Is God responsible for natural disasters?

GOD is love,” states the Bible. (1 John 4:8) He is also just and merciful. “The Rock, perfect is his activity, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness, with whom there is no injustice; righteous and upright is he.”—Deuteronomy 32:4.

    Jesus said that the "god of this world is coming, and he has no hold on me (Jesus)"

    The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.

    Eccl. 9:11 says "I see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor do the mighty ones have the battle, not do the wise also have the food, not do the understanding ones also have the riches, not do even those having knowledge have the favor, because time and unforseen occurance befall them all." Life isn't fair.

    No, God is not responsible for natural disasters.

    Yes, but only to make way, for the next 49 generations, also known as 49 little seasons. Each of the 7 seals also known as an age were "created" by God and each given 49 generations, which to allow spirits to be joined with flesh to spend time on earth, however with the passing of each seal the lenght of a generation was diminished by a factor of 10, until the 5th seal which was reduced by a factor of 100.

    Within each seal there are 7 Season also known as 7 days and the first 6 Seasons of a seal is for labor on the earth, and the 7th Season or 7 Day is for rest. Rest is given to the spirits who have toiled on the earth in flesh bodies, and REST can only be given to a spirit who's flesh body has died or been killed and their spirit has been released to return home to heaven, this is why God the Father allows His Sons to "make" natural disasters, only two spirits that are housed in flesh bodies are allowed to enter into the next seal, everyone else has to return home to heaven.

    God the Father definition of TIME is;

    A TIME (the first 4 seals)

    TIMES (5th and 6th seals)

    HALF-A-TIME (the 7th seal)

    Killing one another, Hating one another, judging one another, lusting for things that are not ours, seeking wealth, glory and honor are things that the devil influences us to do.

    God is responsible for creation. Natural disasters are a consequence of our freedom. If God prevented natural disasters then where would you stop? Gravity? (So people wouldn't fall off cliffs.) A predetermined life ... with no chance of accidents or disease or even a common cold would not be a free life. It has nothing to do with devil worship btw.

    The red sea was parted/ fire and brimstone fell on sodom and gamorahh/ A few times the earth opened up and swallowed people , like when they made the golden calf at Mnt Sinai and when Korah rebelled. Not every thing that happens on the earth is a punishment would be my guess

    God can send a natural disaster or plague on a wicked nation or People he is not pleased with who have disobeyed him, but before he does anything he sends a warning.

    God created the earth and with it's lands and waters. It changes and moves constantly. So in a way He is responsible for it.

    This question refers to the "Problem of Pain". Why do people suffer and die when God is love?

    Everyone is going to suffer. Everyone is going to die. No one will escape. Good people will often experience long painful deaths. Why? What is its purpose?

    We know our example is Jesus Christ. He was a pretty nice guy. However, I wouldn't want to suffer and die like he did. Still, we are told that his suffering and death had tremendous meaning and purpose. We can also expect all of our suffering has meaning and purpose too. We might not understand it all. Everything matters. Everything in life matters.

    Man's ignorance of nature created the gods. Anyone who looks to the sky for answers is a pagan. I suggest you read up on geology.

    No, the ground was cursed after the fall. He allows disasters but when Jesus comes back and we go to heaven, that is perfect
