Have you read the book of Job and what he went through? He started out
a wealthy man and tragety struck! He lost his house, his children, his live
stock, and was struck down with boils!
Yes. Because God was agreed to let the devil do his worst to Job, just to show off how faithful Job really was. It was effectively a bet.
Imagine – this loving God used one of his most faithful followers for a bet. He allowed people to be killed for a bet. What a nice, loving God.
I'm glad that you're over your cough – but I'll try this again. The God of Judeo-Christian tradition is supposed to be all-powerful, all-seeing and all-knowing.
He's supposed to be so powerful that He created everything – the heavens, the Earth and all the animals, including humans. According to the
Bible, he created the mountains and the sea – everything. So this God created earthquakes and volcanoes and floods and tsunamis and hurricanes. When those things kill people, they are being killed by something that God apparently created.
And God also created evil and good – in other words, God created sin. And seeing as God knows everything, he created sin in the full and certain knowledge that it would catch people out. He created people so that they would 'sin' and thus give Him the excuse to punish them.
That is absolutely according to the
Bible. Because if you don't think so, then that means that you don't think that God is all-powerful and all-knowing and all-seeing. It means that you do not believe in the God of Judeo-Christian tradition. It means that you don't believe that He is perfect, as we are supposed to believe. And it also means that you believe that there's someone else out there that is doing some creating of their own. Now you'll doubtless say that that is the devil – Satan, Lucifer. So that'll be the devil that God created. And this is the God that knows everything. So God created the devil and God created sin. What for? To spend eternity playing with people that He supposedly loves? Just like Job?
This is the nature of the God of the
Bible.
And I suggest that you'd be best advised to visit your doctor and let him or her check your health after an episode like that rather than hoping that prayer solved it – something that you have absolutely no evidence for.
