If nothing else, OBW's comments about our "founding fathers" highlights similar concerns we have all had about the "founding fathers" in the so-called Recovery. It is an often hidden fact to the general public that both political and church leaders will use their own versions of history to enhance their allure with their followers.
The forum has repeatedly debunked all notions that Luther, Guyon, Zinzendorf, Darby, Nee, or Lee were ever the sole oracles of God for any age, and neither have them or their followers been uniquely bestowed with God's special blessings and revelations.
Likewise, if America is the most blessed nation on earth, why are we just about the only place on earth that is regularly hit with destructive tornadoes? And to think that it is all the "red state" conservatives that are in tornado "alley," makes it all the more notable. These fine folks are partly spearheading the Tea Party movement with a return to all of America's basic core fundamental beliefs, including putting God back in our schools. A state like OK should be the most blessed place on earth, but instead they have been regularly hit with both natural calamities and terrorists like McVeigh.
The question was posed somewhere that if God wanted to warn us, how would He do it? The answer is His Spirit working in the hearts of God's children, and convicting the unbelievers of their sin. "
He who has an ear, let him hear with the Spirit is speaking to the churches." The Book of Revelation shows clearly that many people, no matter now much "warning" God will send to earth in the form of natural and supernatural calamities, will still curse God.
