God can not be mocked, you reap what you sow.|||I really don't think that God is that concerned with America's finances. I think that he expects his children to take life's hard lessons and learn to survive vs. having everything handed to them on a silver platter.
The path of least resistance, after all, doesn't always yield the greatest reward.|||(2 Timothy 3:1-5) 3 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.
|||When God saw how everyone was worshiping paper money and stock markets over him he decided to take that away from people.
Now, if you noticed that copper is worth more today than a few months ago, its another sign from God as well.
He would rather that we take up melting the precious metals and go back to worshiping metallic idols before him again, it has a prettier reflective surface and paper money does not. |||I don't think that God is allowing America to be in such a financial crisis.
I think that America is in such a financial crisis because America is fighting an unjust war and our President has decided that it is better to fight war, give those who profit from war huge tax breaks and let the rest of the world go to hell.
God has nothing to do with this.
America has been in crisis for the past eight years because so many stupid people with family values bought George Bush's lies.
The first time he won was decided by the Supreme Court. From a state where his brother was governor. If something like that had happened in a third world country Jimmy Carter would have been right over there to oversee the mess and make sure that somebody knew that they were being - well.
And then, because Mr. Bush managed to make people afraid, he was elected. For the first time.
And the disaster has just gone on and on.
This has nothing to do with God.
This has everything to do with the stupidity and arrogance of Mr. George W. Bush and his legions. And the sorry understanding of what so many Americans believed to be family values.
|||Because every time the government does the wrong thing with our hard earned tax money, it has a way of bringing a curse on this country. The Senate and congress have been out of the will of God many times---can't say whether it's half or two-thirds of the time, but they don't want to agree to pray and do God's will about many things. The details could take pages and pages to explain so this is just it in a nutshell.|||The bible says If my people would humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, then he will hear from heaven and heal our land.
That's not an exact quote, sorry, but it's really close. I can't find it in my bible right now, but I think that answers your question. I only use King James by the way. Anything else isn't a version, it's a perversion of God's word.
Anyways,
America is nowhere near confessing their wickedness, or humbling themselves. They don't believe they need God to heal our land.
There will come a day when they will realize, but until then, Christians everywhere should be praying for our country.
Also, it's easy to get caught up in material things and easy to "need" more money. I believe we've put ourselves in a financial crisis, and we could all learn to be content with what we have. God will provide.
All things work out for good to those who love God.
God bless America|||If 0bama wins, the media will be telling us the economy is turning around. We would have to have 2 consecutive quarters of negative grown in order to be in a recession. It has not happen, but the press has been claiming that we are almost in a depression. But if 0bama is elected, his tax increases on everyone (it will not be $250,000 and above) will put us into a recession. But the media will blame it on Bush.
God has his reasons for letting things happen, good or bad.|||Don't blame God for that!!!
I am a committed (or is that uncommitted?) agnostic...but I do not believe that you can escape personal responsibility for everything.God did not engineer an economic downturn...and it is NOT just America going through it. We dragged down half the world down with us.
GOD (if she exists) is NOT in the banking business!!!
|||It is NOT Only The Americans, but it is all the nation on the face of the earth, Sad to say, the world looks at the United States, to predict their own financial situation, Because they know if America falls, so will their financial situation in their Country.|||Perhaps all problems arise because looking outwardly and peripherally at ANThropology. Instead of understanding the Ant psychology, when one starts eating the Ants.. there perhaps begins the needs for crossing the Phlegethon of crisises .. Inward looking into the depths within and Vegetarianism outwardly could be a good solution to reduce the worries perhaps ..
Bhagavan Sri Sathyasai Baba says,
"When an individual seeks fulfillment outside himself, he fails; if he seeks it within himself, he is successful in obtaining it. The divine principle within us is always accessible and always responsive. Pain is felt only as long as attachment or aversion to outer forms remains. Ultimate relief from pain can come only by the effacement of the ego, by the elimination of that which reacts to one thing as pain and to another as pleasure, and whose memory and conditioning sustains the recognition of the dualities of joy and grief."

SAI RAM|||WAKE UP!!! It is not 'God' doing all this... Why do you not blame humans? Do you not think humans have some control over the financial position??? Have humans no power or something??? Do you see us all as puppets being controlled by a 'god'??? I am very confused by your question.
Answer: (I feel like I'm telling a bedtime tale to a child) Just to make you happy, I'm going to say that 'god' is going to make everything better, and all the poor people in Africa are going to get food, and everyone in USA is going to be wealthy, and there will be lots of sunshine and flowers and happiness. There. Happy?
(I am sorry if I somehow offended anyone, please do not take it personally, this is just my honest opinion.) Thanks.|||Psalms:9:17: The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Psalms:50:22: Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Ho:5:15: I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
2 Chronicles 30:9 (New King James Version)
9 For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.”

In the 1940s the west decides to build a jewish homeland from an area that still is majority muslim because the ruled it 3000 years ago, 1000 years ago muslims ruled half of the know world and inluding half of europe do we say we want it back, the FBI do not want osama for 9/11, why afghanistan, even if osama was guilty why would you attack a country beacuse they did not hand over someone with out evidence, what happened to the faires that stole the Weapons of masdestuction in iraq

this will give more info (newsarticle)
On June 5, 2006, reporter Ed Hass contacted the FBI Headquarters to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. He spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Ladens Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Ladens Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” (Source: Teamliberty.net) Click image for large format
these people rackon the only way they can fight is throught terrorism which is wrong and how do we know they are muslim.
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=x7xyd_IRgG… look at bush liying
the other probs are contridictions and miss qouting
iff if told you to your clothes are smelly take them off and then come back with clean ones and some one quotes me as saying take your clothes off then come back off course there will be trouble ( this is what happens with the kill all unbeleivers) . honestly how much did people know islam before 9/11 and you learnt it all from the media or by jut looking at parts
This is the Islamic rule for war and all military action in the sunnah ( the book in which all Islamic rules are written and has been written for almost 2000 years)
During his life, Muhammad (PBUH) gave various injunctions to his forces and adopted practices toward the conduct of war. The most important of these were summarized by Muhammad's (Peace be upon him) companion, Abu Bakr, in the form of ten rules for the Muslim army
“ Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone.
Rights of non-Muslims
The non-Muslims included in the ummah had the following rights:[17]
1. The security (dhimma) of God is equal for all groups,[18]
2. Non-Muslim members have equal political and cultural rights as Muslims. They will have autonomy and freedom of religion.[19]
3. Non-Muslims will take up arms against the enemy of the Ummah and share the cost of war. There is to be no treachery between the two.[20]
4. Non-Muslims will not be obliged to take part in religious wars of the Muslims.[21]
all these reasons are why, have you realised that the arab states are largely uneffacted as are most muslim counties it is only Pakistan who bombed it's own people ( i am pakistani, mussaraf sent my uncle who is the general in the paki army to unoffical excel to embassies and peace keeping missions around the world for 6 years)|||baptist is blah.
That's what I was raised as and it's such a restricting religion. Don't do this or you'll go to hell. Don't do that. If you don't give like 50% of your pay to the church, you'll go to hell.
Ugh.|||Gods judgment. its commin! its probably even here. America has turned her back on the Lord. America has kicked God outta everything. And the Bible Says that judgment shall come! And it will.|||friend,
it is the result of over estimating the results always positively , and thinking that US is INVINCIBLE and everything in the world depends upon it.
One reaps what he sows.
I think that is the reason.|||Simply because money and earthly things should never matter more then God to anyone, and should not be of any importance to anyone. God should be enough.
(now im not going to try and say I totally live by that....because I dont...but thats why)|||America turned their back on God, not the other way around. God is always there for America if they want to turn back to Him, but, America thinks that they are doing just fine without Him...which is a lie.
God bless.|||QURAN 2:276. God deprives usurious gains of all blessing, whereas He blesses charitable deeds with manifold increase. And God does not love anyone who is stubbornly ingrate and persists in sinful ways. |||That they may learn to not make themselves chargeable to others; that they abuse not their liberty, with the spoiling of themselves in the consumption of their selfish desires.|||Because he's not letting it, it's free will, the human race caused it and they can turn it around, divine intervention isn't going to happen with things like this.|||Not that anyone will read this since its on page 2 but

wrong they suffer the consequences for doing so . That's the
freedom he gives us . |||God knows nothing about finances.

It has been thousands of years since he has massacred whole cities.

Because America, these days, doesn't want to serve the Living God. It believes it's too smart to.
