If he knows and then creates it making it inevitable, how can he not be the cause of it?

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
If he knows and then creates it making it inevitable, how can he not be the cause of it?God knows what is going to happen. That doesn’t mean that God sends disasters and pandemics to kill people. The Titanic, 9-11 and the current virus are the doings of man not God.
No, but thanks for your brotherly love and concern for my foot.Is this because you will shoot your own foot if you answer it?
I'm not allowed in that forum.No, but thanks for your brotherly love and concern for my foot.
I have created a thread "How could God allow this?" in the apologetics forum for Christians in which I address this.
I think the problem of evil is easily answered by scripture.The "problem of evil" is a logical argument created by Atheists to deny God exists (you can google it, there is a wikipedia page for it). I highly doubt they would phrase their question the way you have.
However, I have created a thread "How could God allow this?" to address this question. It is for Christians only in the apologetics forum.
Perhaps you should try reading what I have written. I have said multiple times that disasters and pandemics are the fault of men, not God. Where did I say that God created any of them? Please don’t put false words in my mouth.If he knows and then creates it making it inevitable, how can he not be the cause of it?
Not everything God sends is without a means. Don't you as a Lutheran depend on a miracle incased in otherwise natural means?Perhaps you should try reading what I have written.

The Titanic hitting an iceberg was not God’s doing. It was caused by a captain who ignored ice warnings and sailed his ship full speed into an ice field.
9-11 was certainly not God’s doing. That was the work of terrorists who gained control of several jets.
The current pandemic is not God’s doing. This virus arose of of unsanitary conditions at Chinese markets.
God has been there for everyone who has suffered from all of these.
Just ask permission, it takes 1 minute. The discussion belongs in the apologetics forum, they will have an issue with it being in News and current events.I'm not allowed in that forum.
Incased? I don’t think that is a word.Not everything God sends is without a means. Don't you as a Lutheran depend on a miracle incased in otherwise natural means?

God hates sin and sinners. Is one biblical answer. And the wages of sin is death. Also, in his 4 judgments he sends are war, famine, plagues, and wild animals (bats people eat etc.). We see this in Revelation and in the OT. capped off by;"How do we answer unbelievers who ask Christians, why our loving God would (allow or send) this microscopic enemy to reek such devastating havoc on the world."
Not only unbelievers, but many Christians are also asking this Q. You can be a believer and still ask these questions.
I am addressing this question in a new thread "How could God allow this?" in the apologetics forum. I don't think the discussion belongs in Current events and suspect it would be moved if we persist with it here."How do we answer unbelievers who ask Christians, why our loving God would (allow or send) this microscopic enemy to reek such devastating havoc on the world."
Not only unbelievers, but many Christians are also asking this Q. You can be a believer and still ask these questions.
God controls all free choices according to his eternal plan.That's not an answer. We all have many influences on us but we still make free choices. Where does scripture say God plans our every move, thought, and action?
Then why is a Christian asking the question on this thread?The "problem of evil" is a logical argument created by Atheists to deny God exists (you can google it, there is a wikipedia page for it). I highly doubt they would phrase their question the way you have.
However, I have created a thread "How could God allow this?" to address this question. It is for Christians only in the apologetics forum.
You need to put it in a forum everyone has access to. I have a solidly biblical answer to this question.I am addressing this question in a new thread "How could God allow this?" in the apologetics forum. I don't think the discussion belongs in Current events and suspect it would be moved if we persist with it here.
Paul.Says who?
I am open to moving it to a thread that everyone has access to, I thought everyone did have access to that one. But, I am pretty sure it doesn't belong in Current events and News. Yes, it is a reasonable question to ask based on the current events, but it is a question about the bible, not the news.Then why is a Christian asking the question on this thread?
An atheist has no reason to even believe concepts like good and evil exist.
