Marijuana Crop Is Burning in the California Wildfires

[catfish1957]

Did this become a religious thread?

Scratching my head too.  I've heard some have gotten religious experiences with this stuff, but there is no smoke coming off this thread.

[RoosGirl]

Apparently my suggestion that the topic of taxes be avoided for a couple days was a total bleep up.

@KingsX

Yeah, I didn't expect a response.

You might have been waiting for my response [which I just now posted]  with bated breath...
but I was busy being Martha, not Mary,  I had to make dinner and clean the kitchen.

God knows. 

Not even a sparrow dies outside of the will of God.

Sometimes even the righteous die young to protect them from a greater evil ahead [Isaiah 57:1]   King Josiah, the last righteous king of the Southern Kingdom of Israel [Judah],  is an example.  Israel was living in sinful rebellion against God and was doomed to destruction.  But when the king read the forgotten books of God's law,  he knew God's sword of doom was hovering over them and he repented and tried to enact righteous reforms [like getting the sodomites out of God's temple.]  Because King Josiah repented and enacted righteous reforms,  God told the king he would not witness the judgment of God, the horrific destruction of Jerusalem and the temple that God was going to bring upon the sinful nation via Babylon and Edom. Later King Josiah died from battle wounds... ironically it was a battle of Israelites against Egyptians who were crossing God's holy land to fight against Babylon.

Think about this... if God punished a sinful Israel whose king repented and tried to make righteous reforms... what would God do to a nation that doesn't repent and continues to embrace  abominable evil ??

Are you generally accustomed to quoting your own posts?

Sometimes stuff happens.  Like weather.  Natural disasters.  You know, that kind of thing.  They just happen, and they suck, and we're supposed to have the decency not to dance in the streets over it.

Judges 4:21

    “But Jael, Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.”

Is Colorado on fire, too?

Then Barak arrived. Cannot have a thread about pot without including him.

Barak?  Which verse of he Koran are you going to quote?

Umm...Judges 4:22

Umm...Judges 4:22

And behold, as Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael went out to meet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” So he went in to her tent, and there lay Sisera dead, with the tent peg in his temple.


How many times have you had to chat with police about matters like this?

This quote might hit some of the posters here where it hurts...  especially the wine part.


It will come about at that time That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the men who are stagnant in spirit, who say in their hearts, 'The LORD will not do good or evil!'

Moreover, their wealth will become plunder And their houses desolate; Yes, they will build houses but not inhabit them, And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.

Zephaniah 1:12



Or, how about this... God telling His people to rejoice over the destruction of prophetic Babylon.


Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!

Rev 18:20

Right?  Buncha drunks up in this place.

Moreover, their wealth will become plunder And their houses desolate; Yes, they will build houses but not inhabit them, And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.

That's exactly right.  What you fail to understand is that anyone who could celebrate what's happening in California has a spirit as stagnant as a mosquito-infested puddle.

@KingsX Can you get specific?  I know you probably have me on ignore, but if you don't, who here are you saying are going to Hell?  Just curious.

Somehow this has become the strangest thread I have seen in a while.

My lawyer has advised me that I should not answer that question.

You're probably okay if you didn't space out why you went away from the computer...Did you get that bottle?

That's an interesting question. 

Can I assume you are referring to a Dante type of "hell"  ??

In the Bible, sheol, which is sometimes translated "hell"  is the grave.

Unless some of us are alive at Jesus' second coming,  we are all going to "hell", ie, the grave.

No.  I fell down.
