Did you see all the fish that died on the beaches in Texas? And have you seen the stuff on how this points to the end of the world? I have a different question. Did God make lots of fish die? Or, did God know that we were going to make all those fish die? And does it matter?
Who was the first to say vengeance is mine? Many people know that as something from the Bible. If it was early on, then it’s likely God was the first to say it.
