Personal opinion of @op. Most of deaths is as a result of sickness. May be, @op is not even a christian.

HIV1: I still can not comprehend what you are saying. You have quoted many authors, Mathew Mark Luke John. Little did you realise they were human beings like you grin. If Jesus can save why did'nt he save himself. The shortest verse in the bible is: Jesus wept! cool

True. There is no God so he cannot bring sickness.
Re: Sickness Is Not An Act Of God by thirty(m): 3:40pm On Jan 06, 2013
J12: Sickness is an act of nature, God made nature. Therefore, sickness is an act of God.
Sickness is natural.

I strongly believe that sickness is only encountered when God leaves u at the mercy of the devil eg. Jobs' predicament and since the devil is of murder, robbery and destruction, it all fits the bill.

Correction; God created Angel Lucifer. Angel Lucifer got corrupted and became, by his own free-will, the devil. God only gave him, the devil a home away from Heaven... HELL.

The authors that were quoted were human beings, yes. But they were all inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the Holy Bible.
Christ did not save Himself, cos His sacrifice on the cross was the planned salvation that God promised His people. Christ had to go the way of the cross for our salvation to be complete.

You guys say whatever you like! But one thing for sure even though we all agree there might be 1 or 2 or more mishap in the translation of the BIBLE, only a fool will say there's no God.. As for me and my family; we shall worship the LORD.

[quote author=lat4real]If it's not his Act as you said, i wonder why he will allow it to happen in the first place.[/quote

1. Disobedience (sin)
2. To test one's loyalty like d case of Job
3. To prove Himself to those who rabel/ hardened their heart against God Almighty e.g Egyptians and just as He's going to do to some on NL just to prove Himself.

His aim was to come and die to redeem/save the lost souls. By reason of that, "as many that believed, to them He gave power to become the sons of God".

He could have saved Himself if that was the original plan(and thank God Christ did not change His mind when He got to earth, the likes of myself would have been lost with ur likes. THANK GOD FOR JESUS!)

Even when Peter attempted to fight and ended up cutting off of the soldiers' ear, Christ told Peter to put the ear back and said He would have asked His Father(God) to send Him angels for the fight.

If the world had known His aim of coming to the earth, they wouldn't have crucify Christ. His cruxifision is an everlasting victory, satan himself knows this and that is why he is deceiving as many to take with him to hell.

It will be too bad to realise the truth you all heard on earth at the other end. What regret it will be? Make una repent o!

Trust in God... he gave us a will, for we know what is bad and decide to do bad, if you have a good heart you will fear the lord because it is said in Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise Wisdom and instruction

Exodus 4:10-11, "But Moses said to the Lord, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” 11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?". English Standard Version (ESV).

Sickness is from God.

Ephesians 1:11 "In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will," English Standard Version (ESV).

Illogical logic
Re: Sickness Is Not An Act Of God by emmanjo: 12:03pm On Jan 07, 2013
We really need to understand the difference between when man was under the old covenant and the new covenant; before Jesus came and after he came. We need to really understand the Scriptures. We need not just look for a Scripture that points at sickness and diseases and then attribute it to God out of context. The authority we have now in Christ Jesus was not there then. The life we now have was not there then. You can even say God afflicted Egyptians with plagues and diseases. But what does the new covenant (after Jesus' ressurection teach)? Well whether u take it or not, evil is not from God and we are not supposed tonallow the devil.

It is whatever u allow on earth that is allowed in heaven and it is whatever u disallow on earth that is disallowed in heaven...so the Scriptures teach. So if u eant keep allowing the devil (even though God doesnt) want it so, and blaming it on God.
Every good and perffect gift is from the father...the father of light. James 1:17.

Hallelujah!

Nice logic but lets look at the bolded critcally. Do you think God really intended sickness to be an act of nature? Don't you think the actions of our forefathers at the Garden of Eden were responsible for sickness being an act of nature and not God? Food for thought

How does an apple lead to leprosy, AIDs and Cancer?

My dear you'll need spiritual wisdom from the Holy Spirit to decipher what is an apple in the context of the bible. Philosophy or logic won't suffice wink

Wisdom of the holy spirit? lmao.


What you mean to say is that I should suspend my reasoning to accept the illogical things in the bible.


God created all living things and therefore, he created viruses and bacteria!


Sickness is of God.


Joagbaje, go to prison! angry
Re: Sickness Is Not An Act Of God by Obinoscopy(m): 4:09pm On Jan 07, 2013
^^^What if I told you that the apple used in the bible is actually a strand of DNA or air or a females's v@gina or a software or... You get my drift? You need to know what the author (God) meant when he used the word apple in the scriptures. Its only when you know what He meant then you can deduce if truely the asertion that 'apple' can cause AIDS or Cancer is true or not.

I'm also a philosopher thus I believe in logic. But the mistake we often make atimes is that we fail to apply the right logic in the right way.

400 years ago, you wouldnt be making this argument for Genesis. DNA and germ theory are recent advances in science.


Keep remixing the bible.

400 years ago, DNA and germ theory existed. Whether I'll be making the arguement for genesis or not is inconsequential. The fact remains that all creatures of God in the book of Genesis all had DNA in their nucleus and all obey the germ theory. Its unfortunate that man had to wait till now to discover them.

Lol @ bible remixing grin
