The only shaking now will be amongst those in his flock.
He no doubt feels shame and humility. Perhaps he feels let down by God.
Not because we didnt have this earthquake, but because he had prayed for direction and guidence when struggling with whether to tell of his dream or not.
If we try and shame him more and reduce him to rubble then we are guilty of sin.
What we should be doing is show this man GODS love! And not be in the wrong spirit of being judgmental! We are not to judge, lest we be judged.

IF you proclaim yourself as a spiritual leader AND you judge others….Your heart is wrong and you have no love and compassion.
What secret sin are YOU hiding? God knows!
You who take the energy to look down upon this man is doing this with the wrong spirit. There is no middle ground!

Taking time to communicate with him….OK…What spirit was this done under? Was it done with scoffing and haughtiness? Or was this done in the true spirit of Gods love and compassion?

Did you take time to help a person who is hurting or suffering pain…
How much time did you take in helping others?
To alleviate human suffering that is all around us, even next door!
Which is more important a “task”?
Making a point that he was wrong?
Do you feel rightious indignation?
What does God ask us to do?
Admonish this man or help a suffering soul?

Did you take time to help guide him or councel him WITH LOVE?
Probably not! Did you put your arms around him to help guide him with Love as he leads his flock? You are responsible to do so as we are instructed.

How much time and energy did you take in negativeness trying to prove another him wrong or bring shame upon his head?
Pray for him, pray for your own soul.
Be kind and have the spirit of Love….this is what the Lord has admonished us with. Jesus said….Love God, Love others.
IF we don’t have love our ministy will be damned!

I feel very sad for this pastor. Please don’t judge him. He only felt compeled to tell of his dream to warn. He struggled with this.

Have you considered that God had a change of heart and held back the curtains of doom for now? The story of Jonah and Nineva is just one example. We have no way of knowing if there was anyone who repented of their sins here in Portland….that caused God to change his mind.

If you look on USGS web site you will learn that Oregon didn’t even have a 1.0 on the richter scale yesterday….while there were hundreds in Alaska, California and Washington.
Zero, silch, nada one for Oregon! Odd! Very odd!

Oregon WILL suffer a devastating earthquake because of Plate techtonics. Not because of any parade. The bible tells there will be calamity right at end times…..we are just at the edge now! God is known to use natural disasters as a way to punish.

Have you seen the latest programs from Discovery Channel regarding how the Pacific North West will suffer MORE devastating earthquakes and Tsunamis in the very near future.
According to the USGS, California has a 67% “chance” for catastrophic earthquakes within the next 30 years or less.

I’ve studied geology and learned that I live in the worst area possible…that I’m not even living on the North American Plate and am on an oceanic Plate…Juan De Fuca which is diving underneath the N American Plate….why do you think we have all those Pyroclastic Volcanoes lined up like they are?
What really worries me is the very recent change in the magnetism and magma flow here in Oregon. They are scrambling with studies right as I write this….especially where our Vortexes are located. They are keeping this “mum” as they do not want to cause wide spread panic. There is nothing we can do to change what is going to happen.
If you were to read about the Green Mountain Range here in Oregon, this will terrify you enough to pack up and leave!
But gas is just too high and I love all the trees.
So I’ll just stay put and hope when the big one does finally hit….I’ll be on vacation in The Florida Keys.
Lets have love and compassion, understanding and acceptance!
Like Pastor Day urges….first we must ready our hearts! We must be ready to meet the Lord NOW!
Blessings, Crytears
PS….I dont know Pastor Day or any of his congregets.
I do “know of” 4 other people who’ve had the same exact dream.
Each one is considered a very spiritual person, but not wanting to make their dreams public for fear of ridicule. The bible is very clear in stating that in end times, men will dream dreams. What does this tell you?

Please open your wallets accordingly. Checks should be made out to “ms_xeno.” Thank You.

(oh, and pssst…while y’all were so busy obsessing about gay sex–really…you should leave that to US–the terrorists already won)

But, then again, the pastor is right about somethings (he can’t be ALL wrong ya’ know ;) ) I believe, we WILL all be judged someday for what we do, & don’t do. I believe, we will have to answer to our creator for how we lived our lives & that every secret thing we do & even every thought we think HE knows. But, I also believe that He is a God of mercy & is quick to forgive & cleans us of all unrighteousness.
The prophet Jonah wanted very badly to see Ninevah destroyed, but GOD had other plans. :) I think God has OTHER plans for Portland too! So, I hope we are all ready! :)

So you’re saying it’s all about sex ? What a Freudian cliche’, Squid. I expected more imagination from you.

Why do you resist your natural desire to fulfill your natural role? God is sending you a message.

This same (soon) pacific northwest quake scenario is being predicted by a number of sites such as halfpasthuman.com (the famous web bots). That doesn’t make it any more likely to occur but it’s hardly unique or a personal judgement on homosexual behavior.

I think you simply respond with anger whenever you perceive on opinion that differs from your own, because you feel guilty about your behavior. I think if that quake does happen, that CHRISTian you mock will be far more likely to come to the aid of survivors than you or any of the other post authors.

laugh all you like, we win.

Re: Recurring earthquake dreamTue, May 30, 2006 - 7:38 PM
I have been having a recurring earthquake dream as well… I don’t have it every night, but 2 or 3 times a week for the last 6wks. The dream is very vivid, I am looking down from the sky, I am not in a physical body. I am looking down on Portland Oregon, a huge shaking starts and it is deafingly loud like a thousand trains. The buildings downtown all sway and collapse, as do the buildings in the surrounding area as far as I can see from my vantage point, south past Salem and north beyond Vancouver Washington. When its over all I see is carnage, smoke and fires. I hear another huge roaring sound and from the east an enormous wave comes rushing down the Columbia river, my guess is that it is from the Bonneville dam bursting? It slams into whats left of Portland and pushes it into the ocean.

In my dream it seems like its the weekend and summer or at least warm out because there are alot of folks out enjoying the weather. I have only had 3 apocoliptic dreams in my life, and 2 of them have happened in the last 3yrs.

I have never lived in Portland and only visited a half dozen times. I wish the dream would stop, its very upsetting to watch.

Me: What do you want for Father’s Day, dear?
DH: Well, gay sex, of course. Otherwise the terrorists will have won.

I would like to thank you, Amp, for raising the level of marital communication in at least one American household.

You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken preseumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

~Deutoronomy 18:21-22

Nothing there about destruction for the prophet. I guess the guy is safe from everything but public humiliation.

What I want to know is, will he be sacked if he’s wrong? (Deut. 18:22 would be even better, of course.)

Of course, the scary flip side is that people still seem to believe this crap, no matter how many times reality disproves it.

Anyone know where I can get “DEUT 18:22″ bumper stickers made up on a rush order and sent to Portland?

Actually, the penalty for false prophecying and teaching others to break the Law is death, the fundamental reason I now take issue with Christianity.

Yes, but where in Devarim does it say that? I’d like to make a bumper sticker with that chapter and verse on it.
