Or is it man's fault?
With the recent chemical spill reported on the news, it made me think (I know, a rare moment
)
Just how dangerous is the Ohio derailment disaster? Why it's confusing.
As a premise, I look at precedent when addressing the issue within the scope of my signature:
Gen 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
The word “dominion” has an understanding of rulership and control as if God just said, “It is yours to do as you wish”. It was without defect.
Then Adam decided to follow a different spirit and the death cycle began over man’s dominion.
I look at today with all the herbicides, pesticides, food additives, fake foods (twinkies that are just as moist and creamy 5 years after it laid on the countertop to be bought), sugars, vapes, cigarettes, opioids and wonder, “is it really God’s fault that He is doing nothing?” or is it the Adam’s syndrome of blaming others and God for was he did with his own possession? (If you think Adam is allegorical – it would still be applicable)
Then you have diseases caused by man playing with DNA of animals or transmitted diseases caused by perverted actions of intercourse.
Or how about what long term effects of radiation both in the testing of nuclear devices or the effect Fukushima or Chernobyl? Do we really know the long term effects of what is happening to the oceans and on land? Or do we just trust the government when they say “It’s all right to live there now”?
So is the proliferation of diseases et al really a lack of God's love or is it the results of the arrogance of man?And, in this 21st century, (IMV) – would actually make me wonder if today’s “Why doesn’t God do something if He is so loving” sound more like a victim mentality effort to relieve humanity of their personal responsibility.
In my worldview, I would say God will do something to prevent mankind’s and his ownership of the world from destroying themselves. Matt 24:22 King James Bible And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
So, IMV, it’s man’s fault. I'm sure others will disagree.
