I just watched this documentary about fracking and it is SOO wicked! At the base of it is, Haliburton and Dick Cheney.
David Cameron (UK Prime Minister) is desperate to start fracking in the UK so they can tell Russia to buzz off. I am going to write to the British Govt and weigh in against this. At the beginning of this, there is a man who can set his tap water on fire!
Man has been given stewardship of this earth and this is yet another example of his/our wickedness. I can't judge these people, I use natural gas myself. :sigh:

Here in Carlsbad, where a huge chunk of salt-mine ceiling may have fallen and crushed radioactive containers at the WIPP site, there are ~100 active oil wells very near to the facility. Fracking may be implicated, and plutonium and americium have contaminated the area. We're heading out at the end of the month...
Lazarus, I am shocked at your situation there! Plutonium!!!!??? :eek: That is probably the most dangerous element known to man.
I'm sorry you have to move away, I would too. You are in my heart brother.
May God bless you in and through this situation.
Jock.

I defer to WW on that, so true.

It's small potatoes. In the long run, I'm more worried about the radiation from Fukushima. Three cores have melted into the ground and are lost - unrecoverable. The Pacific Ocean (which is already dying) will have radiation pouring into it for decades. Some are calling it a kill shot, and I can't really disagree with them. It's a good thing the Lord is coming soon!
Yes, well, Fukushima is something I'm keeping my eye on too. It's a grim situation for sure. You may be right, it may get us in the end. I purchased a Geiger counter just to keep a check where we are. Problem is, much of Europe is still radioactive from Chernobyl.
With the situation worldwide, it may be a nuclear war that gets us. I'm looking for the lord too, I keep telling myself that I ought to be perfect by now, but I'm far from it. I really do live under the mercy of God.
Bless you brother :Peace2:

Jock, I hear that there is trash in the gutters of Tokyo which would be nuclear waste in the United States... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
"Doom Porn" is a weight on the mind, but it also impels us to look to God, who is our only Rescue from the oubliette that is this world.
I don't know but I(that's just me) am just wondering what "The evils of fracking" has to do in a discussion about UR? Of course I have wondered why a good many posts were made in the Revelation section as well that I(that's me) had nothing really do with Revelation. Just my wonderings and thoughts. :dsunny:
Lazarus, (Doom porn) LOL, haven't heard that one before but you're right, it does drive one to the Lord.
Micah, yes, I agree with you, I'll watch that in the future.
Earnestly
Jock.
Well Jock I enjoyed your post and agree with you that fracking is bad buisness as are many of mans ways
and poor Laz , sorry to hear about your situation in Cal
Its only by the grace of God that we have time to repent and change our minds from the beastly mind to mind of Christ , any one of us .
God bless
I did not want you to think that some of us dont understand what you have shared here :icon_flower:

Psa 22:1 For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
[fn]Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.
Psa 22:2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but I have no rest.
Psa 22:3 Yet You are holy,
O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 In You our fathers trusted;
They trusted and You delivered them.
Psa 22:5 To You they cried out and were delivered;
In You they trusted and were not disappointed.
Psa 22:6 But I am a worm and not a man,
A reproach of men and despised by the people.
Psa 22:7 All who see me sneer at me;
They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
Psa 22:8 " Commit yourself to the LORD; let Him deliver him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him."
Psa 22:9 Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother's breasts.
Psa 22:10 Upon You I was cast from birth;
You have been my God from my mother's womb.
Psa 22:11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near;
For there is none to help.
Psa 22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
Psa 22:13 They open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring lion.
Psa 22:14 I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
Psa 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You lay me in the dust of death.
Psa 22:16 For dogs have surrounded me;
A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.
Psa 22:17 I can count all my bones.
They look, they stare at me;
Psa 22:18 They divide my garments among them,
And for my clothing they cast lots.
Psa 22:19 But You, O LORD, be not far off;
O You my help, hasten to my assistance.
Psa 22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
My only life from the power of the dog. Psa 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth;
From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.
Psa 22:22 I will tell of Your name to my brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
Psa 22:23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him;
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.
Psa 22:24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from him;
But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
Psa 22:25 From You comes my praise in the great assembly;
I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.
Psa 22:26 The afflicted will eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the LORD.
Let your heart live forever! Psa 22:27
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD,
And all the families of the nations will worship before You. Psa 22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S
And He rules over the nations.
Psa 22:29 All the [fn]prosperous of the earth will eat and worship,
All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him,
Even he who [fn]cannot keep his soul alive.
Psa 22:30 Posterity will serve Him;
It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation.
Psa 22:31 They will come and will declare His righteousness
To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.
Fracking like many things has it's bad side, so it also has a good side with good benefits. Maybe watching a video that was not anti fracking would help.
I am very sorry for your situation Laz and all the citizens in that area. :HeartThrob:
Job 14:5 Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
denying the great damage and poisoning of the enviroment by man in the corrupt image is like an ostrich burying it's head in
the sand. to not be able to see the signs of the times..and note that it is becoming critical is just denial.
Hosea ch 4....the charge against Israel[mankind that was to be in His image[keep the garden] and is corrupted could do nothing
short of corrupting the earth...v 3 Because of this the land mourns,and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the feilds..
the birds of the air and the fish of the sae are dying.
BUT LET NO MAN BRING A CHARGE,let no man aaccuse another..for your people are like those who bring charges against a
preist[those supposed to be guardians]....they exchanged their glory[God's image] for something disgraceful[corrupt image]
exactly Shelia ..
men with men !! corruptible image Rom 1:8 ¶ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Rom 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Rom 1:10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
Rom 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Rom 1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Rom 1:13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Rom 1:14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Rom 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Rom 1:16 ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Rom 1:18 ¶ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
they serve one another and DO nothing BUT DESTROY
and God is never considered at all
power hungry greedy self serving beasts , creatures whom only serve their own bellies and win affections by vain flatteries , the faithless generation , that every generation experiences !!!

Right in the middle if it. Where else?
personally..I feel it is not about God not being in control[eat of that tree and ye will die] but more about man learning that he is
not incontrol.......and the only way for man to live..is through turning from his own ways,and turning unto God.

Micah, I don't see any place to defend fracking. IMO it is stealing from God as men do in so many ways, not to mention what we do to ourselves.

Okay, I get it the Lord lost control when fracking started and now.......
Fracking is only one example. Man has been drilling for oil for decades. God put that oil there for a purpose. Perhaps it was there as a lubricant (I'm speculating) for those gigantic tectonic plates to move more freely? Then there are the nuclear power plants (esp Fukushima and Chernobyl)we know that story.
Now they have HAARP so man can mess around with the Ionosphere and change weather patterns.
There are a zillion more examples of these sort of things. I am jealous for God's creation and so is HE.

re; what does fracking[and any other topic in regard to destruction of earth etc..state of the planet/governments etc] have to
do with UR? It has to do with 'dminion of the earth" given unto man....and the folly of sinful man..motivated by greed.
2 Tim 3;2... Romans 1;30..........they invent ways of doing evil...senseless..faithless heartless ruthless...know any governments
corporations etc....that poison destroy for profit?
it does concern me that you would think this topic null/void..and not suitable to discuss on the forum as having any place
in the louge section...what? see no evil? fulfilling of scripture is what I see.
The evils of fracking ... and what it has to do with Universal Reconciliation?
EVERYTHING!
I came across this small essay on my Facebook page, and since it was not in my Document file, I did a little facelift, and deposited it. It seems relevant to me:
A THOUGHT FROM THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT
How does God deal with evil/wicked people?
Eternal torture in Hellfire?
Eternal destruction?
Eventual complete restoration?
We know without a doubt that God the Son (Jesus the Christ) came, teaching us to overcome evil with good.
Jesus stated that He acted and preached as His Father instructed Him to do.
So, if Jesus taught to overcome evil with good, He must have gotten that from His Father - therefore it is God's teaching.
Wait, does God not follow His Own teaching?
Yes, He does, so God must overcome evil with good in His own dealings with men.
But wait, after the Judgment, the evil and wicked are thrown into the Lake of Fire, right? What's up with that?
Overcome evil with good...so it must be a good thing.
So it can't be a fire of Eternal Torture.
Neither can it be a fire of Eternal Destruction.
God describes Himself as a cleansing, refining fire several times in the Bible.
Is the Lake of Fire therefore a cleansing, refining fire?
Yes, it must be so.
The Lake of Fire cleanses people of evil, and refines them from wickedness.
Goodbye wood, hay, and stubble!
After cleansing and refining, people can enter the City of God thru the gates which are never closed.
When all have entered, God can be All in all, and eternity begins...

I am sure that the posters all know that there is two sides to most coins, that there is a good and bad in just about all things. It is a sorry and pitiful thing that harm has come from fracking, but fracking as well has it's good points.
"re; what does fracking[and any other topic in regard to destruction of earth etc..state of the planet/governments etc] have to

Are you saying that the Lord was oblivious of how man would misuse his dominion?
" it does concern me that you would think this topic null/void..and not suitable to discuss on the forum as having any place

Okay let's discuss, but then it should be in a political vein. Fracking causes jobs, much needed in 2014 and what proof(without a pro side offered) do you have for fracking? As I said I am sorry for the situation with Laz an Carlsbad, but there are other places that fracking has benefited. You wanna talk politics, I shudder and shrug, but I'm game.
"2 Tim 3;2... Romans 1;30..........they invent ways of doing evil...senseless..faithless heartless ruthless...know any governments

That's just about what man was put here to do Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

LS, I think many ETs will agree with at least half of the points you made; but for all of them it all ends when you die.
God refines but if you aren't fully refined when you die, your destiny is hell.
God tries to overcome evil with good, but if you don't let Him you get go to hell when you die.
God is love but also require the justice of the eternal bbq.
That sort of reasoning....

Sad, that they see God as less than all-powerful, though they would sputter and insist that yes, He is. An all-powerful God would get the job done, but the God of the ETs seems to have limited ability, due to His respect for a greater god, human Free Will, which He dare not violate. Given limited ability, and combined with His zero-tolerance quality control, most of humanity is consigned to Hell.
are we our brother's keeper? what of big buisiness destroying people's lands,homes lives..for the almighty dollar?
how hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God........those who serve mammon will not come in the easy way
the LA times has a good article written of Paresh Dave March 12,2014 in regard to the earthquakes associated with
fracking...this aside from groundwater contamination.
I guess until it's your town's water supply ruined......or you forced to move from your home[Bayou Corne] or you selling
your boat[gulf pollution bp oil] or you fleeing radiation..or your community family with cancers/birthdefects[love canal]...
Romans 8;5 those wholive according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires[mammon]
...the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law[love your brother as yourself]
jOHN 7;7 THE WORLD CANNNOT HATE YOU,BUT IT HATES ME..BECAUSE I TESTIFY THAT IT'S WORKS
ARE WICKED.
no..we must not call evil good or good evil.....[it is God's will that man do evil... :eek:] for it is God's will that man put into
subjection every wicked thought by the spirit of Christ. It is God's will that man repents and turns from his wicked ways.
and He will break man[I kill and make alive] to see that he does. Every knee shall bow,every tongue confess....no..that
will not be an easy thing,but a hard thing[great tribulation] how hard it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven
1 Tim 6;9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires
that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root for all kinds of evil. Some people eager for money
have wandered from the faith,and peirced themselves with many griefs.
v 17 command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth,which is so
uncertain but to put their hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. COOMMAND THEM
to do good,to be rich in good deeds,and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for
themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age,so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
Matthew ch 5-7 Be-attitudes and commands of Jesus[hear ye him]
Matt 5; 13-16 salt and light God's spirit in you should speak truth and be a lamp.
fulfillment of the law/love God and brother as yourself.
ch 6;19;24 treasure in heaven...eyes are the lamp[spirituaaal eyes] can not serve God and money.......v32 for the pagans run
after these things.......

Sheila, Wow! cool post!
As you were listing things that have come upon us, I thought of sink holes. Man will be caught in his craftiness. It is in the mail. Men's opinions of things sure change when a tsunami rolls in, taking all he holds dear.
Fukushima radiation is polluting the entire Pacific, killing the sea life ( I wonder how many jobs the fishing industry has lost?) lets create some more plutonium and then they build more nuclear power stations. Hey, lets drill more, let's do some fracking, . This sort of thinking and behaviour is INSANITY!
Shalom :Peace2:

Here's a link that is interesting: It illustrates the thinking of the industry (so called experts/puppet) and one who is trying to save us from these evils.

...funny how the atomic bombs in 1945 over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and how that area of the globe has so many earthquakes and tsunamis which of course result from earthquakes (way to go mankind! for splitting the atom!!!!)
Mankind does all things wrong (in this life of all things wrong, haha) but I have to think oil was created for use.. but of course man does all things wrong and to the extreme.. we've made His house a house of merchandise..
but the split atom, that's gotta be pretty high on the list of wrong things!! and is why (imo) it's described as causing an earthquake (of course the seals are told as a blend of {1} what they are at their begin-ning and {2} what they are at the-'end' that's why tho there was no earthquake that day in 1945, there still was earthquake (along with a great spiritual earthquake one of the major changes of modern life.. ((Rev 6:12-17 & 13:13))

Nothing happens outside of God's will. He alone is God. He alone declares the end from the beginning for He is the supreme orchestrator of it all and it will all come to a glorious end. Stupid man (in bondage to vanity) will not derail it. Who would give car keys to a two year old? Our blessed Father has all in control. We can cease striving (worrying), for He alone is God.
