So it is not God that causes the plagues and curses but mans unwillingness to follow God.
Evil rules the world because we choose to allow it to reign over us.
But what did God say to Cain?
Gen 4:7
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee
shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
So him is sin. and man himself rules over it. It is within our means to overcome sin through Jesus if we so choose.
But as long as we choose a king as they did with Saul, then it is God that we reject over us.
It always comes back to us and our choices.
I don't know Hamas. I understand it is a terrorist group that came into being in 1987 or so.
And because they opposed the leader in Palestine, Israel had leniency with them, even conferences with them, because the enemy of my enemy is apparently allowed to get away with whatever.
And then the leader was removed and the people chose Hamas as their leader, and they turned their hatred towards Israel.
It's about land and resources and who gets what and who's is who's.
Greed on both sides created by countries who decided for them who would live where.
You want the culprit in all this I believe it is the US and Britain that drew the boundary lines between Israel and Palestine.
From that time on both sides been pushing at eachother for the land.
As far as the warring goes I've heard stories on both sides. Neither side is innocent.
But I live in the US. I never been outside the US. I get my news from the media which tells me what it thinks I should know and who's side I should be on.
So I choose neither side. I just watch and listen and try to learn.
Wether it be a baby on this side or a baby on that side. neither side should be killing anybody, specially children.
Both sides should be facing war crimes at this point. Both sides are creating atrocities for the civilians which have no say in the matter.
All I know is both sides ae fighting for their right to survival. And as long as the hatred is allowed to keep burning (which the governments and media are fanning those flames) , there will never be peace until they destroy eachother. And whoever else gets in the middle of it.
There is literally only one mediator that can solve this problem and it is God himself.
We can pray, and I do for peace. But they have to ask for it too. They have to want it too.
And I don't think the ones making big bucks off it, will allow it.
What Hamas did was barbaric and evil. What Israel is doing by bombing Gaza is no less barbaric and evil.
It literally is eye for eye and tooth for tooth and skin for skin.
God allows it, because men allow it.
I hear you..
