Happy New Year!
8 And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto [i]it to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.

10 And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.

Please explain what they were supposed to repent of? How are these judgments righteous response to the works that they did not repent of?

They openly blasphemed the name of God.

By this time the age of grace has ended. Mankind has been warned to fear God. They refused to heed his warnings. Eventually they will learn that global warning has more to do with their sins than with their global footprint.

Right O my brother. Like I've pointed out : It's the heat of the loins that's causing global warming.

It's about time. I've been sick of the fake news about fake news for a long time.

'Fake news' earns top vote on Michigan university's annual list of banned words for its 'misuse, overuse and uselessness'

Unfortunately, fake news will be the future of mankind. It's just too effective to let go of. Government agencies have been employing for decades, and with objectivity in the Press a thing of the past, we will see much more of it, and not less.

Look at the antifa/BLM movement begun under Obama. There are no stats that prove Police are targeting blacks, but who cares, enough people are convinced of it to take "action."

If we have fake news today then the news has been fake since we started printing. And there was plenty of fake news and info before, during, and after Jesus. Humankind, then, has always had fake news. It's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Trump has been using it to discredit all those that are critical of him. That's why I'm tired of hearing it. That's fake news too.

Would you Tweet something to the Press if they all condemned you on national news for drinking too much green tea?

Now you understand?

Partly true, but really a heart problem. (Mark 7.20-23)

And in this case manifested in their blaspheming God.

God's judgements are righteous. The reference to them blaspheming God is "over the plagues". But the plagues were a judgement for something. It couldn't be the blaspheming, instead that is merely evidence that they refused to repent.

Not quite, it was a pattern: judgment-->blaspheming-->more judgment-->more blaspheming

But one thing is interesting. They stopped blaming Trump for the calamities. They realized global warming was a farce, and they recognized the God of heaven was behind the climate "change."

They no more were liberal agnostics and atheists. They had to make a choice about God. Unfortunately a bad one.

I am not a liberal agnostic nor an atheist. You accused me of being part of a climate cult and now you accuse me of being an agnostic or atheist.

This pattern you cite cannot begin with God's judgement. It would have to begin with God's word followed by man's disobedience which then brought God's judgement. Blaspheming is evidence that they refuse to repent even though they were reaping what they sowed.

The judgement is on the Sun allowing it to scorch man (Ozone hole) with great heat (climate change). Why? What actions by man prompted this response by God?

Blasphemy refers to a lack of respect, reverence for God. It is the act of insulting or showing contempt for God. Trump's comment asking for more of that "good ole global warming" is blasphemy.

So we have God's word, Man's disobedience, followed by God's judgement on the Sun (Climate change as evidenced by Puerto Rico, Houston, and California) followed by Man's blasphemy (Trump's comment) which will be followed by more judgement.

So then why not fill in the first two -- what was God's word and what was Man's disobedience?

That's not true.

I thought we were talking about those who blasphemed God.

If God is not responsible for Climate change then who is?

Clearly Trump's comment was sarcastic and disrespectful. Blasphemy.
