May God Comfort the Grieving People, especially the Parents in Oklahoma and
may God Severely Censure
the Lies of the Calvinists
The Good News of Jesus Christ: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son…”
John 3:16
“Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, 14but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19: 13-14
Contrast that
with this Horrid News of the Reformed:-(

“Here is…the formation of the tornado that began in Newcastle, Oklahoma which later moved to Moor, Oklahoma…it is the finger of God.”
Calvinist Joel Taylor
And March 5, 2012, during last year’s tornados:
“Why would God reach down his hand and drag his fierce fingers across rural America killing at least 38 people with 90 tornadoes in 12 states, and leaving some small towns with scarcely a building standing, including churches?
…God alone has the last say in where and how the wind blows. If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command…
Jesus rules the wind. The tornadoes were his.”
Calvinist John Piper
And John Calvin says “…no wind ever arises or increases except by God’s express command.”
Institutes of the Christian Religion Chapter XVI
Here is an opposing comment on this abusive theology of Calvinism:
“Piper’s god is like an abusive father, filled with unpredictable rage. His family must walk on eggshells, afraid of suddenly enraging him. Should he be provoked, this god will lash out with deadly, earthquakes, tsunamis, violence and war."
"When his family cries out in anguish, he reminds them that they deserve no better. They are despicable, rotten to the core, so even in their pain they are doing “better than they deserve.” The fact that any have been spared merely proves his “love.”
“This theology is, in a word, abusive, for it blames the victim for whatever calamity, abuse, or tragedy she suffers and says it is deserved."
"According to this theology, the children who died in Oklahoma this week got what they 'deserved.'”
"The victims of the Boston bombing got what they 'deserved.'"
"The people caught in the Twin Towers on 9-11 got what the 'deserved.'”
"The victims of the Holocaust got what they “deserved.”
"If you think this theology is merely cerebral, with no real-world implications, consider the case of Sovereign Grace Ministries...”
