Does Natural=God-given? by kobe(m): 7:23am On Jan 21, 2007 |
If a particular something is natural, does that mean it is God-given? Definitions haven't helped me maximize my knowledge on this, I'm hopeful somebody can clarify. Positive Example: talent at singing Assume I have a talent: is it natural, or God-given If it is natural: does that mean oh it just happens or oh its just there If it is God-given: God gave me that ability If I'm bounded by my religion, I feel obligated to praise God for giving me those abilities. However, if it is something negative: Someone born with an eccentric body part is that natural, or God-given -it can be biological, but lets rule that out & assume the parents are fine and aren't carriers) If it is natural: does that mean oh its just there(or I don't know how it happened) If it is God-given: does that mean thats how it is meant to be (is a deformed body-part a negative, or do we humans interpret it as negative) Natural disasters: Hurricanes for example -Considered negative when they kill Are those natural or God-given If natural: do they just happen(I know there are scientific explanations) If they're God-given - God has made it known that these things will happen How do we in turns explain the deaths that occur as a result of this hurricane(in terms of religion for example) - are the resulting accidents fate or drastic, or something else OR Are these things in general that we should not question In short: help me untangle my perhaps misinterpretation of the two(natural and God-given) |
