Didn't he warn us in the bible that there would be earthquakes...etc?...didn't he warn us about the flood?
According to the bible...HE warns....HE does
An Old Argument.... does it hold water?

Great comment, cantleave! Definitely something everyone can identify with, given the whole healthcare debate happening south of me. If indeed, doctors have a moral responsibility for providing care if they have the power to do so, all the more for an all powerful being
who can eradicate all sickness and catastrophe.
A great comment... IF... faith was the payment, and not the 'medicine'. Even a doctor can't heal you if you don't take the medicine you need; or get the rest he tells you to get; or whatever.

Still, if I warn my children to get into the basement because a tornado is coming, it does not mean that I sent the tornado to them.

My answer is still the same. I'm not sure why you think it would be different with the addition of the full quote?
Because first you were referring to God...then YOU changed it to christ. ...and you still haven't answered...how do you know that? You stated it as a fact.
He did not sent a tsunami to kill people..tec

Didn't he warn them, then send a flood?
How can that be compared to a parent warning a child?
Unless you are saying to your child...do as I say...or I will kill you....then I suppose you could have a point.

Ah. I see what you are not understanding about my faith. I know God BY knowing Christ. I see God BY seeing Christ. So if I am uncertain about something about God... then I look at Christ to understand the truth about God, in any matter.
Do you understand what I am saying?

Bu saying faith is a neccessity you are in effect reflecting the JW mentality, that most of the world's population are not deserving.

Didn't he warn them, then send a flood?
Ah... if he did send a literal flood, then yes he both sent it AND warned that he was sending it. Or perhaps the people attributed it to Him sending it, when He was just warning them of something that was coming? Or perhaps it was the only way to end a greater evil? I do not know for certain. So again, I look to Christ.
