Always refer to the Bible when you want to test the truth about something. Never follow after men, or women, hanging on their every word. Don't listen to me unless you can back up what I say from your reading of the Bible. If you are following Jesus and trusting in Him alone He has promised to send you His Spirit to show you what the Bible means. People can muddy the issue and lead you astray, but if you read the Bible and pray for the Spirit's guidance you are in the best hands of all. When we sincerely desire to know God's will He will guide us. However it may not be an easy path you have started on, but it will be the best.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
