Who do you think has control of our weather?
I agree that Job didn't know what he was doing - otherwise, why would he have done it? But, just like if you don't understand that leaping off a 100-story building will kill you, you'll still die. God cannot make exceptions to His laws just because He loves us and delights in our prosperity -...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
Kathi, if God were the King of the whole Earth, then why is Satan able to do anything? If He were King of the Earth, certainly no evil would be allowed at any time. But rather, it is as I have pointed out in Psalm 115, that the Earth, God has given to MEN. He gave it first to Adam in Genesis...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
I think you replied to the wrong post because what you said doesn't match up with my quote above...perhaps you meant to quote someone else? However, I do not say now, nor have I ever said, that God allowed Satan to do anything to Job; He didn't. When Satan complained about that Blessing...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
Well look at what Satan complained about with God, that Blessing wall/hedge that he thought he couldn't get past, but Job had let it down with fear in all his offerings offered in fear over his children. Then later he laments that the thing he greatly feared has come upon him, and Proverbs says...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
It's up to you if you want to accept and receive the fact that the reason Jesus was made manifest was "to destroy the works of the Devil." (1 John 3:8). Everything He did falls under that category. Did Jesus receive all sickness and disease at the cross and heal us with His stripes? Yes...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
In that case, it wasn't so much that God removed it actually, it's that Job himself let it down with fear and blocked God from being able to do anything about it. Fear is like setting an appointment with the Devil for him to bring upon you whatever you fear. Just like faith does the same thing...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
Well the Bible says that Satan is the god of this evil world, so I'd say him, as much as people don't like to ascribe everything bad to him, he really is the source of everything bad. Don't forget that Satan pursues the destruction of every one of God's people far more than the gentiles. We...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
Obviously God the Father knows, but just as Jesus was able to have all His divine knowledge stripped from Himself so that He did not know when He was coming back, God is obviously able to do the same thing, so that just because He knows, doesn't mean He is making anyone choose anything. I could...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
Another good one is where people like to point out God being to blame for the snakes that came in killed His people, but when you read the actual original Hebrew in that chapter of Exodus, it says that God lifted His hand of protection at the people's request and then the snakes, which had been...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
Hey Deborah, I would look into the original Hebrew on those places where God is getting the credit for evil. For example, in Genesis 3, the original Hebrew does not say that God cursed the Earth as He is given credit for in the KJV and most modern translations; He actually just announces to Adam...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
I don't think you are seeing the same thing here; By saying God "allows" evil I think what you hopefully mean to say is that God has allowed for the possibility of evil to exist so that free will and therefore LOVE can exist. A lot of people say God allows evil and they equate that to mean that...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Hey Jason, Paul answered that in Romans when he posited whether we should say that we should sin more because then God can make grace abound more, and he criticized that thinking. It is the same to say that God allows Satan to carry out his evil plans against us, when in reality, whenever...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
God is not allowing evil because of the lines of authority, just as He is not "allowing" good. He is not in charge of things down here - we are, the Church. It's the Devil who has worked ceaselessly to convince the Church otherwise, so that he can run amuck doing whatever and everything gets...- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
No God does not allow evil. To allow is say that God is responsible for it. David says in the Psalms that if you see someone committing a sin and YOU don't speak up against it, YOU are just as guilty as the one who committed the sin. Does evil = sin? Of course it does. So for you to say that God...- TheCurseoftheRodain

The Psalms even say that the Earth God has given to men, which is where Adam got the authority, and then the rest of what I pointed out from the Scriptures.- TheCurseoftheRodain

Well, that is #1 pre-cross, and #2 part of Jesus' unique mission to go to and through the cross. What I put forth above is still valid.- TheCurseoftheRodain

Who do you think has control of our weather?
Actually He's not in control of everything (even Proverbs 18:21 says life and death (and then Deut 30:19 with blessing and cursing) are in YOUR tongue, not His)). He gave all His authority on the Earth to Adam in Genesis 1 and Satan won it from him and had it until Jesus took it and gave it...- TheCurseoftheRodain
