9/11: Where were you when Islamic terrorists attacked us? Is 30:25–26

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "In my junior year of high school. I was in my media technology class and we were one of two classes in a school of six thousand that watched the entire thing unfold....it was heart wrenching and I didn't know Messiah at that point."

 

Did you seek him them?  Or did it take a few more years? Deut 4:29.

 

"A year after that."

Response to comment [from other]: "Lived in NYC at the time. Worked in mid-town Manhattan at the time.  Fortunately, I didn't feel well that day and decided to stay home and therefore watched the events unfold on TV.  Currently, I live in PA and still work in Manhattan. My family and I moved out of NYC in 2004."

Would you say that in the presence of the victim's families? Ge 9:6, Ge 16:12

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Bigbang123 quote: "Life would be boring without tragedy and comedy. We need both."] "I would say that according to Ecclesiastes 3:4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance..."

Do you talk this way at funerals?

"Now we find Solomon seeking satisfaction in fatalism:

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace [Eccl. 3:1–8].


This is Solomon’s viewpoint as he expresses it. In our day we hear the expression, “Take life as it comes.”

There is “a time to get, and a time to lose.” You played the stock market, and you lost your money. Well, that’s the way it was to be.

You were a traveling man away from home, and a certain woman was easy to get, and you invited her up to your room. Your philosophy was that there is “a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.” Taking life as it comes is a philosophy of fatalism." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 3:116

"[N]o, but I have seen some people, ever so briefly, even smile briefly at wakes..."

Who is responsible for that? Ps 34:18. We were not created to die (Ge 2:17; Ro 5:12).

A bit of an overreaction? Israel has shown more restraint than any other nation on the planet.  

"The Living Memorial, dedicated in Nov. 2009, is the first major international memorial to 9/11 and the only site outside of New York to list the names of the nearly 3,000 men, women and children who perished in the attacks..." Full text:

CNN did. They said "Two Planes Hit World Trade Center"

I hate when planes do that (
