God or Satan

[Susannah]

Does this deadly virus come from Satan? Or is God trying to transform the world in some way. I started out thinking that this was part of God's plan to separate the good people from the selfish people. Who would come together to help others and who would take what they need and abandon others. Now I'm not so sure and would like to know what others think.

God does not create evil.

NO virus comes from God.

It comes from a disordered world order which God created PERFECT,,,
but is also fallen as a result of the fall of Adam and Eve.

We need a thread on Adam and Eve.

Tomorrow....

Thanks. I think I finally see the light. But I do want to point out that in my life good has come out of evil. God makes use of everything. The virus has helped me see how important it is for me to cling to him and this Christian community. I was biased against Christians and now I am getting over this. I could tell you hundreds of stories of how God has taken bad situations in my life and turned them into the beginning of a miracle. I will save that for another time. One example is being directed to this board after being banned by another Christian Forum for the sin of thinking for myself and still being a bit of a seeker rather than a true believer in their eyes. Jeff rescued me and he works for God.

Jeff is a great person and is trying to do something good for these boards.

Susannah,,,,every christian understands how God works good out of evil.
If you think of something that heppened in your life that was unpleasant, you could now look back on it and see how some good came out of it.

For instance,,,although my mother was the youngest of 3 sisters and died at a pretty young age (IMO), it's a good thing that she died before my father...although at the time it was so heart-breaking.

And your being banned worked out for the good.

The difference between us and others is that we can see good in everything because of the love of God we feel within ourselves. The love causes us to see the good.

this will sound cliched but God made Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. If they werent born evil they certainly became it as leaders.
I see some good coming out of Germany now Germany is the strong economic power in Europe helping less fortunate countries who struggle.Took a lotcof refugees from Syria and just recently helped the likes of Italy during Covid. Gotta love Merkel too.

Humble Soul !!!!!
What are you talking about?
Germany is the pits and worries only about itself.
How did it help Italy during the virus?
It took some persons in overloaded hospitals up north and made some room
for them in their hospitals...wow!!!!!
After causing poverty to other countries in the E.U. this was the LEAST they could do.

Merkel is good...she's good for HER country...which is why she's voted.

But let's not say she's good for the rest of Europe...
she almost made Italy go bankrupt in 2011.

I agree.
At a certain point we prolong death and not life.
It's sad to see what some have to go through.

IMO, this virus is a wake up call compared to all viruses before it. I truly believe this pandemic is a universal government controlled order of bringing the world into submission as they control every aspect of it. Fake news, fake reports of something that is real, but out of hand by the media as they instill fear into people that causes mayhem. It's no different than diphtheria and influenza that killed at least 40% of children back in the early 1900's that included 5 of my Great Aunts and Uncles.

All people are programmed and controlled by the information they recieve. All the media and government has done is repeat 19.
