ttbn,
That article stank with pro-Israeli bias right from the opening paragraph.

The guy bemoans western aid to Palestine, fine I'm happy to give them nothing.
Why don't you let them develop their own resources and let them live in peace in their own state then.

>>"The Occupied Palestinian Territory lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in Area C of the occupied West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip. However, occupation continues to prevent Palestinians from developing their energy fields so as to exploit and benefit from such assets," said the study conducted by UNCTAD in 2019.

The new resources of oil and natural gas finds in the Eastern Mediterranean are valued at an astounding $524bn. However, according to the UN report, a significant portion of those assets will have to be sourced from within the occupied territory of Palestine.<<

You know what I find really frustrating about the world in 2024.
Pretty much everyone who writes an article in the mainstream talks complete rubbish. And it's really sad, because just as often than not, all I have to do is spend 1 minute looking things up and finding some other snippet of info that the author omitted - that put a completely different slant on the rubbish they are trying to sell.

He got one thing right, our leaders are weak.
The answer there is simple, they're not statesmen.
They're not actual leaders, they're branch managers.
Slimy little sell-outs doing the bidding of others, because they're owned by others.

Hi Paul,

'Euthanasing people helps heighten my sexual gratification'

Yes, truth is sometimes crazier than fiction.
You just couldn't make some of this stuff up if you tried.

ttbn,
- The last article link you added

>>Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.<<

'they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents'

why is it that 'disobey you parents' is in there
why is it 'disobey your parents' is a sin as bad as anything

It seems very cultish and fanatical.
Like the standard teenager stand up to your parents rebellion thing just isn't allowed.
'If you do not respect my authoritah you are Work of the devil! You must be stoned to death dear child!'

I'm honestly not at all surprised this stonage religion is being relegated back to the stoneage.

AC,

“You might be thinking that the title of this article is hyperbolic, but it’s not. I’m being both serious and sincere in my contention that the nation of Australia is currently experiencing the wrath of God. This is demonstrated by the prevalence of wickedness which exists throughout our land. While things could always get worse, it’s my hope in writing this that the Lord may use it to lead His people to repentance and so revive the work of the Gospel in this place. (2 Chron. 7:14)”

There's the first paragraph. Where is Israel mentioned?

I didn’t see anything about Israel in the article. I've had another quick look. Nothing about Israel. Nothing about gas.

Are you sure you have the right article: “Is Australia Under the Judgement of God”

I added no “last” links. I added no links. I merely put in a reference to an article about Australia and God, written by Mark Powell, and categorised as ‘Australia/Biblical.

Have another look.

Hi ttbn,
- No the comment regarding Israel related to the article “West's Self-Assisted Suicide" which you discussed in your opening comment.

The article about Palestinian gas reserves I added, in response to this first article - specifically the authors concerns about too much financial aid to Palestine.

The 'disobey your parents' comment / question related to the last article link you shared, from dailydeclaration.com

"I’m being both serious and sincere in my contention that the nation of Australia is currently experiencing the wrath of God."

Well, I too would also be both serious and sincere if I responded by asking the question, what makes people think that God and not humans themselves are responsible for all this mess?

Gods punishing us
Gods testing us

If God exists... how do we know he's not just sitting back enjoying a big bucket of KFC watching on in bemusement as we all make idiots of ourselves and a complete mess of everything all on our own?
