Bible Question: Is the tsunami that occurred in Indonesia and killed possible 200000 people an act of God? In pre Christian times people would certainly have recognized it as such. How do I distinguish an act of God from just a natural occurrence? |
Bible Answer: How can you say that God did not cause the tsunami? We don't know the mind of God. Many hundreds and perhaps even thousands of Christians have been martyred in those countries which have been hit by the tsunami. In fact, the aid which goes there is given to the Hindu first and the Christians get what's left over -- if there is anything left over to get. A missionary friend of mine is going to India on the 12th of January and she is taking money to the Christians over there. She says, "We must take care of our own." I know this is a different perspective than you are used to hearing on the news programs, but they do not even bring God into the equation. This is just a little food for thought. Janae. |
