This has nothing to do with theology. 

It has to do with your comments to believe that God controls what is happening in the Sun. That is using what is happening in the Sun to sent messages to the earth. To the people on the earth. 

God has his prophets to give his messages to people and the Sun is not one of the prophets of God. 

We are not politheistic to believe that the Sun is a God and controls the factions of the Sun and we have to offered sacrifices to him to appease him in the same way people offered sacrifices to the God of the volcano and some still do. I do not believe that.

After God made everything He rested. No need to maintain the clocks of his creation. 

Those beliefs are found in the idolatrous people. That's what they believe. 

If you do not believe that God has control of everything and that includes the Sun then we should not be communicating.

It'll be interesting when these storms begin affecting electronics, or all electrical devices.

Some that know about this stuff are also predicting magnetic poles are reversing and claim it has happened before in the earth's past.

God directly has nothing to do with what is taking place in the Sun. 

!!!!!!!

Shalom, @Your closest friendnt.

REALLY?! YHWH God is the MAKER OF THE UNIVERSE! And, you think He has "nothing directly to do with what is taking place in the Sun?" Are you meshuggah (crazy)?! He CONTROLS the movements of every nuclear particle in the Universe! He maintains them and orders their existence!

Colossians 1:9-17 (KJV)

9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, and BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST (STAND TOGETHER).

You MUST know this truth if you're going to understand just how BIG a God you have! THIS is the true purpose of science!

I understand what @Your closest friendnt wrote. Here it is in a nutshell:

The Lord can indeed control anything and everything, but He rarely chooses to do so where matters like the Sun and weather are concerned. I agree with that.

Lots of overreacting going on.

Castigating someone for expressing an opinion by calling them "crazy" is an excellent way to ensure that our readers will avoid expressing their own opinion to avoid the same. The above is neither a gentle nor meek rebuke of one whom --- in your own opinion --- is in error.

Hard for us humans to properly disseminate I think, exactly what He is doing and how He is doing it! He puts laws in place and things act according to those laws.  For instance, while He created gravity and the laws that govern gravity, He doesn't have to directly be involved every moment to make sure that gravity works properly.

But also to your point, it does appear that many natural things affecting our world are changing these days.  For instance, I believe He is "turning the heat up" in our world with respect to various things, such as war/rumors thereof, the weather, etc. (when heat is turned up, living things ripen faster), in order to usher in His kingdom.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall ^[a]direct your paths.

I wasn't in chat Thursday because I was out taking pictures of the Aurora.

I believe this, too, and that in telling Adam to subdue the earth God gave us some ability to influence the system in ways that have only been growing.  Irrigation and aqueducts are means of influencing our environments, as is the more modern technique of cloud seeding.  On paper this is amazing and wonderful.  It shows that we were entrusted with this capability to alter our environmental conditions, which is pretty incredible if you think about it.  If this wasn't intended for us then we simply wouldn't have the ability to comprehend the laws God designed, nor would we have the ability to interact with those laws.
