It's not a theology Dorothy.
What about
Well truth is really powerful.
Yes there is. But the question already assumes a contribution on Gods part I wouldn’t accuse Him of and expect an answer. IOW, accuse God of wrong, that is refusing to start with the premise that He is good, and you can expect no answer.
Dorothy, there is no answer as to why there is evil in the world.
Not quite. You said we get well. I said God heals us. They aren’t the same thing.
Dying isn’t healing.
When God tells a man the truth about his illness, it’s powerful.
Yea there is.
Well God created a group of angels who had free choice. They then invited in or instituted evil. God didn’t say, “let there be evil.”
He sovereignly gives man free choice and is not requiring we get approval for those choices. Biblical sovereignty is not micromanaging. That’s actually tyranny.
But what He wishes to do is always good….morally good, among other admirable attributes.
God will have to tell the man...not me.
God is all-good.
No, the amazing body is made such that a great of the time it heals itself. It’s astounding.
No one considers that healed. Mary and Martha didn’t hear that Lazarus was healed when he was dead.
They wanted to be worshipped like God. There are matters the angels are not allowed to do,
To answer that takes more than the space available. Evil didn’t come to be at that point.
Because we are asking the wrong question.
He won’t heal everyone because not everyone is obeying him. He requires done to do something first.
The body doesn't just heal itself.
Ah the old naturalist .
Yes it does. I was premed and it not only heals itself, we know how. It’s pretty amazing. The reason why a sick person sleeps a lot, for example, is so that the body can put all its effort into healing or fighting invaders.
We ought to distinguish between healing God organized in the garden and healing than occurs because He touches and heals outside of that amazing arrangement. It’s similar to “all babies are miracles” which they might mean “all babies are tremendously amazing” but doesn’t mean we don’t know how babies are made.
I told you, the desire to be like God. They didn’t desire to sin. They desired a pleasure that wasn’t allowed because it was a lie. Might as well ask why God made truth.
Why do creatures choose to do evil is the right question. Our own inner workings a d the Bible tells us it’s because we desire pleasures in a wrong way. Or “you want and don’t have, you don’t have because you don’t ask, you ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives.”
This is not an attack.
Wondering, God didn’t create good, love, courage, kindness or evil, hate, murder, or thievery. You can read Genesis through and through or Job and you’ll find God made matter, not the non-material.
No. I don't see what you mean.
This is too far off topic.
Start a new thread as you suggest.
