I have given you my words on why I think God has created everything in this world. I am done. God's blessings to you Hazard.

Your words mean nothing, its God's Word that we believe and live by.  I'll be a fool for truth's sake. Truth is fallen in the street. I won't pass it by, I'll pick it up and embrace it regardless of the costs.

Truth is like a rock, Throw it into a group of men,  — the one it hits will yell the loudest.

I'm never  finished defending God's Word,  .  .  .  .  and God's blessing to you also.

sickness and suffering is not a good thing. God doesn't cause it but he allows it for whatever purpose He has in our lives. God has created everything. Not everything he has created is good. Why did He create it. I don't know.

Colossians 1:16 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Well, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth, and it was good. Then mankind disobeyed God, sin brings death, and God cursed His creation, it is no longer the good that it was, but there will be a new heaven and an new Earth.

I am not sure that I would go so far as some in this thread to claim that God does not do sickness, consider these:

The Lord said to him [Moses], "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?" (Exod 4:11)
See now that I, I am He, and there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand. (Deut 32:39)

You sound quite angry in your remarks to MissMuffet. 

Have you forgotten the plagues that God set upon Egypt that God set upon all of Egypt? The first born of the Hebrew's house would have suffered death had God not instructed a lamb's blood be painted on the doorway of the Hebrew houses so that God's death angel would pass over and not take those innocent lives too. 

 

And all these plagues befell after Gods hardening the Pharaoh's heart so that he would refuse Moses command on God's behalf to set the Hebrew slaves free.

Plagues and the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, all these things were punishment by God, nothing to do with God creating sickness. And no, I'm not angry with anyone?

God created the sickness that was delivered as punishment.

This clearly defines inspiration. It is simply God putting words in the mouths of prophets and being with them in all they say (V. 15-16; cp. Num. 23:5, 16: 22:35; Dt. 18:18; John 17:8). He shall be thy spokesman (V. 16), or prophet (7:1). This indicates that prophets were spokesmen for God, and were qualified only by His Spirit, having received the gift of prophecy (Acts 3:21; 1 Cor. 12:1-11; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; 4:1-4; 2 Peter 1:21). They spoke to men in God's place (V. 16). Moses retained his position as mediator.

Show us ONE SCRIPTURE from any chapter in the entire Bible where it is stated God created sickness

Sure, the context is about what God can do, but it does not negate the fact that God said he makes people mute, deaf, and blind, that He kills and wounds, not to mention He likely struck Miriam with Leprosy, and I would guess we could add, Anninias and Saphira, and Acts 23 was not due to a demonic action, but an Angel of the Lord.

So I would ask, which do you think is better, to take God at His word, or to protect pet doctrines? You asked for one instance, you have been given several by me and others, but you do not seem open to receiving what you requested. Not sure why I even bother sometimes. I guess I am just an optimist at heart.

God sent a plague of the locusts, a plague of darkness, plagues of frogs, flies, all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt, the plague on livestock, the plague of boils, the plague of hail, God even turned the river into blood. 

God the creator of life can take life away and so He took the  firstborn in the land of Egypt. All these things were punishments sent by God. God did not create sickness.

I'm not sure why I bother at times either, and this has nothing to do with pet doctrin's, I'm as usual quoting Scriptures.

The question being debated in the last few posts is, did God create sickness.

Sure God can do anything He wants, but nowhere can I find in God's creation account where He stated, I created sickness, and it was very good? Plenty of Scriptures also teach demons posses people, cripple them, make them sick, make them cut themselves with stones and knives, throw themselves into fire, makes them deaf and dumb, makes people tell lies, murder each other, it cuts both ways. I would like to see one scripture where God said, "I CREATED SICKNESS, AND IT WAS VERY GOOD."

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
