I don’t regret having fought to defend this guy’s right to speak, but, by God, I wish he wouldn’t abuse it so:
The Catch the Fire Ministries has tried to blame the bushfires disaster on laws decriminalising abortion in Victoria.
The evangelical church’s leader, Pastor Danny Nalliah, claimed he had a dream about raging fires on October 21 last year and that he woke with “a flash from the Spirit of God: that His conditional protection has been removed from the nation of Australia, in particular Victoria, for approving the slaughter of innocent children in the womb”.
Which makes Nalliah the Hilaly of the Pentacostal faith.

Then how does he explain Job?
ReplyDeleteI think this is meant to be a particular revelation about this situation.Danny Nahliah is a fine evangelist and pastor, and is famous for being persecuted under Victoria's religious vilification laws for running seminars teaching christians how to talk to Muslims. His worst "crime" was quoting the Koran!As a prophet, however, Danny is a failure, because that is not his gifting. Before the last election he predicted that John Howard would be re-elected as Prime Minister. Not only did he lose the election, he became only the second PM to lose his seat in Parliament.There are a lot of things that could be said about Australia's national sins which God might be want to judging, but I actually think that abortion is not related to this event. Greed, selfishness, total apathy towards God, the woeful state of our tribal aboriginal people, our treatment of refugees-- there is a long list of things which God might want to be addressing. The fact is that I feel like this is just a natural disaster.One of the good things about Australia is that we handle disasters remarkably well. I guess we have lots of practice. The various agencies, government and otherwise, usually seem to come together like a machine to make sure that people are cared for as well as possible. That makes a big difference in incidents like this so that the loss of life is minimised.
