Why Would God Create Coronavirus?

.
In the very beginning, human life was immortal (Gen 1:26-27) plus; up till
the time of the Flood, man and beast lived in peaceful co-existence together
(Gen 2:19-20 and Gen 9:2) so the little critters-- e.g. viruses, bacteria,
fleas, mites, mosquitoes, and lice, et al --posed no dangers to public health
and safety back then.

Also in the very beginning, human life was the master of all other forms of
life (Gen 1:28) so that before any one of the little critters could proceed to
harm human life, it would've needed their intended victim's permission to do
so.

I really don't think it was ever God's intended purpose for human life to lose
either its mastery or its immortality, nor for the animal kingdom to turn
against Man in a full-out rebellion. For sure God saw all that coming, but I
seriously doubt that He's to blame for instigating any of it.

Then why imply, by thread title, that he is to blame?

either its mastery or its immortality,

A few things to consider. God told Adam to “be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and to rule.... Genesis 1:28 (YLT): And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every living thing that is creeping upon the earth.’
Was or is it Gods will that man reigns or God reigns? Matthew 6:33 (YLT): but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you. —Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule(reign) in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.


Adam multiplied the fruits of death and sin and it filled the earth and has broken it down and destroyed, where God has already said the fashion of it is passing away. Death has had its rule. Can be suggested God didn’t intend for it but is it contrary to “let there be light” and it was always to magnify God? He said He created the waster to destroy. That He subjected the creation to vanity, for the reason, of He who also subjected the same to Hope. Exodus 9:13-15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. [14] For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. [15] For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.

Job 14:19 (YLT): Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.

Job 19:8–10 (YLT): My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth. 9Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth the crown from my head. 10He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth like a tree my hope. (Is is bad for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil be removed so that the Tree of Life remains.)
Colossians 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

1 Peter 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Would God not destroy faith and hope in what is passing away that there might be instead an fullness of Faith and Hope in God? Would this not be mercy and deliverance from that which perishes? Consider Christ who is fruitful in the fruits of the Spirit and multiplies Life abundantly and subdues all things unto God and rules in “seek ye first the reign of God”.

 

[Enoch111]

Was or is it Gods will that man reigns or God reigns?

Had Adam not sinned, he would have had dominion over all creatures. And so would mankind. But now that has been transferred to Christ. So it is God and Christ who will reign on earth eternally. But the saints will also reign with Christ.

 

[Enoch111]

Who said God created the corona virus?

It has probably been genetically manipulated in order to become a bio-weapon. But all viruses were created by God. Viruses are parasites which need a living host in order to thrive. Otherwise they die out.

 

[Deborah_]

Why did God create viruses?

Why did He create bacteria? We know that there are (from our point of view) 'good' bacteria as well as 'bad' ones. Bacteria assist our digestion, maintain the health of our skin, and play many other important roles.

There are probably 'good' viruses as well; it's just that we only know about the bad ones. Genetic scientists have found a lot of viral DNA incorporated into the human genome, so it may well be performing some essential function there.

I believe that if it hadn't been for the Fall, mankind would have been able to control the 'rogue' viruses. As it is, we're struggling at the moment. But God will use this situation (as He always does) for ultimate good.

If he did and I am not convinced, it would be to give a kick up the bum of unbelievers to let them know he is in charge, not them. Whether it will sink in I don't know but they cannot say they were not warned.

 

[Truth OT]

human life's ....... mastery or its immortality

The words above paint the best picture for why faiths of all kinds came to exist. We are so very arrogant when it comes to discerning what (namely us) is truly valuable. If there are gods, they made us in their image or they made us to partake in a special divine purpose. We are either innately great or we are exalted by a god and made great.

Re: Why Would God Create Coronavirus?

According to Gen 2:1-2, God completed the current cosmos with all of its
forms of life, matter, and energy in six days and then took a break on the
seventh day.

All the other days of creation were bounded by an evening and a morning;
but the seventh day wasn't bounded, it's open-ended; which tells me that
God has been on sabbatical ever since then and hasn't created anything new
for the current cosmos in all this time; so all the virus species, in one form
or another, have always been here.

● Ecc 1:10 . . Is there anything of which one can say: "Look! This is
something new". It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.

Anyway, we could ask the OP's question about lots of other things in nature
too like toad stools, poison ivy, lightening, rattlesnakes, scorpions,
avalanches, thorns, swamp water, quicksand, tornadoes, typhoons,
hurricanes, cactus needles, tsunamis, Carrington events, UV light, gamma
rays, rip tides, the vacuum of space, earthquakes, fire, lava, lead, cadmium,
and arsenic and hemlock.

Those things can be hazardous, yes, but they were all created to fit into the
natural scheme of things; and God pronounced them all just as much "very
good" as He pronounced everything else.

The problem isn't coronavirus nor any other virus for that matter. The real
problem is humanity's mortality. Once that's remedied, then all those
hazards will become curiosities instead of threats to public health and
safety.

God didn't create Coronavirus as it exists, rather it's effects are the result of the Fall.

In the very beginning, human life was immortal (Gen 1:26-27)

This is not what Paul teaches:

"The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven"

How can dust be immortal?

 

[achristian1985]

"God so loved the World...". BUT God has to respect man's free will. So how can God get man to consider His way? By letting man have his way and utterly fail. The last 3 1/2 years of this age will be incomparably deadly: ("For at that time there will be great tribulation,... And unless those days had been cut short, no flesh would be saved;" Mt. 24:21-22)(...that they might kill the third part of men. Rev. 9:15) What we are witnessing today is the total failure of human government. "The WHOLE world lies in the evil one". Believers should NOT allow themselves to become enmeshed in, deadened by, or affected by the details of this. "Don't get caught up trying to fix the plumbing on the Titanic".

How can dust be immortal?

Eternal life and immortality are not synonymous, viz: they are not two ways
to say the same thing. The two are juxtaposed in 2Tim 1:10; where the
terms are connected with a conjunction. They aren't connected with a verb,
so that you can't say eternal life is immortality; no, eternal life and
immortality are two distinctly different subjects.

Eternal life and immortality are not synonymous, viz: they are not two ways
to say the same thing.

The first is perpetual in all directions; viz: eternal life always was, it always
is, and it always shall be, i.e. there has never a time when eternal life didn't
exist, nor will there ever be a time when eternal life won't exist.

Immortality isn't quite that perpetual, nor is it quite that sturdy; plus, it
typically never stretches back into the infinite past like eternal life does.

Plus; eternal life is self-sustaining whereas immortality cannot survive on its
own; it needs something and/or somebody with the wherewithal to sustain
it, viz: God can get by on His own, but immortality cannot get by without
God.

Also; eternal life is non physical, while immortality is only physical; which is
why it's possible for people to have eternal life while at home in a mortal
body.

Christians won't regain the immortality that Adam lost until their
resurrections (Rom 8:23-25, 1Cor 15:51-53, and 1Thss 4:14-17). However;
it's possible for people to obtain eternal life now before they pass on.

Note the grammar in the passages below. The verb "has" is present tense
rather than future, indicating that believers have eternal life right now-- no
delay, and no waiting period.

● John 3:36 . . He who believes in the Son has eternal life

● John 6:47 . .Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.

● John 5:24 . . I assure you, those who heed my message, and trust in God
who sent me, have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins,
but they have already passed from Death into Life.

● 1John 5:13 . . I write these things to you who believe in the name of the
Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

The right-now possession of eternal life is very crucial because according to
God's testimony, as an expert witness in all matters pertaining to
Christianity; people lacking eternal life don't have God's son. In other words:
they are currently quite christless.

● 1John 5:11-12 . . This is what God has testified: He has given us eternal
life, and this life is in His son. So whoever has God's son has this life; and
whosoever does not have this life, does not have His son.

Why would God create this virus ?

He didn't.

Everything that God made was very good.
When sin entered into Eden via Adam and Eve taking in what The Serpent was selling- then and only then did 'thorns and thistles' grow, and all that they represent of the Fall.

Where does it say Adam had immortality?

 

[face2face]

Its off topic

Romans 2:6 He will reward each one according to his works: eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality.

Immortality is a state which enables eternal life, its a reward..."immortality" implies the permanence and irreversibility of the immortal state. It is hardly satisfactory to affirm that Adam in his dust state had “immortality,” which is a permanent state. It is impossible, in fact, to conceive of degrees of immortality, nor can it be a momentary or a temporary state.

The term "immortality" is to mean a nature which is incorruptible (or imperishable), which is speaking to the substance of nature.

When Paul speaks of Adam being made of dust, which is corruptible by its use, it is impossible for dust by its definition to be incorruptible. Our nature must change from dust to spiritual bodies, or as Paul states:

"For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. 15:54 Now when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will happen"...death is swallowed up...

The result of this putting on imperishable / immortality is eternal life. Hence one must seek for that change else eternal life is lost.

Therefore, Paul is consistent when he wrote:

He has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel! 2 Tim 2:10

Both the change of nature (putting on) and the eternal life (ever living life) has been brought to light in the Gospel.

The question should be, "Why did God send covid19 in such a way to literally change the world?"

The answer is Revelation 6:1-2
"Next I watched as the Lamb broke the first of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings say in a thundering voice, “Go!”
I looked, and there in front of me was a white horse; its rider had a bow and was given a crown; and he rode off as a conqueror to conquer."
