As you good folks already know, you cannot argue or even have an intelligent dialog with these people before they start with the insults and the tired, worn and meaningless slogans.
What did the person say? That God is blessing the Occupy Movement. o_O
I beg to differ and here's why!
In 1 Corinthians 14:33 is says: For God is not the author of confusion but of peace. . . . . . What do you see in the Occupy Movements? Nothing but confusion, strife and chaos! Only the Wicked One uses confusion, strife and chaos to advance his work. . . . . .
God also says in 1 Corinthians 14:40: Let everything be done decently and in order. For the life of me, I do not see any order what so ever in the Occupy Movements! They have no leaders, no system of government and rules, no specific causes, no security, no morals, no dignity, or scruples. They are literally a bunch of people who want to hang out and do nothing all day and night, under the guise of "protesting". God cannot bless something like that.
Last but not least:
God cannot bless any operation or cause that will openly resist, or openly seek confrontation with governmental representatives. That means governors, mayors, police, etc.
Don't believe me? Read this!
Romans 13:1-5 The Amplified Bible
1LET EVERY person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God's appointment.
2Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].
3For civil authorities are not a terror to [people of] good conduct, but to [those of] bad behavior. Would you have no dread of him who is in authority? Then do what is right and you will receive his approval and commendation.
4For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, [you should dread him and] be afraid, for he does not bear and wear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant to execute His wrath (punishment, vengeance) on the wrongdoer.
5Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God's wrath and escape punishment, but also as a matter of principle and for the sake of conscience.
Why should you obey authority, because they were put there by God to PREVENT disorder and chaos, not CAUSE IT! When you obey them, you have peace. But, when you do not, like verse three ( read above ) says you live in fear of the civil authorities ( which are the cops ). Because they don't carry a gun for a joke. If need be, they will arrest and throw you into jail. Why? Because you are no longer fit to live in society at that time. You are dangerous to yourself and others. Period!
No, God does not bless disorder and disobedience. He chastises it. Perhaps that is why these encampments have become unsafe for men, women, children. God NEVER intended us to live like ANIMALS.
