He's not the one in control of this world. Someone has been given control to attempt to prove his claim.

So God is not in control of the world? Did he give up his control willingly? Isn't that like a parent willingly giving their child to a molester? How can you think that is in any way a good thing?
So I would indeed agree that the one causing it is to blame. One of his claims has always been that man serves God only when God helps. So God has given permission for that one to inflict you with all sorts of evil things to test that one's claim.

So God lets bad things happen just to win a bet?
To continue my analogy, that's like the parent giving their child to a molester and saying, "Be as horrible as you want, my child will still love me."
Because you refuse to accept truth.
orly?
Not applicable. I gues you didn't read the link, because it makes it clear in the page that it applies to the priests performing rites and ceremonies, NOT the general public! "The use of these lavers did not pertain to the general public, nor to their eating foods with washed hands."
This one actually provides a Bible passage. When we look at it, it says: "
30:17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
30:18 Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
30:19 For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
30:21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations."
Again, it is refering to the people performing rites and ceremonies, NOT the general public needing to wash their hands before they have lunch.
And this says that the washing of hands was an oral tradition of man, not something that came from the Bible: "These washings were commanded by
tradition, not by Scripture."
So it still doesn't seem that you can show me where the Bible says you must wash your hands to get rid of germs before you have your lunch.
Again: "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips."
So instead of answering my question, you call me foolish.
Aren't you delightful?
Funny how you got to attempt a strawman because you have nothing valid.
He did - see above - as I said - you just wont accept the truth is all. And then when told in verse after verse to wash to be clean - you think people didn't use common sense and wash after they go to the bathroom. When anyone touching excrement was unclean for seven days and were required to wash. Because that bacteria could linger for days and infect others.
Seems God is more concerned with the priests washing their hands so the offerings they burn for him aren't dirties than he is with telling people to wash their hands before lunch. Every single source from the Bible you provided was about priests burning meat offering, not the common people having lunch.
But no, you want everyone to believe they never bothered or knew better. Strawman of the highest order.
Excuse me? I never said that they didn't do it. I said that there was no passage in the Bible where God told them to wash their hands before eating. The only passages from the Bible that you have been able to provide are talking about offerings used in religious ceremonies - which does not include the builder sitting down for his midday meal!
You are funny.
