Bible Question: Are so called "Acts of God" as in insurance policies, really from God? |
Bible Answer: Glory777, as one who spent 40 years in the insurance industry, I'm quite familiar with the term "acts of God" that is used in the indemnity section of many insurance policies. The term is a legal, not a theological, one, and generally refers to unforseeable and unpreventable losses that are not man-made, such as wind damage for example. From a theological perspective, we who believe in the God of the Bible also believe that He is sovereign over all things. To what extent He may intervene in specific natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, etc. I'm not prepared to say, and I'm not sure the Bible reveals this specific information to us. But I'm surely open to instruction if someone else is able to shed more light on this subject than is mine to shed. --Hank |
