I would simply trust God. If He wants you to have Ebola, it will be for His glory.

Since when has god gone from being Khorne to being Papa Nurgle?
Eh, who am I kidding, Uncle Nurgle at least cares for his followers.
"If He wants you to have Ebola"
I read this at first as "If He wants to have Ebola".
That would be some breaking news: "This just in, good news and bad news for the religious. The good news - there *is* a God! The bad news - He died less than an hour ago of Ebola!"
Have you ever been to a doctor in your life? Did your mother go to a hospital or used the help of a midwife to deliver you?
If you answered yes, congratulations. You are a hypocrite.
Puking Blood For Jesus!
Wheee!!
"If He wants you to have Ebola, it will be for His glory"
Then what's stopping you from travelling to Sierra Leone, and kissing the first person you see who's bleeding from the mouth , Jimmy?
He wants you to have Ebola, like all his equally beloved over there, y'know. Who are you to argue the will of your 'God', hmmmmmm...?!
What glory is there in having your subjects suffer? I mean, it's one thing for a king to take his peasants' money in order to be rich and show off how much money he has. It's quite another for a king to intentionally infect his subjects with the plague and brag about how much pain he's causing. The former is simply an asshole and the latter is unspeakably evil.
Nurgle loves me! This I know,
For this illness tells me so;
Little ones to him belong;
We are weak, and he grows strong.
Nurgle loves me! This I know,
As he loved so long ago,
Taking lepers on his knee,
Saying, “Let them come to me.”
Nurgle loves me still today,
Watching all my flesh decay,
Wanting as a friend to give
Whooping cough to all who live.
Nurgle loves me! He who tried
To make life diversified;
He will wash away my pain,
Letting his plagues fall like rain.
Nurgle loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
I have bled and died for thee,
All will henceforth worship thee.

Here's another thing I don't understand. If God is an all-knowing, all-powerful entity who is perfect in every way and therefore requires nothing from anything (after all, he made everything), what need does he have for praise, glory or worship?
At least the Chaos Gods and the Emperor have a reason for demanding worship since their power largely comes from how many followers they have, God's just an egotistical dickhead.
Interesting change of pace from the typical fundie idiocy. But ultimately it doesn't matter, since every living thing dances to Tzeench's strings & are but puppets in his scheme, for The Lord of Change knows all.
I would simply trust God. If He wants you to have Ebola, it will be for His glory.
Although I am in **no** way camparing the two, this argument could be turned around against Brother james:
"I would simply trust God. If He wants America to have same-sex marriage, it will be for His glory."
I wonder what he would say to that.
*sigh* I guess I'll never have "glory", then, because I don't want anybody to have Ebola. Shit, I don't even want them to catch a cold.
Such greatness escapes me.

What does God need with Glory ? [/James T. Kirk]
MELTING FLESH FOR JESUS!
So, do you hang with Cheung & Diehl for games of canasta on Friday nights or what?
I have no idea who this Nurgle guy is but I actually wish that there was a Parousia of Jesus, just so he can SHUT THESE PHARISAICAL CHRISTOFRUM ASS-CLOWNS UP!!!!
Glory? GLORY! GLORY FOR WHAT?!
Um....
Glory, glory Transylvania!
The werewolves and bats will always maim ya
The murky moors will likely claim ya
As we go bumblin' through!

Actually those two are sweet, harmless and fun...unlike Demiurge-Yahweh, Anti-Jesus & The Ebola Virus.
Calvinism in a nutshell, everybody. As for your god`s glory, I have a nice, if a little shaded place, where he can take it and shove it.
Well, why don't you lot put your money where your mouth is, board a plane to West Africa, and help out with Ebola relief? Don't you want to share in some of that 'glory' yourself, and follow in the footsteps of Jesus and Father Damien, both of whom fought the good fight against leprosy?

This is Nurgle.

He's a character from Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40K, and in both settings, he's the Chaos god of disease. He gives his followers horrifying, disgusting, disfiguring plagues and parasites as an act of fatherly love, and his cultists willingly contract those diseases as articles of faith, and they spread them as far and wide as possible to the uninfected, so that the "infidels" can know Father Nurgle's love, too.
And, believe it or not, all of that makes him probably the nicest, most likeable character in either Warhammer setting (but especially 40K, where every faction is a bunch of genocidal dickholes, and the "good guys" are just the least-insane genocidal dickholes).
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
