Beverly: In today’s Psalm, David praises God for getting him out of a bad scrape with an enemy. He talks about how God protected him since he was in God’s favor and worshiped God in the right way. What does that mean, though? Some preachers on TV blame hurricanes on people who they don’t like or don’t agree with. Or they say that they were spared from a natural disaster because God protected them. Does that mean God hates the people in Japan who died after the tidal wave or the people on that plane in Malaysia? Or the people killed by the mudslide in Washington? Does it mean that because we survived a hurricane that God somehow loves us more?
Jack: For me, I don’t believe that God would kill hundreds of people just because they did something wrong. The Bible says that God is a forgiving God and I wouldn’t believe that God would kill that many people like that, or kill anybody, for that matter. Even if they are not Christian or if they don’t believe in any god or goddess, which is not a sin or something to kill for. God is forgiving and will always forgive anyone no matter what.
