Evil calamity etc.

Where there is less God and His influence iniquity abounds just as in Noah s day [Genesis 6 5-6 God wasn t pleased]. God s influence His way His laws and rules His love and compassion are evident when people choose to acknowledge Him and be accountable to him by obeying Him. Your choice good or evil Obey Him or obey your sinful nature I see more and more obeying their sinful nature choosing to believe they are not accountable to Him. Who is deceived here Do you see any similarities between Noah s day and now Just watch the daily news occasionally. What happens when someone chooses to forsake God When a person or group of people choose to deny Him and His way that is when He is absent. When you don t want a certain person around what do you do to them You forsake them turn your back on them show them disrespect criticize them gossip about them tell lies about them create distrust of them forget them and avoid them among other things. And what do they usually do Depart The exact same thing God does in your life when you treat Him the same. No need to act surprised. www.preparingforeternity.com sciencefaith.htm Question Many ask why is there so much evil [calamity adversity] in the world [Read the last nine words in 2 Chronicles 15 2 and these 3 verses Jeremiah 6 17-19. Go figure.] [Many choose to deny and forsake God and that choice results in more evil in their lives. Thus more evil in the world] Answer Less of God s influence equals more evil calamity and adversity. Nothing new under the sun. When people choose to forsake Him that opens the door for evil to move in. What do you expect [Jeremiah 17 5 7]. I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn t than live my life as if there isn t and die to find out there is. Isaiah 45 7 the word evil is calamity [adversity] in the manuscripts. When a person chooses evil [sin] they bring calamity adversity on themselves. Be careful what you ask for You will get it adversity n. An event or series of events which oppose success or desire misfortune calamity affliction distress state of unhappiness.Can inanimate objects be evil The objects themselves are not evil but people can use those objects to commit evil deeds. What is present in every evil deed A human being which feels no accountability to God whether temporary or permanent Think about it. Most know people and their deeds can be evil.

Disobeying God leads you onto a broad path along which is found pain sorrow suffering and eternal loss inevitably. Choosing to obey God opens onto a narrow pathway which leads steadily upward to great reward. I urge you to make the right choice.
