Baptist Press: R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, appeared on CNN's “Larry King Live†Jan. 7 along with New Age author and spiritist Deepak Chopra, Muslim scholar Maher Hathout, Buddhist monk Henepola Gunaratana, Roman Catholic priest Michael Manning and Jewish rabbi Michael Lerner.
The panel addressed the theological questions stemming from the Tsunami disaster Dec. 26, 2004. Each gave distinctly different answers. Their responses exposed a difference between the personal, sovereign God of Christianity and the deity of other religions.
Mohler said the tsunami and the resulting destruction did not fall outside the control of the sovereign God that Christians see revealed in the pages of Scripture.
