Thank you for this write up..I trust in God with all my heart..Seeing the death and devastation the earthquake has left on Haiti, i found some reasonable answers to the true meaning of Jesus’s parable about those that perished at the tower of Siloam which was the only Bible passage I felt could profer answers to my aching heart

I agree…the message is to view these calamities as warnings from God for man to take notice and repent. Like minor quakes before the ‘big one’. These should be ‘wake up calls’ but sadly are only viewed as ‘natural disasters’ even by the church world.

Remember, Christ doesn’t do much analysis re Siloam….he simply says to the questioner(s), “Unless ye repent, ye will likewise perish.” So, there does seem to be some connection between temporal events and our degree of submission to the King…..however the man born blind miracle is the reminder that the connection may not always be as it appears.

Good post. I agree that we should not use this as an opportunity for casting judgement on those people. That job belongs solely to God. God may be using this a judgement on some people, but he may and probably is using this to sanctify some, save some, and even teach some of us on the outside where we are lacking in our Christian charity and where we could put some practical feet on our theology by physically helping them.
