Did God send this virus into the world

[Dave L]

Because, God does not "send" punishments onto people. Yes, He did it to the Hebrews... But, He doesn't punish people or the world, like that.. He just allows things to happen.

The one who may have perpetuated this would be more in line with Satan.

Satan would do this and deceive people to believe that God is punishing them. Satan would do this in order to make people hypersensitive to communicable diseases... the dangers of contamination from paper and coin money..

This would then lead to mandatory vaccinations... followed by mandatory marks on people so that we could buy or sell without paper money..

Next time a pandemic comes through, the governments are going to use all the things that they learned from the mistakes that they made here.... and... make vaccination mandatory.

How about the flood? And the Canaanites? And many examples from modern times? Did Aids just happen? The Holocaust? The World Wars according to Revelation?

Prayer moves us into a position to receive from God.

Also as CS Lewis says:

“I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me.”

 

[Dave L]

That's a different topic. They have had entire threads on the argument of God creating evil.

Let's stick to whether God sent this on to earth as punishment... shall we?

It applies to COVID19 too. It didn't create itself.

How many sicknesses are healed by having sins forgiven and repentance granted?

How does that relate? We are supposed to pray for physical healing as well.

Sin = death which includes sickness, even in believers.

God did send the virus to the world. HE could have used someone to manufacture it in a lab. The bible keeps telling us about what will happen to us if we do not obey GOD. If we read the books of the prophets( like Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel), they talk about the punishments we will receive for not obeying our God.
Deutoronomy 28:22 says "The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.
We need to go back to God and stop worshipping the devil and false gods
May God Bless You

Yes we do, but do you believe every sickness is sent by God because people sin? Jesus said Satan is Prince of this world. John 14:30

Who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, (Psalms)

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

So all sickness is because of the sick person sinning?

 

[renniks]

It is a result of the corruption of creation by Satan.

In Adam and in person.

The bible says God sends 4 sore judgments. War, famine disease and wild animals like the Chinese eat.

God did not send this pandemic as a judgement any more than He plopped an iceberg in front of RMS Titanic.

It's all part of his eternal decree. Do you read the bible often?

Ive read it cover to cover multiple times.

The current pandemic was mans’ doing, not God’s doing.

 

[renniks]

In Adam and in person.

No, original sin caused sickness to come upon this world, but not all sin is a result of the sick person sinning.
Mostly, it's a result of living in a broken world.

Where does the Bible say that covid 19 was sent by God?

Where does the Bible say that covid 19 was sent by God?

Paul says he works all things after his will.

 

[renniks]

That doesn't mean he causes all things.

Paul says he works all things after his will.

In context that is about the plan of salvation, not an open ended " everything"

And the Romans verse is about him working good only for those who love him.

Who created the virus?

The virus evolved according to an article published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Medicine.

How can things cause themselves?
