Bible Question:
Is God evil if He has miracles and does not use them. Many think that God can work miracles. Looking about the world today many see evil happening everywhere. Children starving as the highest evil, all of us sinning as a lower evil. I suggest that if a miracle working God is in existence and does nothing then He is acting in an immoral way. He should not be followed. Debate. Is God moral or immoral for allowing the world to just go along in evil? Regards DL |
Bible Answer: DL, Better off to take your debate elsewhere. For it will not accomplish anything. Now if you would like to learn about the true, loving, merciful God, then by all means, stick around. Rom 9:20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" “Who art thou, thou that art so foolish, so feeble, so short-sighted, so incompetent a judge of the divine counsels? Art thou able to fathom such a depth, dispute such a case, to trace that way of God which is in the sea, his path in the great waters?” That repliest against God. It becomes us to submit to him, not to reply against him; to lie down under his hand, not to fly in his face, nor to charge him with folly. Ho antapokrinomenos - That answerest again. God is our master, and we are his servants; and it does not become servants to answer again,” – Matthew Henry 2Timothy 2:23-26: 23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. God is not subject to His creation. You can scream “immoral” all day long and hurl all the accusations you can muster, but that doesn’t make you correct and to debate it is futile. Isaiah 55:8,9: 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Do you know what God’s love has done? What His grace has accomplished in this fallen world? Stand in His Grace, WOS |
