I know a lot of racist people that God has punished during the pandemic. Some suffer extreme physical pain and others get life threatening health conditions. I also know at least one that was fired from their job. I’m lucky God protects me because I make mistakes but I try to change and improve.
From evil spirits, absolutely, yes of course. Always, though, I do think we Willa allow people that aren’t good for us in our lives sometimes. The reason, I think you make the correct inference

Yes, that is one of the things God does for us. We need to be reminded of this from time to time, so thanks for asking that.

No. I believe God is a security blanket. I think that the Bible portrays him as self-righteous hypocritical and a narcissist..
He is self righteous because he demands that people bow down to him,
He's hypocritical because he used magic black magic mind you to create Adam and Eve yet tells people that if we used magic were devil worshipers and we'll go to hell..
And he's a narcissist because again he demands that people bow down to him..
Let me ask you something when you're short on money and can't pay the last $20 of your rent or you can't buy enough groceries or medicine or even you're out in public you see somebody crazy and you get down on your knees and you pray "God please help me".. is that all you do? do you just stay there and keep praying? Or do you get up and go to work so that you can make the money or do you go out and sell something of yours so that you can get that extra few dollars in cash?
And when something bad happens to you if a prayer isn't answered do you ever question him on why? Does he answer you? Why is it that when something good happens it's because of God and he gets all the credit but when you ask God to help you and he doesn't help you then bad things happen and it's the devil's fault? How come you're God demands that you take accountability for your actions and your inactions, yet he doesn't do the same thing?
Many of people were here before him and many of people have been here after him how come he's the only one who gets to claim that he's dying for all of humanity and nobody else is allowed to? Isn't that what cult leaders saying do?
I'm not an atheist I'm not a devil worshiper I don't practice voodoo or witchcraft or anything of the sorts.. I absolutely believe in the spirit of Earth and I absolutely believe that we got here somehow. But I don't believe that there is one person who deserves all of the credit for the good things while having a scapegoat who takes all the blame for all of the bad things.I believe God works in our hearts if we listen but doesn't interfere in the physical world. If we get sick through disease, posion or genetic disorders that's either chance or as a result of human action. If a drunk driver hits you its not God punishing you, its a reckless driver who got intoxicated and made a bad choice.
Certainly a lot of racist people suffered in the pandemic, got sick, lost their jobs maybe died but that's not the punishment of God. There's probably more good people who suffered during the pandemic than racist people.
The belief that people born disabled were being punished by God used to be prevalent in Christianity.
God neither protects nor abandons his followers and the wicked are not punished by God in this world. In this world often the wicked punish themselves by their actions and feel real world consequences. In Nigeria right now where Christians are being attacked, persecuted and murdered is God turning a blind eye to their plight or is the actions of wicked men with hate in their heart that is responsible for the evil they suffer?
It's humanity that perpatrates most evils in this world and the righteous Christian must protect themselves, their families and others from them. Plagues, wars and natural disasters are nothing new so we must be peppered for such adversity. I know so many people who don't own a single gun or prep for whatever natural disaster or nationwide crisis comes their way just relying on the government. That's blizzards, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornados, wildfire, drought, heatwaves, floods, earthquakes, solar flares, solar flare, civil unrest, terrorism, pandemic, posion gas, food shortage, rolling blackouts, economic collapse, inflation, gas shortage etc any myriad of possible disasters thar often depending on where you live should be prepped for.
I lost my job during the pandemic but was able to survive quite comfortably why? Because I had prepared. I owned my own home, I had savings, I had prepped food stores, I hunted, I fished, I grew my own vegetables,, I have two generators, I had solar panels on the roof and a heap of battery storage devices so I wasn't relying on the energy companies. I had guns so was able to defend my family when the time came. We ate well during the pandemic when some of out neighbours were losing their jobs& homes.
The rain falls on the just and unjust alike.

I don't think it's god punishing them, after all a lot of good people caught the virus and had complications too.
BUT the reason your seeing so many racists catch it is because rightwingers tend to be anti vaxxers or just plain deny the virus existsGod is testing us. If he wishes, he will protect, if he wishes, he will not. But there is something good in the bad. Thousands of people died because of Corona, but the survivors learned from it and paid more attention to cleanliness. This is a sign that God is testing us.
Yeah, I do. He doesn't make everyone's lives great all the time but he knows what he's doing, he cares for us all the best he can. I sometimes wonder about it, of what he thinks when he sees so much suffering in the world.
God is a father to me. And I really do think he influenced me to stay away from evil a lot more frequent. I’m sinful and sorry a lot though. But I love him and he loves me. I’m only 14 and considering taking Holy Orders!
GOD guards his people because I know how he has provided and protected us from the first day in the year 2022 till this time even if I know that many people have died ( eg. my course mate that died last week Friday) but he has been so faithful to us by keeping us alive to see this brand new day.
Thank you very much.
Always remember that there is a GOD that sees in the darkest place.
Not really. I will say many things for me have happened that seemed incredibly lucky but to look upon all the tragedies that have befallen others I believe free will trumps that. Who knows though
So here’s a question for you that I want you to take a minute and think about instead of answering right away: where does God’s provision for humans to act out their free will intersect with his claim to punish the wicked?
Yes I do. I feel that God is looking after me, even though he makes me struggle through things.
I know God can bless His people in different ways, We just need to remember to continue to seek Him through prayer
It's not God who is punishing you. As with Job, he is just allowing Satan to test you which makes you stronger.
God is the almighty he guards his children all through the day..
God allowed the Romans to feed his followers to the lions. He will protect your immortal soul but he couldn't care less what happens to your body. He had his own son crucified.
No, not at all. I think God has given us the tools to do good, but it's up to us. He's given us all that we need and has let us be the captain of the ship.
I hope you're trolling with this delusional comment
Pppppfffffttttt... no. Take one look out the window.
Of course he does.
I do believe that
Yes, but 90% of time we put ourselves into trouble.
