Bible Question: This might be a ridiculous question, but me and my fiancee argue about this all the time, so I just want to get it straight. My fiance believes that when people die of sicknesses and diseases, it was not God that gave it to them or killed them. I don't totally disagree, I just am stuck on believing that God brings you into this world, and he takes you out. I know he doesn't want to bring pain to the people, or that he doesn't want to give cancer to babies, so please help me to understand. thanks. |
Bible Answer: biblehappy, Gen 1:26 "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.'" God created us on the sixth day of creation. He created us in his image, giving us dominion of this whole planet. If we believe that God gave us sickness as well, then He is subject to it too, as we are created to His image! Gen 1:31 "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good." Notice the words "very good". Some teach that God wants people to have sicknesses, depression and pain in order to them some spiritual truths. If this is true, why did God not give this teaching tool to Adam and Eve? Fair is fair! Instead we notice that they were created "very good". He even goes further by giving them directions what to eat in order to stay healthy. Gen 1:29-30 "Then God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.'" No, disease and sicknesses was not God's plan for humanity at creation! If you are burdened by a sickness or you have a loved one who is suffering, look up to and trust in the Lord. There will be an end to this. This is not God's design! Let us join the apostle John and say Rev 22:20 "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." God Bless |
