Cornavirus why did god create it

Post #1

Post by Donray »

Why did God create a new virus to kill people? This is a question for any Christain that believes in the Noah myth or creationism. Because if either is true then God did create this virus and did it to kill people.

Also, why does God allow this virus when he could wave his wand and get rid of it?

Seems reasonable

Ah yes, fallen angels . . . or maybe fairies, or leprechauns. When imagination runs wild there are many possibilities.

Coming from a Christian perspective, I would ask, why would God cure the virus?

Biblically God has promised to wipe out all sicknesses, birth defects and disease. "Even death will be no more". Not because we are worthy, but because we are loved!

QUESTION: Will there be sickness and disease on the paradise earth?

No, nobody will get sick and all diseases will be eliminated.

Although the road to perfection will take some time (1000 years) we can expect the bible promises to eliminate sickness, handicap and disease to be immediate.

Jesus instantly healed people of their ailments when he was on earth; while they were not restored to perfection (they did not become perfect men and women that never thereafter made a mistake) , their handicaps or ailments instantly disappeared. This was a demonstration on a small scale of what he plans to do on a global scale; so we can expect that from the start of Jesus' reign ALL those that survive will be freed of any ailments, sickness or handicaps they might have. Disease (contageous illnesses) will immediately disappear forever..[/quote]

Another promise has at times been made, "The check is in the mail." Until the check arrives, one can not be sure the promise was true.

The same applies here. Until and unless this happens, one can not be sure the promise is true. Humans have made many claims about the future on the behalf of their god/gods. It's a very easy thing to do.

Some have even included dates with their predictions. We all know how well that has worked out.

Well, it seems that God did, just not the way that you have suggestedThe scientific advancements over the last 100 years (in the field of human health) has surpassed any and all presumed expectations. Hence, the knowledge that God has given the scientists will allow them to create a vaccineThis blessing from God should be acknowledged!
Basically what you are saying is that God didn't create viruses, man did, and that man didn't really find the cures, God provided them. Sorry, but that just won't wash.

Promises, promises. He loves us so much that he will remove all disease, just not now while millions of people are suffering and dying. That's the sort of love you get from a shonky car salesman.

It sounds to me like there will remain a great deal of people with mental illness.
By your own statements.
Will he cure these? Will those people be the same people without that illness?
Does believing IN the irrational, such as talking snakes, count as mentally ill?

What you are proposing is an impossibility. You are asking, "if Satan were to become his own creator...,"

"God" is not an office, HE is the Creator and Originator of all things. He cannot be replaced or overthrown.

The better question would be that if Satan were actually the Creator (thus the God we read about in the Bible) would He be the origin of morality? I would answer that if Satan was actually God than yes of course our morality would be up to him.

I would like to ask you if there is a moral standard that even God Himself must conform Himself to? If there is, than is God really God?

I would ask you if there is something for God to base an "opinion" on.

The Bible says that God doesn't change. But if morality is just God's "opinion", why couldn't God's opinion change, thus changing morality?

Which would make God more godly: holding morality as an "opinion", or being moral by nature?

So god created everything except the stuff that he didn't create, so the fall created a whole lot more stuff that god forgot to create.
The fall created sunsets since they get no mention in the creation myth.
Should we make a list?

On God being evi,Jesus rebuked and countered the teaching that God is evil.
Gen1.31-everything that he made was very good.(Man's life was good ,didn't say perfect)
Gen 6.3-his days shall be 120 yrs.(man's original genetics unable to maintain a body for hundreds of years.see the Sumerian kings list,pre flood of Sumeria vs post).
Our bodies today are very resistant to longevity.and not resistant to what destroys them.
Foregoing is what and how we have short term life.
2Pe.2.1false prophets among the people.Jude 4 men ordained--prophets are ordained by God to minister and confer holy orders.Angels do the same but not carry the title.
Jude 4 were before of old(pre Adam)Sometimes also called old world).
Jude 4 ,also 2pe2.1 denying God--Deny defined is God does not exist=atheism.
Jude 10 speak evil of those things which they know not.also 2 pe 2.4 involved angels and they were not spared jail time or extinction).
Jude 10 but what they know naturally-have knowledge of natural things but no knowledge of Spiritual things.(sound familiar?)
Jude 11 error of Balaam-(rebelling devils too)
Jude 18 mockers(mocking God ,both men and angels).
Jude 19These be they who separate themselves(cause division),sensual(worldly) having not the (Spirit.Gen 6.3).
2 pe2.21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than,after they had known it,to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them(they once believed God existed)(Man is taught the way ,all others in heaven should know it)
1/3 rd of heaven rebelled with Lucifer and Satan as well as some mankind in denying God(turned atheists).
Man's lifespan ,because of this,dropped considerably.Our world went out of control.(Jude ,2pe2 -angels left their estate)(defected).
