The Creator and pure goodness are the same thing. Evil cannot come from the Creator.>>>>I'm not sure what your getting at with this based off our two comments above. We both agree on this. Was it an agreement statement or are u making a counter point to my thoughts. Sorry for confusion.
As for disasters, I don't know. it seems unjust but if the Creator ordained it there must be a good reason. Viewing the Creator like a human ruler with unlimited power isn't the right way to do it in my opinion.>>>what powers does God not posses. Doesnt his will always happen. I'm not viewing him as a human ruler because human rulers dont truly have any power. Only what God gives to them. God has all the power even when we try to take it for ourselves. What I'm getting at is humans can only think in limited terms. We say saving a life is always the right thing, but throughout the bible God has allowed many to perish but it's always part of something greater. So justifying a lie because it saves a life is taking Gods will into our hands. Couldnt God still save those people and us tell the truth. Doesnt he posses that power. The bible says we cant add or subtract even a second from our lives. So could we really do that for others.
