I wonder if part of God's punishment on America is by not even giving it a mention in the scriptures.

I'm pretty sure America isn't mentioned in the Bible because the people who wrote the Bible couldn't see into the future.
Suspiciously, polar bears, penguins, and the mighty platypus aren't mentioned in the Bible either. Is God punishing them, too?
Not to mention Hawaii, Australia, South America, China, Japan, ...
Yeah but don't feel to bad, he isn't punishing you, YOUR name is in the bible.
"And God did send an angel to make a twinkle in the stable, so people could see betwixt the cattle. And the light that angel gave was very bright, and the drunken shepherds followed it across the lawn."
Galaxians 14:23
Hope that cheers ya up.
Oh yes, that´s right.
The countries in Northamerica, in Soiuth america aren´t mentioned. Not even Australia, Great Britain, France, the Vatican or Germany.
These countries must truely be founded by the devil if god doesn´t mentions them in his book ;)
Well, seems like the only thing you can do to escape gods wrath is, to move to israel or one of the neighboring countries ;)
Twinkle, Columbus wasn't even a twinkle in his granddaddy's eye when the scriptures were written. In fact, the people back then had no concept of North or South America, Australia, the Antarctic, the Arctic Circle, New Zealand, the Galapagos...
It's not a punishment. It's lack of knowledge. Get that through your thick skull, will you?
Right. God forseen that America would rebel against him, even if just for a moment, so he decided that it should not be mentioned in the bible. But then again, the word rapture, nor the idea is mentioned. Neither is the word trinity. Nor is their a definitive list of what books should be in the bible mentioned there either. They were arbitrarily decided out of all the books available to them. There's tons of people, places, and things not mentioned in the bible; this means those who wrote it had no idea of their existence. I wonder if this means that the bible was written by men, and men only, with absolutely no inspiration whatsoever. What makes America so great, that you guys seem to think that it's somehow 'god's chosen nation'? You think that all of gods plans and will and dealings somehow center on America. How egotistical of you.
Hey, wait a minute every other day, you goofballs are announcing how well Bible "prophecy" fits America, and denouncing everyone else for being too demon-blinded to see it.
I am fascinated by this entry. It is utterly impervious to logic or rational thought. Attempts to address the error with historical explanation would be useless. Rationality would bounce off of Twinkle like rain off a roof.
This is not the result of stupidity. Assuming that Twinkle generated this statement by herself, it reflects the warping of her mind. Some very clever people have removed her facility for critical analysis and programmed her like a very smart android. What has happened to Twinkle is a crime against humanity.
Whether we realize it or not, we are in deep shit. Twinkle votes, can be instructed to take social actions (abortion protests) and perhaps can be convinced to commit acts of violence (Army of Joel). Exactly how do we go about de-progamming millions of our fellow citizens?
I'm beginning to wonder how people like this twit are able to survive at least one single day.
Don't they cross streets?
What is it, that keeps them alive?
MfG
Just...just shut up. Please. The Bible is not a frickin' Almanac. And maybe...just maybe...America is not relevant to the End Times. Hmmmm? It's existence having no weight on the events at all.
Or it could just be the goat-herding prophets never imagined that we would exist. Whatever floats your boat.
@ Dexter, "What is it, that keeps them alive?"
The safety regulations built into every facet of our society. Example of a fundy too stupid to be alive.
When I was working in a North Queensland railway maintenance yard, we had a super fundie who managed somehow to stay in the 'pit' as a fully operational diesel locomotive shunted a line of rollingstock above his head. He was spotted after the loco had passed over him, kneeling in front of his bible, praying.
He claimed that he was so wrapped up in his conversation with Jesus that he didn't know the loco was there. He was taken out the back, severely shaken up and verbally abused by at least four of us. We then reported him to our bosses and said he was an unacceptable safety risk to us and that we wouldn't work with him. he was transferred to another depot shortly after.
Not to mention the other 226 countries and principalities that aren't either.
And lo, Jesus didst go unto the land of Luxembourg and unto the land of Lichtenstein and didst preach unto the people of Andorra to go the the promised lands of San Marino and of Monaco.
And lo, the people of the lands of the United Kingdom and the people of the land of Sweden didst cry out unto the Lord, "Where the fuck is thy Atlas?"
C'mon, even though the God of the Bible is fictional, and has the temperament of a five year old, not even he is that bloody stupid.
IF the bible had mentioned America (or even hinted about the existence of unknown lands) or anything else that would have been beyond the imagination of the primitive people who wrote it, then it just might be worth considering as something more than the collection of mythology, folklore, and propaganda that it actually is.
Hm, let's see, the Bible is what? 2,000 years old? Of course America, Japan, and the rest of the world would not have been mentioned because they did not know that these places existed.
How is not being mentioned in the Scriptures a punishment???
Every human being alive today is not mentioned in the Scriptures.
Monty Python is not mentioned in the Scriptures.
The planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are not mentioned in the Scriptures.
Most of the today's nations are not mentioned in the Scriptures.
Epic Fail. Not Heroic Fail or Paragon Fail. EPIC FAIL!!!
at first I was like 0_0
....and then I LOLed.
This one was a genuine L O L.
Also, tell that to the Mormons. Their wacky Christian beliefs are no less wacky than yours are.
Confused?
