Hierdie atrikel is nie noodwendig my eie opinie nie maar interessant hoe die mense glo?

Re: Why does God allow natural disasters?
Die opskrif vra 'n geldige vraag.
Ek aanvaar dat die "God" waarna verwys word, die jaloerse Jahweh van die Ou Testament is.
Die antwoord is eenvoudig.
Jahweh het geen beheer oor die skepping nie, want hy het dit nie geskep nie.

Die artikel verwys na "evil people" en onderskei hulle van Jahweh. Tóg word aangedui dat die "evil people" met toestemming van Jahweh optree. In wese word die "evil people" dan die verlengstuk van Jahweh se wil.
In much the same way that God allows evil people to commit evil acts, God allows the earth to reflect the consequences sin has had on creation.
Kan Jahweh nie maar sy "evil people" onttrek nie?
Of is Jahweh self 'n "evil" god?

Die Bybel gee 'n redelike aanduiding oor wie agter bose handelinge sit. Dit is nie die Duiwel nie, maar die kranksinnige Jahweh van die Ou Testament.
Die HERE sal jou tref met bose swere aan die knieë en aan die bene--waarvan jy nie gesond kan word nie--van jou voetsool tot jou skedel.
het God 'n bose gees gestuur tussen Abiméleg en die burgers van Sigem, en die burgers van Sigem het troueloos gehandel teen Abiméleg,
Toe sê die dienaars van Saul vir hom: Kyk tog, 'n bose gees van God verskrik u:
laat ons heer net sê, en u dienaars wat voor u staan, sal 'n man soek wat op die siter kan speel; en as die bose gees van God oor u is, moet hy speel met sy hand, dan sal dit beter met u word.
Die volgende dag het die bose gees van God oor Saul vaardig geword, sodat hy rasend was binne-in die huis terwyl Dawid soos elke dag met sy hand speel, en Saul 'n spies in sy hand hou.
Maar 'n bose gees van die HERE het oor Saul gekom terwyl hy in sy huis sit met sy spies in sy hand en Dawid met die hand op die snare speel.

Jahweh erken dan dat hy die god van die bose is.
I am Yehowah, and there is none else, there is no Elohiym (God or
Children Of God) beside me:I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,
that there is no one other than me.I am YHVH, and there is no one else.
7I (alone) form the light, and create darkness:I (alone) make peace,
and create evil: I YHVH do all these things.
6 ... Ek is die HERE, en daar is geen ander nie;
7wat die lig formeer en die duisternis skep, die heil bewerk en die onheil skep: Ek, die HERE, is dit wat al hierdie dinge doen.

To put the matter in a single phrase, the greatest deception of YHVH is to prompt you, me and everyone in the world to believe that he is not Satan. He manipulates us to accept something quite opposite. Satan wants people to believe that he is a righteous spirit being who has nothing but your interest (and the interest of all human beings on earth) as his chief desire and that his ultimate goal is to promote your welfare and prosperity. Truly, he wants you to succeed and be prosperous if you will only do things his way. Using the vernacular of the present day, though Satan is truly a bad guy (the worst of the worst), he projects himself to the world and to you and me as a good guy (the best of the best) and Satan has accomplished his task quite effectively. Truthfully, however, Christ Jesus accurately called Satan a murderer from the beginning. He goes about as a roaring lion to devour whom he might, but the impression that Satan wishes to give of himself is utterly different. He wants to express to the world (and to you and me) the very opposite characteristics. And believe me, Satan has managed to pull off the grandest subterfuge ever conceived in the history of the world.
"Shall the trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord [YHVH] hath not done it?" (Amos 3:6)
"The Lord [YHVH] hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." (Proverbs 16:4)
"false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness" (II Corinthians 11:13-15).
