If the bible predicted natural disasters?

There is no way of warning someone of a tragic event that we don't know the date of. Someone could predict that you will die by an anvil falling on your head while you're walking outside, but they don't know when or where. The only way to surely avoid this death is to stay inside all of your life, and that's no way to live.

^Hey look! I provided a comical/hypothetical example for all you slowpokes =)

Neither! All Bible prophecy is fulfilled. (Luke 21:22: "Because these are the days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.")

This will be the next reformation in Christianity. End times were simply the Last Days of the Old Covenant World. That's why the new testament letters attest to its imminency, within a generation, to those standing there, to those who 'pierced' Him. His coming was linked to the destruction of Jerusalem, which happened in AD70. The Great Tribulation preceeded it, with the Beast (Nero) persecuting the believers. John wrote Revelation, declaring himself to be "with them in the tribulation of the saints."

This view goes against creeds and traditions, but it honors the Bible in every way. We just have to rethink the nature and purpose of the 2nd Coming, and realize that it had nothing to do with destroying the planet... just abolishing the Temple and bringing judgment on the city that stoned the prophets and crucified its Savior.

The Bible doesn't predict anything about the Haiti disaster. But it does give you a few rules to live by. I really love the last one - If you work on Sunday, you must be put to death. Leviticus 20:9 If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. 20:10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. 20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death. Deuteronomy 22:20-1 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. Exodus 35:2 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death.

I suggest it is the Wicked Witch of the North. But I am not picking on you or laughing at you, I am, I hope, laughing with you. I myself just a few minutes ago added a couple of comments to my question regarding Atheism being a Potemkin village and too late I realized I let a "you" slip by that should have been "your." I had two reasons to answer this question, one of “witch” it is a very interesting question. I actually agree with you for the most part but you seem to have missed some things that would add credence to your question, both some possibilities and realities.

I disagree with both The Truth Hurts! Ouch! and you, and will explain why. Regarding Pesh88 and your response to him, nor am I worried and I agree with you. I also find distasteful to an extreme the “holier then thou attitude” so many of them display. Shara’s answer must have been deleted so I cannot comment on that. Sarah’s, however, I find to be merely matter of fact and no firm indication of either coldness or warmth, but were I to judge based solely on her answer and after doing some extrapolating, I would suggest she is a very warm and caring individual.

My second reason for answering this has, I feel, now been satisfied. But to repeat, I have added some further details to my question. However, as far as the first and primary reason I am answering this question, I want to again state that for the most part I agree with you. I am needing to take care of some things that will take a few hours but I wanted to take care of reason number two fairly quickly. I can, with great confidence, tell you that when I offer my edit I will have easily earned a Best Answer even if, as has oft happened, I am not awarded it. If I make a claim, I am ever ready to back it up, and as always, my claims stand and my record speaks for itself and again in this case it will speak for me. The only difficulty I see myself facing is trying to avoid overkill.

It just occurred to me that what is blatant to me may be obscure to others. Sarah did not say we should not help those in other countries, she merely pointed out that we should help those closest to us first who are in similar difficulty. Allow me this one rhetorical question: Were there to be a tornado in your town, would you leave your neighborhood to help those across town or would you first help your next door neighbor who is trapped inside his now-destroyed home?

Some people believe the earth will end fire or either in ice.

My belief is that the earth will end when it's supposed to end.

For one, I'm a Christian and didn't know about 9/11 until it happened;

also didn't know when Hurricane Katrina happened-Jesus said that even himself,

"I don't know the hour of time that I am coming."

For one thing, America needs to help America first. Why does America only help those that get disasters and not its own country?

That's what Penn and Teller said about the "prophecies" of 9/11. If people supposedly knew, why didn't they warn anyone?

No prophecy is legitimate unless it comes with specifics. The alleged prophecies of the bible have been applied to events repeatedly over many years. How can they claim that a prophecy they declared fulfilled by something 50 years is being fulfilled AGAIN now? It's like, "Oh, wait... no... THIS is the event it's talking about. We got it wrong last time... yeah... that's it."

It's bogus witchcraft and fortune-telling they are supposed to shun according to other passages in their little book.

"why are the fundies who keep shouting that the bibles prophesies are coming true, not warning people before the disasters strike..."

Ha ha ha! You really don't know what you're talking about, do you. The Bible does not give an exact time and place for its predictions, only the season. We are in that season right now, my friend.

When the Bible was written natural disasters were seen as supernatural events: God intervening to punish wicked people, cities, etc. So to warn the wicked would be seen as doing contrary to the will of God.

The Bible has told us God has feet and makes thud sounds in the garden he created.

He also could not find what he created saying " Where are you?"

Are we to believe this creature called God knows not what it made and cannot find them?

Captain's Log Supplemental - We are orbiting a strange planet where people worship a man named Jesus!

Full analysis of the subject proves he is not there! For he has Risen. We also found that most of these human species lack much intelligence. I would say it is something they tell each other in hypocrisy.

The Bible also says that Israel will flurish again. Do you think it had anything to do with people planting things in the ground and putting water on them and letting the sun make them grow?

Spock what do you make of all this.

Jim, it is apparent that we should never enter the surface of this planet, it is full of corruption and viri

The Bible is full of warnings which many refuse to listen to anyway. It is our job to recognize these predictions and obey God's Word.
