John Piper - Why Did The Bridge Collapse?

[rleeermy]

If he is going to spout this wicked nonsense then he should be shouting and hollering on a street corner with a cardboard sign, selling pencils from a cup! He is saying that it's my sin that causes cancer to grow in the bones of children. What an evil and capricious deity he worships.

I can understand a one for one, that is, I sin and then I suffer. I can accept that. But why should any sin I commit cause a baby to starve to death in Africa? Why does your God punish those who don't even have a chance of knowing your Jesus? What kind of malevolent monster is your God?

1. As a non-believer, will I see your God? 2. If He exists and has answers, why doesn't He share them? 3. Since you pass the buck to your God, you must not have answers to my questions, either, right?

Before Jesus, Satan was one of God's helpers (Read Job). It was only after the Hebrews adopted the Persian idea of duality and could not explain all the pain in the world that Satan became the fall guy. You need to read your bible.
