nature killed those unfornates not God
To suggest that nature can override the wishes of God is to admit that God is powerless, or more likely, non-existent.
Did God not have the ability to prevent nature from doing this? Or did God not know about it? Or did God not care?
(Responding in no particular order)
Good questions. For the sake of decent discussion, heres my view from a theistic perspective. God created
systems i.e. the universe is
automatic. or automated, hence obviously, we have cycles and seasons, where we, with a bit of summing up from observation, get a good fair amount of predictability from repeatable natural processes observed;
setting our charts and tables by.
"He made the moon to mark the seasons...( btw also tells us, the moon is not a god.
)
God is not at the helm to prevent these things
anymore, in a manner of speaking,e.g., 'No God' is what people wished for, That's not until that is... the
return of Christ. Death is harsh, yes, and death is inevitable as the bible is written
: 'it is appointed for man to die once...
Heb 2:7" (some aspects to this, as to why the flesh has to die, it maybe tainted, genetically) we will see and experience tribulation as Jesus says. It's not comforting I know, during those periods. The anwsers is tough one, yes of course. I say simply (the pay-grade I'm limited to), He loves us because we
still exist, even when we turn our backs on Him. He
gives life and He
ressurects the dead.
