Did God send this virus into the world

[Dave L]

Not according to scripture. No one has to become a Jew to be saved.

Only Israel is saved. Even today. Gentiles need to join Israel to be saved. In the NT, Jesus IS Israel and the unbelievers are not Biblical Israel, but pagan Isreal instead.

There's no indication that job was Jewish.

Job was long before Abraham so long before the
covenant, thus long before the "Hebrews." Job is the oldest book in
the Bible. Archeological discoveries have given light on personal
names of ancient times, and on the basis of the personal names
Albright concludes that the "original story must be dated back to the
second millennium B.C."

Job as not Jewish. Job is the oldest book in the bible and he believed the same as Eve, Able and Job's own friends.

We obviously believe in different gods, the God which I believe in is all powerful, all mighty, sovereign and He does have control over every atom in the universe.

So your god is controlling and behind the child molesters?? Really??? We definitely worship different gods. The God I know hates that behavior.

And nothing can happen outside of His will, this is what He has revealed about Himself, you can add whatever you like to this but I wouldn't dare add anything.

You delete what he’s said instead.

He hasn't revealed much about Himself, He obviously knows that we're not equipped to receive any more than He has revealed in the Bible.

Eternal life is knowing God. He reveals Himself to babes.
To those He’s revealed a lot.

Christ warned us that false prophets would come after He departs, and they would deceive many. God has been silent for the past 2000 years, so there were no new revelations given to us after Christ ascended to heaven.

My sheep hear my voice.

So we only have the same scriptures as they had 2000 years ago.
I don't know why God gave us a limited revelation, but I know He has a perfect reason for it.

He didn’t, but He does hide from some people, it’s true.

I don't know why God created evil, but I know He has a perfect reason for it.

He didn’t. If you believe He creates evil He won’t reveal anything to you. That’s pretty insulting.

It's called faith, we weren't called to interrogate God.

Interrogate? no Ask questions? Yes

We were commanded to trust and obey, so we should live a quite and peaceable life and let God be God.

“In all that you get, get understanding,”

It's actually sinful to ever question God's motives, shall the thing created ask the Creator why has Thou made me this way.

Question motives? no, you are correct. Ask why He did something to understand? Absolutely.

Gentiles need to join Jesus. That’s what the Bible says.

Jesus is Isreal.

But sin reveals the rest of his attributes. No sin = no mercy, no wrath, no justice, no sovereignty, no unconditional love, etc., etc.

But you aren’t talking about sin, you are talking about God sending disasters and pandemics.

 

[Dave L]

But you aren’t talking about sin, you are talking about God sending disasters and pandemics.

As a means of displaying his glorious attributes against a backdrop of sin.

I couldn't agree more, and I believe Christians are partly to blame because we didn't stand against up for we we supposedly believe.
As the old saying goes, "evil triumphs, when good men do nothing".
Church houses used to be houses of worship, and now they're entertainment centers where all kinds of sinners are affirmed and encouraged.

Many, many Christians have given us warning about institution, antichrists and our coming demise - but even Christians eat their young, especially if it is because of an idea or action that is against Status Quo.

We have let so many people suffer a Pophets End (imprisonment, torture, derision, oppression, subjugation) simply because we believe our oppressors and our institutions more than our own minds and our Father.

Now, just as was told, we are easily petrified with fear, and we are setting up the framework for our grandchildren to be eager slaves of a beast system we worked hard to bring to reality.

And, people wonder why there are no more prophets of modernity... The Word of God even said don't cast pearls before swine: Who in their right mind would warn us and then face our ignorant wrath for it? Unfortunately for us, prophecy and warnings would be wasted on the human lot.

It's too late to change, and this was the case long before the "virus".

 

[Archivist]

As a means of displaying his glorious attributes against a backdrop of sin.

Ah yes, His glorious attribute of killing people by pandemic and disaster.

You are free to believe as you wish, of course. I believe in a God who loves us, a God who is more ready to answer our prayers than we are to pray them, a God who does not send disasters or pandemics but who is there for us when such things occur.

Again, you are free to believe as you wish. Happy Easter.

PS You could be more polite on CF. Don’t make a person ask a question over and over. Just answer it.

You see only one side of God which is distorted apart from his wrathful side. How do you explain the horrors of Judgement in the bible he brought on the world in bible history?

Well said JacksBratt.

Thanks

Yet you claim only Israel can be saved.

Isreal is Jesus and the Church.

The causes of such epidemics - which have occurred ever since humans existed - are fully understood, and they are not supernatural. Why would anyone expect God to cancel the laws of nature every time humans are going to be hurt? Steer tornadoes and tsunamis away from human dwellings? Cancel gravity when a scaffold full of workers collapses? Kill microorganisms that are causing an epidemic? We live in a natural world, and are therefore subject to the laws of nature, just as Jesus was during His years on Earth.

Well put

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

Isreal is Jesus and the Church.

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

Scripture please.

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

 

[Dorothy Mae]

Correct. Melchizedek to name one.
