Answer 1

That's as dumb as asking the question and not caring about the answer.

Answer 2

Well, here, for what they're worth, are a couple of different approaches to the problem, from writers among the more sophisticated Christian thinkers: Now, the mere fact that the choice of the “right” word is a choice implies that the writer is potentially aware of all the wrong words as well as the right one. [...] He is free, if he chooses, to call all or any of those wrong words into active being within his poem—just as God is free, if He likes, to call Evil into active being. But the perfect poet does not do so, because his will is subdued to his Idea, and to associate it with the wrong word would be to run counter to the law of his being. He proceeds with his creation in a perfect unity of will and Idea, and behold! it is very good. Unfortunately, his creation is safe from the interference of other wills only as long as it remains in his head. By materializing his poem—that is, by writing it down and publishing it—he subjects it to the impact of alien wills. These alien wills can, if they like, become actively aware of all the possible wrong words and call them into positive being. They can, for example, misquote, misinterpret, or deliberately alter the poem. -- Dorothy Sayers, "The Mind of the Maker" He defined men by morality; it was perhaps inevitable that he should define God in the same way. The most difficult texts for him to explain away had always been those which obscurely hint at the origin of evil itself in the Unnameable, “the lying spirit” of Zedekiah, the dark question of Isaiah—“Shall there be evil in the city and I the Lord have not done it?” He was always trying to avoid Dualism, and falling back on the statement that Omniscience might permit what it did not and could not originate, yet other origin (outside Omniscience) there be none. It is true he always added that it was a mystery, but a safer line was to insist that good and evil were facts, whatever the explanation was. True as this might be, it had the slight disadvantage that he saw everything in terms of his own good and evil, and so imperceptibly to resist evil rather than to follow good became the chief concern of his exhortations. So perhaps the great energies are wasted; so perhaps even evil is not sufficiently resisted. -- Charles Williams, "Shadows of Ecstasy"

Answer 3

God doesn't GIVE people illnesses.He simply allows the laws of nature to occur. He gave man the knowledge to make medicine. We should always praise God when people recover from an illness. His word says 1. By His stripes we are healed. 2. W/O God giving man the knowledge to make medicine think of all those who would not recover. No matter how/why something happens in this world. It's all about God.

Answer 4

Because God doesn't give illness', life happens and no one chooses to be sick, but many don't realize that the very lifestyle they live will make them sick over time therefore shortening the life span. Is all about choices not about blaming God for everything when He is blameless, it is the easy way out to blame Him, easier than examining ones actions.

Answer 5

God doesn't "give" us illness and disease. We are human w/ human bodies that are imperfect. Many times people learn and grow through difficulties. It brings you closer to God. May sound bizarre but it is true. I have experienced it in my own life. God doesn't promise that we will skate through life unscathed - quite the contrary. We are promised that things, disease, illnes will happen to us or ones we love. The good news is that jesus is there to walk us through it and comfort us along the way.

Answer 6

So that the glory of God can be seen, just as Jesus said when He healed the man who had been blind since birth.

(King James Version)

John 9
1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Answer 7

He gave us illness so we can discover the medicines. We fall, so we can learn to grow.

Their logic works backwards.

They are stupid so they can learn to be smart, but can they?

*lol with sarcasm*

Answer 8

God didn't make people sick, or do bad things- God gets a bad rap by being blamed for everything- fammine, floods, earthquakes,,,,

But, this whole planets been handed over to Satan- Satan, is the god of this planet.

So, who should REALLY be blamed for sickness, death, floods, earthquakes,,,,,??

Answer 9

that's one of those questions where either the devil or free will have a role... omniscient eh?

Answer 10

Remember the band from the eighties that sung "Don't Forget About Me". There is your answer.
