Christians-If god created men with free will you say he cannot be blamed for any evil in the world...?

Question

Why does he create tsunamis and cyclones that kill people? That has NOTHING to do with men so why?If you believe in scientific research into weather then you must believe the scientists who have explained a lot about the age of the planet and evolution etc...or, like the bible, do you just pick out the bits you want to believe in?

Population control. _try telling that to the families who lost loved ones in SE Asia and th States over recent years. You are either sick ,mentally deluded or joking.

wefmeist…What a load of NONSENSE.

It was man, not God, who brought sin and death into the world. Tsunamis and cyclones were not part of the original created order, but were the result of man's fall.

So tsunamis were created by man? Are you serious?Very worrying if you are.

Regius F-Nice essay-no explanation. Also very poor response rate for this question,there's a shock. How can I ask something that is not there?That's tantamount to mental illness. The only case i am solidifying is the one of religious people's very real delusion in 2007,something that mystifies me each day. The earth is cursed-what absolute rubbish.

Answer 1

Chaos and disharmony came into the world through sin. It was not so from the beginning.
It is furthermore a temporary condition:

"The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies."
Romans 8:19-23

Unless you believe, you will never be able to understand.

Response to comment:
Of course its nonsense to you. That is exactly what the Bible says it is to non-believers.

Answer 2

"If god created men with free will you say he cannot be blamed for any evil in the world...?"

Because god didn't force anyone to misuse their free will, that was the choice of humans.

"Why does he create tsunamis and cyclones that kill people?"

It was man, not God, who brought sin and death into the world. Tsunamis and cyclones were not part of the original created order, but were the result of man's fall.

"you must believe the scientists who have explained a lot about the age of the planet and evolution"

Want to try and narrow that down a little so it isn't so vague?

Answer 3

I do not mean this to be trite, but if you have a problem with God, why don't you ask Him?

The only reason I can find for this, is that you have decided a priori that there is no God, and you are only using the things you can observe in an attempt to solidfy your case. I suspect, but I can not prove =0) that this is only smoke and mirrors meant to dissuade those of us poor deluded souls who believe.

Here's an experiment for you to try:
Go to your local police chief and demand to know why people die of traffic accidents. Won't he tell you that there are laws governing speeding and driving under the influence? If people violate those, how is it his fault?

Now about the weather, this world is still suffering the ill effects of man's original rebellion - it is cursed! The fact that it is full of pain is a pretty effective method of causing you to desire something else, n'est ce pas? You would love to have it differently, if only it were possible, wouldn't you? Or was all that about the suffering of humanity just a subterfuge?

Methinks he doth protest to much...

Answer 4

U must understand that sin doesnt go unpunished.Bad things happen when we rebel and sin against GOD.But when we repent and turn away from sin and seek GOD mercy.GOD restores what we lost in double measure and will bless u again.What scientists say is most things based on assumption.I read a few months that even some big laws have to be rewritten.Thats science for u.But not Bible .It was the same since it was first written.
Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away"the bible says.

u can recieve JESUS through this.

"For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoso ever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life".Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.

--YOU GOT IT RIGHT--in the first place!
--Jesus' half-brother James had this truth to write:

James 1:
13Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts -no one."

--WHEN INDEED Jehovah God brings on destruction he always superceeds it with warnings of great magnitude:

2 Peter 2:1-5
5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 8(for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.[c] 10This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature[d] and despise authority."

--BEFORE THE 10 plagues on Egypt , Jehovah had Moses warn Pharoah(Exodus 9-15
--No question of where those plagues originated from, ALL CONTROLLED by God almighty.
--THE WALLS OF JERICHO - God had given ALL the Cananite nations -ample warning of their obsene perversion!

--WHERE DO YOU GET any proof that God is behind the natural phenomenon , of underwater earthquakes, bizaar weather conditions?--THAT INDEED HAVE THE credentials of man tampering with the environment!
--WITH ALL THE UNDERWATER bombing tests and the dumping of nuclear wastes in our oceans--YOU DON'T THINKS THAT something very delicate such as underwater forces could be messed up?
--INTERESTING TEXT: "You have sown the wind and you will reap the whirlwind"

--WHAT HAPPENED when the ALL-WISE engineers diverted the great Mississippi for what-ever "great" idea?
--HAS NOT THE worst troubles taken place and continue to do so with flooding and erosion problems THAT CANNOT BE remedied by human engineering?
--WE COULD LIST(forever) the "great" & foolish contrivances of humans , WHO REALLY have made this a "wonderfully messed up planet?,
--FOR** 6,000 YEARS OF human history THIS MARVELOUS planet, earth , had been easily reparing itself from any wounding by foolish humans!
--BUT , now in just what the last 20 years, reputable scientists have been saying--THE "WISE TECHNOLOGY" of humans may have gone to "the point of no return!"
--YOU HAVE some gaul to indicate that the earth could so many times, BE RAPED, with no side affects!

--BEFORE YOU MAKE such sweeping statements, don't you think you should put your gray cells in some kind of thinking mode? OR have you not ever experienced that exercise?

--WHAT PATTERN OF WARNING do you base your false accusation of God, IN OUR PRESENT DAY?
--FROM THE FALSE RELIGIOUS teachings--SUCH AS -- "that it was God's will?" " God's plan"
--ARE YOU next going to accuse God of setting up the West Virginia tragedy?

--AS TO YOUR reference to the fraudulent science of EVOLUTION , such science fiction is indeed being commented on by noteworthy scientists.............COMING SOON.--Once you get your question set clear.........
