Is God Responsible for the Good and the Bad?

Shaila  D Touchton
When you remove God you invite everything that is wicked to come in and destroy. Because some people are destroyed from lack of knowledge and there is a continuous attempt to take God out of everything we do. Here is what the bible says for them. Hosea 4:5 you stumble day and night and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother- my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

Amos 2:4 this is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because they have rejected the law of the LORD and have not kept his decrees, because they have been led astray by false gods, the gods their ancestors followed, I will send fire upon Judah that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem.

""In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:6).A Nation that refuses to teach its children right from wrong, good from evil will become a corrupt nation, where sin prevails, evil abounds, and children do as they please according to their own free will. When we remove God's standards, then man is free to substitute his own standards of morality. God's word in Judges 21:25 says, "In those days every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

"We are mocking God's Word, we are offending him more than ever, we are allowing women to kill their babies, we are allowing a minority to re-define marriage and family in order for them to please their selfish and abnormal desires, we are allowing people to take drugs legally, we are telling children that masturbation, pornography, prostitution, lesbianism, homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexualism and other deviant practices are fine and even good and healthy.

We are clearly living in the last days, as the Bible says: "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-5. God is not responsible for bad things because mans sins and immoral lives have contributed for bad things and if anything is good its because of God.James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

    "For God so loved...He gave." God sent messengers, rising early, because He had compassion on His people. But they mocked the messengers and despised their words, to the point the wrath of God arose against His people until there was no remedy (A paraphrase of 2 Chronicles 36:15-16). Today, there's still a remedy. Soon, the Day of the Lord will come. Then there will be no remedy. Great article. God bless...

    It is a fallen world and in the Garden of Eden, mankind choose for themselves what to do and what not to do, and the world's reaped consequences ever since. Great point Shaila. Humans are responsible for their own poor choicees but God is good and if we come to Christ, we can overcome the world. Great work.

    Nothing to add to this. I pray that perhaps, some few even, might listen to the voice of the Spirit. Amen. You have written directly from scripture. Those who ignore these words do so at their own peril. Pray for them. Pray for us. Pray for our children.
