One of the benefits of belief is that you grant yourself the right to be selective about which things God is responsible for. That's the attraction of delusion, you are not constrained by rational thinking.

The FLOOD was to punish a wicked earth. We are not sure how long it took for this wickedness to build, but an estimate can be obtained from the ages of the Patriarchs in Genesis chapter five. Also the offspring of disobedient angels...the Nephilim, roamed the earth, and were not part of God's intention for the earth. But God's initial claim that the man He created would continue to be faithful and worship Him , God, using their free will, with no coercion, was proved correct when he made it possible for Noah and his family to survive. Only by obeying God's direction in the building of the Ark, WAS Noah saved. Noah was building that Ark for sixty to eighty years.
God has set up the earth so we have weather that sometimes causes casualties. Natural disasters. these are not "acts of God". The flood WAS.

The great flood in the time of Noah caused because God wanted to martyr the infidels who they didnt believe God s excist ....
So all other natural disasters that u r talk bout t r sort of the crucifixion that all the infidels will see t in the hell, so when u see the natural disasters u must remember our great God the one n pray n always ask God for mercy, n if u a believer God will forgive u Coz God s the merciful for ever

I guess its quite in order to say that God is the cause of all natural disasters, however, I don't believe there ever was a great flood in the days of Noah. You know, I can agree 100% with the principles of Jesus Christ, but when it comes to the bible, well thats another story, I have great reservations about that one. Man also contridutes to these disasters by hurting the delicate balance of our earth, I'm sure you understand what I'm saying.

God did cause the flood, & God also puts in nature the laws of storms, Destruction, But we can not Blame God, If Mankind/womankind didn't cause so much hatred, sinful acts that only the devil causes a person to commit, then the laws that God put into nature would not have to be activated, God is a loving God, But he is also A God of Judgement, Wrath, & Destruction. And God is a Fair God. God has given mankind every opportunity to change their ways, So to asnwer your question, in a truefully way, Yes God is the God of Nature, But these destructions you see or hear about is because mankind fail to repent of their eveilness, Look at Noak in the time of the flood, God gave mankind 120 yrs. to repent & they did not. So is it today. Don't Blame God, Blame Mankind/womankind.

why is this so stressful ? GOD additionally had to maintain the people however the people had to coach and combat for their precise to be saved and each little thing in this EARTH replaced into created for people (it says so interior the bible that every person of what's on earth is for the people to rule over, the Eden tale ,,they might consume from each tree different than one subsequently each little thing that replaced into there replaced into for ADAM and EVE,,) and so on. we are GOD's ultimate creation, a minimum of that's what it says interior the bible so HE had to maintain us and seeing as how after the flood there replaced into not extra trees HE allowed us to consume meat which replaced right into a sin reason till now the flood no person ate meat.

No. God did cause that flood but it was a matter of justice becasue the people had become so wicked. God does not cause natural disaters but He does allow them.

No! Satan has had a lot of time to study the way things work in this world (natural) and he is able to influence/cause earth quakes, storms, tornado's, hurricanes, etc.
