ayobase: Somethings are allowed so that His name will be glorified, and also for sources of later testimonies to enhance others faith.

And not all those that look good are actually good!

Some are the cause of what's happening to them.

"My people perish cos they lack knowledge"
That verse is very powerful!

God is unquestionable.
His ways and reasonings are far far from ours!

Logicboy03: [size=18pt]6) A Problem of tragedy, evil and natural disasters[/size]


[size=14pt]Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Epicurus[/size]



A great question people ask when tragedy and natural disasters happen is where is God? Religious theists can not answer this question adequately as it provides a great problem with the theory of a "good and just" God.

-Why does God allow terrible things to happen to good people?
-Why does God allow innocent children to die of starvation in Africa?
-Why does God allow natural disasters like earthquakes to kill both sinners and innocent people indiscriminately?



There are four flawed religious answers to these questions


1) God gives man freewill. We shouldnt Judge God based on what man does with his freewill!
-A natural disaster has no freewill and there is nothing man can do with his freewill against an earthquake (except run/help survivors)
-An omniscient God can not give freewill. Such a God knows everything- what will happen and when it will happen- predetermination!

2) God is punishing the wicked (Gays destroy society false argument )
-Worse things even happen to those people who worship him and innocent children.
-An earthquake doesnt care if you are good or bad.
-Such a God can not be just. Why not Judge people individually rather than kill indiscriminately with floods and disaters?

3)God is doing in for a greater good! We are not omnipotent and so we can't judge
-Really? God couldnt find a better way of achieving the greater good than to let children drown in a tsunami
-Greater good for who? The societies ravaged by earthquakes? The dead victims?


4) God is not involved in these tragedies!
-Erm, he impotent or selfish not to help.

Joagbaje:

God is not responsible for our lives. We have the responsibility to function in his will and plans

realsammie: I am confuse

vislabraye: Jesus Christ even said that in this world we would have trouble. The fact that you're christian doesn't exempt you for battle.
Even Jesus Christ who was God had to suffer and pass through similar trouble so that we could have hope.
God even allowed Jesus to die a painful death.
We tend to know God more when we pass through challenges. Don't forget that we are in a wicked world.

Joagbaje:

I agree with the first part. You are responsible for your life , not God. God gives his word and power as instrument for us to prosper by . What you do with the word of God determine the out come. Through his words ,instructions for living are given. If you do the word . You will experience the protection and blessing. If you don't do it . You experience the absence of the blessing in the particular area of your carelessness . The choice is yours.

Deuteronomy 30:19
I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Proverbs 4:20-22
My son, attend to my words;incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes;keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them,and health to all their flesh.





This last part of your post is wrong. God cares and he want every one to know his principles and by these principles make their lives successes.

Joshua 1:8
observe to do according to all that is written therein:for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

From the scripture above ,it says "thou" shall make thy way prosperous. You see it's our responsibility , to take advantage of his grace

This one don say him own. . .Next!



Another one done talk him own. . .

When will god come and speak for himself and tell people why he allows his beloved children to suffer needlessly?. . .

Kay 17:

Hence God is a means to one's goals of prosperity and happiness?

How do you explain the riches of none Christians?
