The power from the devil?

--- Quote from: lauriellen on May 28, 2018, 06:05:44 PM ---Shall there be evil in a city and the Lord has not done it?

He does it THRU Satan and other tools, but God is 100% responsible.

We may not like it, but that’s the reality.

--- End quote ---

I agree with you.  The sovereign God is responsible for and accepts the responsibility for all things.

However, God Himself does not do evil directly because He abhors evil.

Read James 1:13-18.  It takes spiritual discernment to understand these truths.  God does not tempt anyone to do evil, and all good comes from our Great God.

Read the first two chapters of Book of Job.  God did not kill Job's ten children.  Satan killed them by a wind storm.  Not an act of God.  But an act of Satan.  Satan is the god of this world and the prince of the power of the air.

God does not kill babies by a tornado or hurricane.  Satan kills them.  Satan was a murderer from the beginning and the father of lies.

God does not approve the rape of children.  Evil men rape children due to their evil heart and approved by Satan.

Only God's Spirit can give understanding of these matters, and only the very few can understand at this time

lauriellen:
Dear John, I understand and agree with everything you wrote. I just don’t understand what we accomplish by saying God did not do it himself, but created and sent the tool to do it? What difference does that really make? The end result is the same, just exactly as God planned for it to happen. I guess I am a realist. I prefer to say that God Killed (I am not accusing God of murder - BIG difference) my son thru the means of a car accident. The deer may have run across the road causing the “accident “ in the relative sense, but I see everything happening as from the hand of God in the absolute sense. I know God’s motives are good and I know that the tool he uses may have an evil wicked motive. Yes, satin and evil do these despicable things in the relative sense, but it is God doing it in the absolute sense.

Mortemir:
I agree with everything, but what i mean is. Did God also create the devil so he can heal? When people pray (who do not be live), is it devil himself who heal? Like lauriellen said: "but created and sent the tool to do it" i don't see the logic if god himself heal (because they are not in spirit). But through God, he created a tool and allowes the Tool to do things that God can do, but the devil can only do it if God allows him to do it.

lareli:
Are you asking, how is it that unbelievers are able to have their prayers answered? Is it God who grants them their requests/healing? Or is it their father the devil who grants them their requests?

Dave in Tenn:
Mortemir, it is not the role of Satan to "heal".  If "healing" is genuine, then it is a gift of God and it matters nothing who did the "praying".  We are looking forward to a genuine and permanent "healing".  This only God can provide.
