Did God send this virus into the world

[Dave L]

Which of these “glorious attributes” does the world now see?

The world is blind and doesn't believe in Christ. But the Spiritually minded and the heavenly host learn to know God through them.

 

[Dave L]

Scripture please.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV 1900)

 

[Dave L]

Yet there were people saved prior to Jesus that were not of Israel. You limit God by your man made interpretation.

They were Israel too. All believers of all time are the people called by Jesus' name.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV 1900)

 

[Dave L]

God doesn't need to prove anything. He doesn't need sin to reveal himself. That's absurd and unbiblical.

No sin, no understanding of God.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV 1900)

Where is “Israel is Jesus and the church” in that verse? “Jesus”
isn’t there. “Israel” isn’t there. “Church” isn’t there. Please provide scripture where the nouns you use are in the sentence connected as you connect them.

So he’s not revealing his glorious attributes after all despite you’re saying he is.

Which glorious attributes is he revealing to the heavenly host through the current pandemic? Surely if you think it so you can name a few that have been revealed now.

Well said Dorthy. We could add the “glorious attribute” of the Titanic sinking, of the twin towers coming down, etc.

Paul says this is the reason God created.

Matthew and Paul say Jesus is Israel. And Paul says believers are too.

God created mankind so He could send pandemics and destruction?

Judgement glorifies him just as mercy does.

As I’ve said, you go right on thinking that God sends pandemics and destruction on mankind. You are entitled to your beliefs. I don’t agree. You might have noticed that most of the posters here disagree with you.

Read your bible and find where God does not do these things. I can prove he does many times over.

I asked you WHAT glorious attributes are being shown. This does not answer that question. Face it, you can’t name any attribute shown, glorious or otherwise.

How?

 

[Dorothy Mae]

Doesn’t mean he did.

Sovereignty? Judgment? Righteousness? Mercy? Wrath? Goodness? hatred of evil? love? Grace?.... etc.

 

[Dave L]

How?

Because sending plagues as judgment for sin, as he often does in scripture shows his goodness.

So how does the current pandemic make the heavenly
host think these things about God?

You see, when God shows his glorious attributes others actually see them and rejoice. I know something about this and it’s imperative others see these attributes for them to be defined as known. Question marks mean you don’t know so I’ll take that as a “you have no idea.”
