Why God Is Not Involved In Our Lives: A rhetorical question. Part 4

Revelation 4:11

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

 

 

All for his pleasure?

Why God Is Not Involved In Our Lives: A rhetorical question. Part 3

Genesis 9:15

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

 

What about natural disasters? Is it ok to kill us intermittently just not ALL flesh at one time? Is it not reasonable to even save us from our own misgivings if you argue building in low-lying areas and faulty levies?

Why God Is Not Involved In Our Lives: A rhetorical question. Part 2

Genesis 6:7

And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.


It appears that we got off to a wonderful creator to created relationship. Acknowledge my existence as your creator or I shall destroy you! Is this the beginning of the God fearing nation?

Why God Is Not Involved In Our Lives: A rhetorical question. Part 1

Some religions assume that God, who they say is the greatest possible being that can be imagined, with intent to do so, created all things. If this premise is true would that make him all powerful and furthermore responsible for those creations? If creationist are correct their own theory will lead to why God is not involved in our lives or at least take us to the creationist’s inflicted assumption that a God is supposed to be involved in the lives of what it created.

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
