Subject: God allowing things in our lives |
Bible Note: Doc, what I am simply saying, is that God might use the challenge to help us grow, but John 10:10 says that the Thief came to kill steal and destroy, (talking of Satan) so unless Satan at times does God's work, then how do we call God a destroyer? Also, I have never met anyone who truely believes God does things such as gives cancer to teach a lesson, I've yet to ever meet anyone who says they believe that, and live it. Here is the proof. If you are to believe God sends cancer to teach a lesson, then who are you to ever go to a doctor, take any medicine, or allow doctors to help someone get 'cured' from something God says they should have. If you ever believe God at times sends sickness and harsh times on people, then you should be an outright advocate of shutting down hospitals, making sure nobody can get loans to keep their business afloat etc etc. But like I said, I've never seen anyone live what they preach when they claim God is responsible for hardships in their life. They all support doctors, even though by their theological idea, those doctors might be in direct opposition to God by curing someone that God wants sick. I'd never want to work against God, would you? |
