If God created every thing then why is he hiding,why cant he help us with diseases and disasters?

Answer 1

No god in my opinion but lets say there is maybe he got bored, never thought we'd live this long, is lazy, sees it as another great flood just not as obvious........like I said though not real.

Answer 2

When disaster hits, and people pray for deliverance, and help doesn't come, people tend to wonder if God exists at all. Unfortunately, atheism doesn't help either, because you have just as many questions, if not more, that remain unanswered. I find your question to be a common one, but it hits deep for those that have gone through diseases and disasters in life. And we have several options. We can deny God, we can say that he is testing us, we can say that terrible things are a precursor to blessings. I don't think any of these are good answers.

So, if God exists, and I believe he does, I think we have to go back to the Bible to find out a little bit more about disasters and diseases that occurred, and the people's reactions to what happened. I think the most significant example is to be found in the book of Job, where it all came crashing down on someone who loved the Lord dearly and served him faithfully. We see in Chapter 38 that there was absolutely no apology from God. In Chapter 40, we even see a challenge, "Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!"

Unfortunately, rather than take a lesson from God's response to Job in those chapters, many people move to the epilogue where God blesses Job more richly then he had been blessed before. I don't see the answer in the epilogue at all. The answer is to be found in who we are before the Lord, and it's pretty humbling to see that the sun rises and sets without our help, the rains come and the earth produces its fruit without our assistance. And when disasters come, we have nothing to say, God does what God wants, and we can curse him or rely on him. I choose to rely on him, and I know my place before him.

Answer 3

God has taken away every pain that I've ever had. I have a 40 year old daughter with a pancreas and kidney transplants.
She also went through 9 eye surgeries and a year on dialysis.
I couldn't even start to tell you how many times God has come through for me. God hides because He wants you to seek Him. In His Word God told us in the latter days that these terrible times (disasters) would come. He even said that men's hearts would fail them for taking care of the things that are coming upon the earth. God said the waves would roar and Israel would become a cup of trembling.

Search for the Lord with all your heart, so you can find Him. Do not live your life without Him.

Answer 4

Is not everything at hand?

Yet a mankind puts trust only in its own conviction.

He could take free will and reasoning from you if it makes you feel better.

When are we going to understand that Man is a creator himself to lesser degree. This is what we have created. Don't you see the men looking at other planets instead of conserving the Earth?

I understand that people can not perceive God but not, the not being able to see what the man's ambition, and ego has done to Earth.

Also not seeing that good men go nowhere or are assassinated is to be blind.

Do you believe in Poor and Rich?
Do you believe in Political Ideologies?
Do you believe in Nationalism?
Do you believe in Consumerism?
Do you believe in Capitalist Slavery?
Do you believe in working two jobs?
Do you believe that there will ever be enough jobs?
Do you believe in accepting death, and causing it instead of fighting it?

Do you believe God made these choices because it is written in a book?

Well I don't believe any of that, I guess that makes me an alien ah?

It is not God your enemy, but the Bestial System you live in.
The only thing good about our human oppressors is that they will also eventually die.

Praying: ...Forgive me Father but I am so angry right now,
Father bring your promise even sooner for your mercy upon the few.

Let the dark magic of that evil great city be undone. Let their many invocation to evil, hidden in movies, religions and ideologies, be undone. Because they even take the bread out of the babies mouths to offer them as sacrifice. They celebrate death, divorce, and aggression, and then go and play golf.
In the name of the living Jesus let be so.

Answer 5

The scriptures of Hinduism can give some mystical answers .

Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"

God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.

In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.

Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.

That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.

This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

Answer 6

Disease and disaster,s are man made and God gave us
the choice,s we make so look in the mirror and you will
see as each of us does that it is of sin of man and not God.

Answer 7

God is not in hiding. He wants to help us and does, but only when we go to him and ask him for help. Of course, if we ask him for anything we should be willing to also not receive that thing we wanted if it wasn't in God's plan. We need to completely submit ourselves to God's will.

Answer 8
