why did God create diseases like cancer and diabetes, etc?

Question

i know this is a really dumb question, but i always think about it. why can't everyone just be healthy and die from old age. why are there these horrible things that people have to suffer through and be miserable. i would love to hear any opinions on this, thanks

Answer 1

summer, god didn't create those things. biblically speaking, they came into being after man's fall from grace. after that man became prone to an imperfect world, and diseases are a part of that. i might also point out that many diseases, however tragic, are sometimes the result from man living in a way that he wants rather than what god intended for him. for example, diabetes from way too much processed foods and sugars, cancer from smoking, or eating poorly, and so on. this is not to say that everything is man's fault, but because the world fell with man, he is subject to it's problems. it's also why god came in the form of jesus christ to save man from that. god knows that there are many difficulties in the world, but he said, "fear not, for i have overcome the world." what this means is that when man fell and was cast out of eden, man gave possession of the world over to satan. because of this, the state of the world changed and it has been the same since. what christ did was literally buy back the world and take what was originally his before he gave stewardship over to man. god's time is different than ours, thus he lets things stay as they are, but for only a short bit of time. there will be a time when he makes all things new, all things right, and all things perfected.
i heard it phrased like this once:
"imagine the history of man's time on earth as a light switch. ok, now man was in darkness and god came and turned on the light. this was christ's death and resurrection. now if you can imagine it, a light might seem to come on instantaneously when turned on, but it actually doesn't. there is a space of time (however small) where the electricity has to run from the switch, through the wall, into the cord, and to the light bulb to have it turn on. we are living in the time from which christ 'turned on the light' and that which 'the light comes on.' but rest assured, we know that the switch has been turned on, therefore we can rest knowing what will ultimately come as the result of christ's action"

what seems like a long time to us is not so much to god. one also has to understand that god wants to make all things right and eliminate suffering, pain, sadness, and even death because those things are not in his character. however, god intends to do this once, and when done, man will no longer have the choice to be saved. his judgment will come and men will be either be with him or they will not. he delays and extends man's time and the world as we know it, not out of his desire to have man suffer the world's cruelty, but so that all man might hopefully come to know him and be saved and that none shall be lost. it's his greater love for man that he allows things to be as they are for as long as possible, although it might sound contradictory to some. it isn't though.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 4

People used to be healthy. And die of old age at like hundreds of years old. Really old. diseases are the result of sin. In fact, all the worlds ills are directly man (and woman's) faults. It even stretches out into space beyond earth. That's why the Bible has it written in it, "all creation groans." God did not invent diseases. He did not create evil either. It's the by product of evil. Want to blame God? It's okay with Him. Just put everything wrong, with even you, on His Son. It's allowed even. Which just goes to show all of us how bad scapegoating anyone at all is.

Answer 5

If you read through the Bible, you will find that God gave 614 laws to Jewish people. Almost 1/4 of those dealt with health issues: diet, sanitation, washing, medicine, exercise, etc.

God knew that one of the consequences of sin would be sickness. So he gave instructions on how to stay as healthy as possible. When we break those rules, through a bad diet, through allowing pollution and chemicals into our environment, by doing things like smoking or overeating sugar, the results is going to be disease.

God did not create them. They are one of the consequences that follows sin. That was one of the reasons that Jesus was able to heal diseases. He had power to stop any of the effects of sin.

Answer 6

Born in the imperfections of sin means to be born dying, any thing can happen to any body at any age, so we either have a short life full of all these troubles with the promise of Salvation, or if God wiped it all out, then we would have nothing at all, as offsprings of Adam 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; by &
through Christ Jesus we have the promise of Salvation, the heavens and the earth do as well. 2Pet.3:13;

Answer 7

It isn't a dumb question at all, dear one. Lots of people wonder why there is so much suffering in the world. And the reason is because of sin. Sin separated us from God at the very beginning of creation and only through Christ can we be reconciled to God.

Blessings to you!

Reminds me of a quote from Q in the series finale of Star Trek, TNG...

Picard asks Q, "Did you create the anomaly?", Q's reply is classic...

""No, no, no! You're going to be so surprised when you find out where it came from - if you ever figure it out."

I think many people will be surprised in the same way Picard was suprised when he discovered the source of the anomaly that was going to destroy humanity...that all these diseases and other things that make life such a trial are a direct result of OUR choices. God told us EXACTLY how to avoid all sorts of physical and mental conditions...why blame him for something we created through out decision to ignore his instructions for the proper care and maintenance of the machine he created?

Answer 9

If everything were always peachy and great...would really need God? Often its the trials we go through that cause us to trust God. Often these trials cause us to realize that in and of ourselves we are nothing. It is God that we must depend on and He sometimes uses the trials to teach us that He is in control. He teaches us so much when we see others go through trials and when we go through trials.

Answer 10

Does it matter? Besides the way I see it, I wouldn't want to die of old age. My great-grandma is ninety now and pees her bed every night because she can't get up. Is that how you want to live? Being too sore to get out of bed every night so you pee yourself, you have nothing to do but look outside the window and young people full of life while you merely wait for death to find you.
