In reply to the discussion: Woman Said she Redirected Tornado to Another Neighborhood When God Gave her authority over winds [View all]PatrickforO

Seems like instead of just redirecting the tornado into another neighborhood, maybe she should have used that 'authority' to calm the winds for everyone.
Just a thought. But I guess most Christians these days don't think about other people quite so much unless they are a target for conversion. The harvesting of souls, you know. And, as to salvation, it is not considered to be collective in this perversion of what the faith probably was once. Salvation is now individual - the person says a 'sinner's prayer' and then is guaranteed entry into heaven.
But...what about the state of our earth now? Doesn't that mean something? And what about all the economic and social violence? The abject poverty, the wars? Shouldn't 'salvation' be collective, and shouldn't it be for all of us right now, right here?
Just saying...
