God is so awesome! He alone is in control of everything 🙌
Me - why u slapped
He - what about the time I didn't
LMAO, this is perfect.
And how if you don't slap me at all, for starters.
Great answer to the question for me. Thank you ❤
Learned a lot From this. thank you
If I was God, I would be much nicer to my creations.
This answered literally nothing. I'm a Christian and even I gained nothing from this explanation.
God controls everything
maybe you don't but there is something in there hope you also see it
It's just an excuse for the unexplainable.
I agree. I’ve been looking for someone to answer this and always found nothing and just a lot of “He could’ve but doesn’t”

Read Job 38, 39, 40 and you will see God is in complete control of the WIND, RAIN, SNOW, HAIL, Lightening, Thunder (His voice), Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Tornados - of ALL His Creation!
2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” We all die because of sin, and no guarantees of HOW our end will come, but God certainly knows - before He formed us in our wombs. (Jeremiah 1:5)
Sorrow brings repentance as Christ wants ALL to come to repentance and put their faith in Him who suffered, bled and died for US. He paid our debt on that cross and then rose from the dead on the 3rd day, defeating death showing us we can defeat death as well and live eternally with Him in Paradise but we must have true faith in Him, live FOR Him and turn from our sin.
Job 38: Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:
2 “Who is this that questions my wisdom
with such ignorant words?
3 Brace yourself like a man,
because I have some questions for you,
and you must answer them.
4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell me, if you know so much.
5 Who determined its dimensions
and stretched out the surveying line?
6 What supports its foundations,
and who laid its cornerstone
7 as the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?
8 “Who kept the sea inside its boundaries
as it burst from the womb,
9 and as I clothed it with clouds
and wrapped it in thick darkness?
10 For I locked it behind barred gates,
limiting its shores.
11 I said, ‘This far and no farther will you come.
Here your proud waves must stop!’
12 “Have you ever commanded the morning to appear
and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
13 Have you made daylight spread to the ends of the earth,
to bring an end to the night’s wickedness?
14 As the light approaches,
the earth takes shape like clay pressed beneath a seal;
it is robed in brilliant colors.
15 The light disturbs the wicked
and stops the arm that is raised in violence.
16 “Have you explored the springs from which the seas come?
Have you explored their depths?
17 Do you know where the gates of death are located?
Have you seen the gates of utter gloom?
18 Do you realize the extent of the earth?
Tell me about it if you know!
19 “Where does light come from,
and where does darkness go?
20 Can you take each to its home?
Do you know how to get there?
21 But of course you know all this!
For you were born before it was all created,
and you are so very experienced!
22 “Have you visited the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of hail?
23 (I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war.)
24 Where is the path to the source of light?
Where is the home of the east wind?
25 “Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?
Who laid out the path for the lightning?
26 Who makes the rain fall on barren land,
in a desert where no one lives?
27 Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground
and make the tender grass spring up?
28 “Does the rain have a father?
Who gives birth to the dew?
29 Who is the mother of the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
30 For the water turns to ice as hard as rock,
and the surface of the water freezes.
31 “Can you direct the movement of the stars-
binding the cluster of the Pleiades
or loosening the cords of Orion?
32 Can you direct the constellations through the seasons
or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens?
33 Do you know the laws of the universe?
Can you use them to regulate the earth?
34 “Can you shout to the clouds
and make it rain?
35 Can you make lightning appear
and cause it to strike as you direct?
36 Who gives intuition to the heart
and instinct to the mind?
37 Who is wise enough to count all the clouds?
Who can tilt the water jars of heaven
38 when the parched ground is dry
and the soil has hardened into clods?
Lamentations 3 :31 For no one is abandoned
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he BRINGS GRIEF, he also shows compassion
because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
33 For he does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.
37 Who can command things to happen
without the Lord’s permission?
38 Does not the Most High
send BOTH CALAMITY AND GOOD?
39 Then why should we, mere humans, complain
when we are punished for our sins?
40 Instead, let us test and examine our ways.
Let us turn back to the Lord.
41 Let us lift our hearts and hands
to God in heaven and say,
42 “We have sinned and rebelled,
and you have not forgiven us.
You mean some creating miracles after killing innocent children? Tell me if that is the definition of a God that's ALL good.
You partially seem to answer the question but not completely. It still isn’t clear why God allows natural disasters from your video.
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will not at all acquit the wicked he has his ways in the whirlwind and the clouds are the dust of his feet. Natural disasters are not "natural"
Consider the intricate web of life on Earth, where every species and natural process is connected. Natural disasters like earthquakes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, volcanoes, and floods may seem destructive, but they play vital roles in the balance of our planet.
First, earthquakes, while causing devastation, release pressure within the Earth's crust, preventing even more catastrophic events. They also create fertile soil for agriculture.
Second, thunderstorms are nature's way of replenishing our atmosphere with oxygen, removing pollutants, and nourishing plants. They maintain a stable climate necessary for life.
Third, tornadoes, though terrifying, serve to redistribute heat and moisture in the atmosphere, preventing the buildup of excess heat and helping to balance global temperatures.
Fourth, volcanoes, despite their fiery eruptions, release essential gases and minerals, shaping our landscapes and providing the building blocks of life. They also regulate Earth's temperature.
Lastly, floods, although destructive, support diverse ecosystems by redistributing nutrients, maintaining wetlands, and ensuring the survival of countless species.
In essence, these 'disasters' are nature's way of maintaining a delicate balance. Without them, Earth would lack the conditions necessary for human existence, and the intricate tapestry of life as we know it would unravel."
@@Jk-ow8ny And couldn't an omnipotent omniscient God come up with some other mechanisms which didn't cause suffering and devastation?
@@LonerStonER217not sure who'd want to worship such a monster but then again it's not true.
the endlessly repeated "We live in a fallen world" argument
Because… that’s the entire reason everything is how it is according to Christianity… with out the fallen world everything wouldn’t matter because nothing would be wrong
@@bikesrcool_1958 which is why I dont believe it.
We die because of sin. Ever since Eve, then Adam disobeyed God by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God said they shall surely die (Genesis 2:16-17). They were living in Paradise, in their perfect, uncorrupt bodies where there was no death, no sorrow, no evil, no corruption, no disease - but once they disobeyed God, the curse of death came upon them - which again, is the punishment for SIN. "for the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord: Romans 6:23
Once sin came into the world, then we had disease, death, anger, lust, murder, sorrow, pain, suffering and everything we see now. God sent his only Son to take OUR punishment on the cross. Without Christ, all would die in their sin and end up in eternal damnation in hell. Before Christ gave up His spirit, He said "it is finished". He made the payment for OUR sin and ALL our sins can be washed away IF we truly put our faith in Him and repent of our sins (feel sorrow, regret and turn from sin). We must realize we are all sinners heading to hell, and know what Christ did for us. He gave us the greatest gift and suffered horribly for that FREE gift.
The earth has had awful tragedies long before Adam
The Heavens and the Earth was created in the same week as The first man (Adam). It sounds like you don't believe in the Bible if you think the Earth way older than humans and it was already disastrous before man cam on Earth.
Not every question needs an answer that satisfies the feelings of people
Exactly. And that's why the only conclusion is that God is a cosmic horror.
Oh yeah of course everything bad is due to sin /S that’s why earthquakes happen at the same fault lines typically. People beloved in Greek Gods at some point too.
Well duh because the God made the nature to correspond that way… earthquakes happening normally at fault lines is cool, and the pagan Greek gods are cool to learn about but fall apart pretty easily 🪵🪵🪵
This individual said absolutely nothing to validate an answer. Why does God allow so much injustice and catastrophic disasters? I see so much evil everywhere, daily, yet it keeps going on and on. I see so many rich evil people, while the ones that deserve it are poor and miserable. I pray for my situation to get better, hoping to get an answer from God, and what do I hear in return, nothing.
But if I go on RUclips and ask the same question, I get lots of peoples opinions, yet I go back to square one, which means, nothing is materializing.
you're absolutely right and no one would be able to answer all the questions you have. I don’t think anyone has all the answers but what i do know is God exists and he is Good. it doesn’t matter how many explanations you get, there will still be a thousand reasons to doubt (thats where faith comes in, i believe). I'm no preacher but im just saying what i know to be true.
@@danielolaniyi9887 Why do you think God is good, if everything he does involves some kind of suffering, pain, torture, agony and madness?
Because he doesn't exist. Took two seconds to answer that
So you think we are nothing but wet robots running on brain chemicals? Each to their own IG
So what's the point of existing then?
