Is God responsible for Natural Disasters?

Natural disasters are made by nature, not by God.

I don't believe that God is responsable for all the natural desasters that happen around the world. I think that we are partly reponsable when we deside to live in areas that are below sea level or try to control rivers with dams. I also believe that Satan is much more responsable. If you read the book of Job 1:16 in the bible you'll see that he controlled fire from Heaven, a mighty wind swept the house that Job's sons and daughter were in away. Yes God gave Satan permission to do these things to prove how much Job loved God.

Natural disasters are just that "natural"...Everything in exsistance has to have balance which means a positive and a negative..Weather, how the earth behaves etc CAN'T be positive all the time...the negative NEEDS to happen which means tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, landslides and the list goes on..Its a necessity.

I like the primiss of your question, Is God responcable for natural desasters. Well I do not beleive he desides to whip one up, but storms and other desasters are a result in phisical mass moveing and atmosphiric conditions. And if God is the architect of this design of our phisical universe then yes the responcebilities are his. If I designed a building and it collapses then I would be held responceable, even though I di nothing like take a bulldozer and knock it over myself. Why does he let it happen? why not? He made laws in the universe, why would he go and change them ,the Universe is very violent by nature. If phisical law says if the waters heat up, it will couse a up draft spiral of warm air and then the air cools and drops to the center of a vortec cousing an esculating spiral untill no more fule for the updraft can be found. We call it a hurican, and phisical law says it will be affected by low presure systems. Why would God change these laws? He lets it happen becouse he is just. Is it just for him to breake his own laws, and say we will die if we break a law?

Hi academic2, In my opinion God is responsible for natural disasters and also disasters made by humans. But for what?. To provide a message of Good. Understanding the good message is what is called capability.You know there are both good and bad. Why some people are doing only bad things.We do not know. When a child is born anywhere in the world, at that time it does not no good and bad. But when it grow up-- it learns--from whom, from many and let us call this as society.The society should learn good and bad---from where--from nature. Good Luck.

We are responsible for all these natural disasters.The Lord has made the law, and human being are supposed to follow. But we are so proud,we are starting wars, killing animals,doing so many nonsenses.So we are inviting disasters ourselves. Who should we blame for? If we are the servants of the Lord, but we don't serve, then we get some punishment is understandable. The Lord is far beyond these things, His external energy is doing everything. When do not develope our relationship with the Lord, then we can not excape the cruel law of Nature(energy of the Lord).

Hello dear academic friend. Let me take an example to explain the question you have raised. Well, you know, some kids would do something that is against the morality of the standard of the society. Could we say that this is always the responsibility of the parents', especially when they reach 18, old enough to have the sense of judging the right from the wrong? No, absolutely not though there are part of the reasons, which are on the parents' side. So...Anyway thanks for your discussion very much that makes me use my mind to think about it. Thanks again.
