So why is it bad to prepare against catastrophic caused by men doing evil? If I was a Jew in Germany and saw the writing on the wall and made arrangements to escape and save myself and my family am I a bad person? If I see war coming is it not my duty to try and shield them and take steps to protect them? You seem to argue both sides.
As for me I think these verses to be more relevant:
Proverbs 27:12 (NLT) ”A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.“
“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” 1 Timothy 5:8 (KJV)
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. Proverbs 21:20
But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their deaths. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman accountable. Ezekiel 33:6
Am I not my family’s watchman? If I see trouble coming it is my DUTY to make arrangements to provide for my family:
If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8
I don't see how... but I don't think I have a problem with anything else you said.
My original response was only to offer a scriptural answer to your question: "If a man rapes a woman or kills another man is that God’s will or a man exercising his free will to do evil?".
I was in no way trying to ridicule you for prepping... I was just hijacking the thread over your theological point of view. ;o)
