What's wrong with God? - A view on the world disasters.
Greetings to you dear readers, my name is Laszlo Mark, and I am living in Eastern Europe and I am working as a protestant pastor. Please accept my dedicated Christian view, on world disasters, because I don't have other beliefs.
What is your opinion, dear readers? If you are a Christian then God gives you the possibility to choose whatever you want. He won't enter your life if you don't want that, but if you wish and you pray for that, He will be glad to conduct your life. You don't have to accept my view, but you should think about, if I am wrong or not.
Today I want to reflect on this question: what's wrong with God or what about those disasters.
So what's wrong with God? Dear readers: lets have a question, do you consider that is a problem with Him? Yes? Hmmm, you should see why you say yes, No? I am thinking the same, but anyway God does know what exactly he wants. Nothing is outside his wish, please remember that.
Nowadays I think the world's disasters have become part of our life, we are living with them. If I open the television, or radio, or I am surfing the internet, I could not observe, that every big news headine is about disasters everywhere in the world. From day to day, we are less and less surprised, by these disasters. For instance nowadays in our country the river Danube making from day to day new records in being high, and more thousands of people are evacuated because river Danube. A big catastrophe was in 2004, the Asian tsunami, but we can see many other catastrophes. So what is the role of God in these events? I am not starting directly from God, but from his creature, because there is the sourc of disasters. As we know, God created us with a freedom. We have such a freedom, that we can make everything, or anything, whatever we want to do. We have the freedom to choose the good, to make good things, but we can choose badly too. As we can choose good things, unfortunately we are disposed to do bad things. So regarding the question what's wrong with God?, I will return this question, and I put it in another way what's wrong with man?, because God in the beginning created him as a good person, but he is making bad things. We are disposed to ask what's wrong with God, but we should ask: what's wrong with me? What's wrong with us? Why I’m passing over his rules. He gives us rules, not to make bad things, but for being happy, and even in this conditions we love to do, what is forbidden. If you forbid a child, don't do that, we can see that he will do exactly what he was forbidden, but if we say you can do that, he will do exactly vice versa, it wont do that. (I am using this "pedagogical method" when I am teaching). And if it's true for a child, for the adult persons it's more than true: we are disposed to do bad things. If we are making bad things, we should know, we will not escape without punishment.
So dear readers, keep it in your mind, the disasters are the answer from God, to our evil conduct. When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately. Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. Luke 21,9-11
