Is God still in Control? If Not who is?

Question

I mean with all the injustices in the world, crime, violence, terrorism etc... and why do you so anawer?

Answer 1

Yes, God is in control. But all the bad stuff that happen are not God. It is sometimes as a result of our free will and our bad decisions and it is also because we live in a fallen world, and the devil is the prince of this world for now and he has influence and that is where death and destruction come from. He came steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came that we might have life more abundantly. If it steals, kills, destroys, then it ain't God! Another point God gave us dominion over the earth and over the devil. Luke 10:19 says "BEHOLD I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD UPON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU." So alot of it happens I hate to say because we as Christians aren't doing are part, we are going our own way too much, being to passive about what is happening in our world, not praying enough, believing what we see rather than what the word of God says. We are supposed to walk by faith not by sight. We are more than conquerors, but alot of us just walk around not fullfilling our God given destiny's. We are living life for ourselves and not really trying to do any good in this world. NOT enough anyway. There aren't that many Christians who do anything except go and sit in a pew on Sunday and listen to a sermon and then go home and do the same ole same ole. This is why so many people on here bad mouth all Christians because some don't even try. They live lives that aren't that different from the world, doing as the world does, looking like hypocrites, saying one thing doing another.

This is what is wrong with the world, we make bad decisions(not God), it is run by evil and not enough Christians are standing up and doing something the way God enabled us to. God set it up where we have authority, but we aren't taking it. We are supposed to fight the good fight of faith and push back the powers and principalities of this world, with the sheild of faith (believing in Jesus and all that He is and says), the sword of the Spirit (the Bible as a weapon), the Breastplate of Righteousness (Knowing who we are in Christ), Belt of Truth (also the Word for our support), Shoes of Peace (walking in peace). These are our weapons, they are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. Not enough Christians know anything about the Bible beyond the salvation message to believe in ALL that Jesus is and says, or to know who they are IN CHRIST, or how to walk in peace. Christians need to read the word and then do the word... bottom line- to help this lost and dying world. It is not God's fault, it is man's fault, and Satan's. I'd like to give Satan all the credit, but we have to take some of the responsiblity too.

Answer 2

God is in control. The battle for human souls is already won. We can't see it, because we are in time and space, whereas God is outside of it.

What is going on in our world is a reflection of our choice to deny God and to live in self-will. This world is a proving ground--where we have the choice to accept salvation or else deny it.

Crime, violence, terrorism, and the like are not new. This is the "evidence" that God's enemy wishes you to focus on, for his own purposes of stealing human souls. If you accept God's free gift of salvation, you get a whole new set of evidence that you can't imagine until it's given to you.

God always has been, is now, and will be in control. This is God's creation. At no point has God lost control.

Part of his control is ceding freedom to human beings to pick which path they want to walk, and with whom.

Answer 3

God is in control. But, he gives us a free will. Thats where our problem begins. We can except Jesus or the Devil. Most people will choose the Devil. Why? Because of our nature. We have a sin nature until we accept Christ., then our spirit will come alive to the things of God. Then as we learn more and more about God we begin to do the things that please God. Example: Lying, stealing, cursing, adultery, homosexuallity, killing, anger toward one another, crime, etc. Does these things remind you of God. No. God IS LOVE. and he is in control, so let him control you. Then see how you world changes.

Answer 4

This seems to me like one in all those issues some theists tell themselves so they sense that issues in life are much less random than they're. God does have a plan for us and right here that's: for us to apply the brains and hearts and abilities He gave us the terrific we are in a position to. it quite is all. No scheduled deaths, no preordained injuries, no pre-planned something. it quite is loose will. some theists quite hate the thought we've loose will and that God leaves our life judgements as much as us. that is like they don't pick accountability for starting to be their very own life judgements. yet God leaves that as much as us. of direction He facilitates us as quickly as we ask, however the ideas and outcomes are ours. in case you freely pick to not positioned on a helmet driving your motorcycle out on the line, and yet another motive force hits you, then it quite is while God is accustomed to you will die. It became not planned and in case you had freely chosen to positioned on a helmet then you ought to probable stay yet another day. while God gave us loose will, He ameliorated His very own omniscience in deference to us. We now make judgements and God does not interfere on them (except we ask Him). As such, there is not any "destiny" that God can see into via fact our destiny strikes do not exist till we freely pick them. that is all our freely made selections affecting the ideas of the human beings around us and their selections affecting us.

Answer 5

There is only one Gad, and we all pray that gad. Like some one having more than one name, we all call that gad using different names. To concentrate our mind (cyclonically) we need some thing. That’s why we go to Church, Temple & Mosque.
Gad is watching what ever we do, and will react at the end. Like birth and death it’s in his hand. We can only do whatever we can do, but the finishing touch is in god’s hand
