Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, and earthquakes kill tens of thousands of people each year. Multitudes endure crippling diseases, endless suffering, and unspeakable pain. Many non-Christians credit a heartless Mother Nature for giving us all this grief. They fail to consider that "Mother Nature" has a Senior Partner—Father God.

However, if God is responsible for all this heartache, that presents an interesting dilemma. If God is an "all-loving" Father figure, as we are told, we seem to have three choices: 1) God blew it when He made everything (He’s creative but incompetent); 2) God is a tyrant, who gets His kicks from seeing kids die of leukemia; 3) something between God and man is radically wrong.

These are our choices...and those who take time to consider the evidence will lean toward number three. Something between man and God is radically wrong, and the Bible tells us what it is. There is a war going on. We are told that mankind is an enemy of God in his mind through wicked works (see Colossians 1:21). That's not too hard to see. Man is continually committing violent acts such as murder and rape, lying, stealing, etc., as the daily news confirms. He uses God's name as a curse word, while Mother Nature gets the glory for His creation—unless there’s a horrible disaster; then man calls that "an act of God."

An applicable acronym for WAR is We Are Right. Any country going to war does so because it has the conviction that it is in the right. However, a quick look at God's Law shows us who is right and who is wrong. We, not God, are the guilty party. If we want His blessing back on our nation and in our lives, we must make peace with Him, and that is possible only through faith in Jesus Christ.

"For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now" (Romans 8:22) The Evidence Bible.

Another edifying and thought provoking message. It always baffles me when people will blame evil on God and blame creative and awe-inspiring beauty on non-directed randomness. Actual and bold stupidity if you ask me. Foolishness.

Why would they use the name of a God they claim not to exist as a curse word, why would they call Jesus to express disgust?

The names ofPeople who have commited terrible crimes like hitler are not even used to express disgust.
It is only Jesus' name they know, jesus who went about healing and died for our sins.

Humanity are truly enemies of God in their mind through wicked works.
And it is only when a man understands the terrible predicament and danger he's in as a result of breaking Gods law repeatedly and boldly that he'll look for the saviour; Christ Jesus

Thanks Ola.

This is the reason why: \/ \/ \/

Did human action bring about the climate changes we see today?

3) something between God and man is radically wrong.

If this is the answer to all the problems, What is God waiting for then? No be him be Oga @ the top? Who is man to challenge him? let him do something I beg?

If he want to destroy the world let him do so sharp sharp.

Is like he enjoys all this ugly events in this world. I think he does enjoy it!

By the way: Religion in Nigeria is a natural disaster

I dont expect u, Alfa or any other here that dont already believe in Christ/God to understand. The bible says if the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do?

It is a foundational problem that started in the Garden of Eden, though God has set a day that He will restore all things, but for now things will remain like this n even get worse.
