Musterseed:
Is God to blame for the suffering of mankind?
On the LOF front page, this is the question in an email to Ray. I believe it
is a must read for this topic.

Pamela - IMHO - you are absolutely correct. To quote just a few texts - Eccl 3:1 "Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
To every thing there is a zeman (time), and an et (season) for every matter under Shomayim;" Every event and work is with the full intention of our Creator. Paul says - Ephesians 1:11 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
"Also in union with him we were given an inheritance, we who were picked in advance according to the purpose of the One who effects everything in keeping with the decision of his will," His will supersedes the will or the intention of any power and as He would have it - because any power that exists owes its existence and capacity to The Creator who has total control over that creation. Isaiah 45:7 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) "I form light, I create darkness; I make well-being, I create woe; I, Adonai, do all these things." This is the Adonai that I am glad is in full control - what ever reason that those 23 people died for in Lee County (my heart goes out to those friends and relatives in the most sincerest way) but they did not die in vain - as this was a planned purposeful event. If this world was not operating in accord with the purpose of The Almighty - we all would be in serious trouble!!

Dave in Tenn:
This is a better translation, I think.
LITV Ecc 9:11 I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the mighty; nor even bread to the wise; nor even riches to the men of discernment; nor even favor to knowing men. For time and occurrence happen to them all.
The word translated "chance" is פּגע (pega‛) and only occurs two times in the OT. Here's the second one:
KJV 1Ki 5:4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
LITV 1Ki 5:4 And now Jehovah my God has given me rest all around; there is no adversary nor evil happening.
