I try to bring a little bit of Christian thought into an eBay chat room that seem to be to be rather anti-Christian.  This is a typical posting I made 8/13/2011.
I'm not ignoring you strange, we've had off and on thunderstorms here in SW Michigan. Years ago I blew a mother board likely due to a slow power outage. The lights turned yellow in intensity before going out. The tech thought this did the job on my motherboard. So at the first sign of a thunderstorm I take my computer off the grip.

Luckily my Nextbook has a long battery and plays MP3 in addition to lots of other goodies. So during the latest round of storms I listened to one of Chuck Missler's teaching on the Book of Geneses, good information.

As for Jesus talking about the least of these, I wonder who is meant by the least of these. Jesus mentions my brethren so is He talking about our treatment of the Jewish people, if so we're in deep trouble IMO. Jesus said to help widows and orphans and of course He healed the blind, lame, etc. In Jesus' day woman were a rather second class. Today many widow either have their own work history or can draw on their late husband's benefits. I think orphans are more or less cared for in this country. Now was Jesus talking about people who will not take responsibility for themselves and/or their childred? As for me, I prefer to support faith based organizations who help people who are in great need, need for clean drinking water, netting to prevent malaria, etc.

Since there is so much interest in the Matthew 25  I'll try to start a thread.

Is the Demand that the Rich Pay Even Higher Taxes Covetousness? I Say Yes!

  I did a search for the keyword covet in the Holy Bible and found 39 related verses.  God hates covetousness and included it in the Ten Commandments.
Exodus 20:17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.Exodus 20:16-18

More to follow on this subject.  Good night and God bless!

Good News Bad News - Zion Gas and Oil

   The good news is that my shares in Zion Gas and Oil didn't go down in the free fall of today's market. The bad news is that the stock was already at a very low point.  I have to remind myself that I bought these shares more to support oil exploration in Israel that to make a profit.  I take the Holy Bible as God's Word:Genesis 12:3

King James Version (KJV)

³And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

  Add to that my love for Israel, money well spent. 

In The Beginning God

With these four words begins the Holy Bible and the greatest adventure of my life.
