Start with the Holocaust.
They wanted to allow trannies in the Ladies Room.
It is possible that God created the universe and life forms and then just lets it all run on its own based on the laws he created. At least that is what it looks like but who knows? It is above our understanding.
Trannies were unheard of during the black plague in Europe. So it is difficult to correlate the two.
God is not our celestial butler.
It makes you wonder about the efficacy of prayer.
Who are we to ask God to change his plan? If everything
that happens is part of his plan, then asking for something different implies there are better ways than his perfect plan. Basically, we’re saying, “Hey, you screwed up here.”
Why do people think God sits around watching weather patterns like some child with a “make your own planet” with the weather system add-on module?
These things are simply ridiculous.
....It is possible that God created the universe and life forms and then just lets it all run on its own based on the laws he created...
That’s why it’s called weather.
God didn’t decide to make Harvey occur....God is letting us find our way on this earth, and by our responses to challenges like Harvey, and I think HE has seen a lot...
And if people build cities in flood plains in hurricane tracks, that's God's fault?
Hurricanes are part of God's creation and if you happen to be in the path of one, it's not going to end well.
Start with Adam and Eve and the tree........
I don’t pray much for myself, but do pray a lot for others.
Here we were (are), a very divided country, at each other’s throats politically, religiously, socially. Then Harvey came along.
Now, I’m not going to argue that Harvey was a blessing or a good thing — but as the old saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining.
The silver lining in this crowd is the heroic efforts of all kinds of people to help neighbors, friends, family, strangers, whomever they could help, however they could help — and the generosity of those who cannot be present to help personally, in order to support those who are.
This is inspiring, and this is who we are. This terrible disaster has made us pull together and show the magnificence in our character. For a little while, most of us have forgotten our differences.
This is a good thing.
Great list! I would add that He shined a light of contrast between people working together to recover from a disaster and those wicked in our country (Antifa, BLM, Democrat Party, etc.) who are busy trying to CREATE disasters for others.
That is why we have the OT book of Job. There is a time when it is okay to get angry at God. He has big shoulders.
No, it's not hard to understand.
Amo 4:7 "I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain on one city, and send no rain on another city; one field would have rain, and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
Amo 4:8 so two or three cities would wander to another city to drink water, and would not be satisfied; yet you did not return to me," declares the LORD.
Amo 4:9 "I struck you with blight and mildew; your many gardens and your vineyards, your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured; yet you did not return to me," declares the LORD.
Amo 4:10 "I sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, and carried away your horses, and I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils; yet you did not return to me," declares the LORD.
Amo 4:11 "I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me," declares the LORD.
Gee, and all this time I thought that verse in scriptures that said in John 10:10 that the thief (satan) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy...
The truth is that we don’t know. If Isaiah were here speaking what he had heard from God, then we would know.
But we don’t.
