Further to my thread on the Christian God and coronavirus some Christians informed me that sin was the cause of the coronavirus.
Sin. an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.
Virus. an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
So how does a sin create a virus, what is the process?
I believe it is because the way that man has conducted himself on earth as an unworthy and inept steward, the potential for many hazardous situations are inevitable: global warming, disease, pollution, soil and water contamination, factory and car fumes, toxic waste, lack of hygiene regulations, nuclear energy, etc...
Thus, the fact that humans are not more sick, or haven't entirely annihilated themselves at this point, is more the enigma.
Point is, sin has compelled God to not intervene in circumventing the destructive process that man had already started. There is always the potential for famine, disease, pestilence, drought and death all around us, due solely to man's incompetent superintendence of the planet. God, is just exploiting a
precondition in order to make His divine point - He permits the required chain of events to occur that will unleash a 'plague' upon man. Similarly, when under His auspices, he will allow a different sequence to occur that may either expose a threat before it inflicts damage, or allow a different precondition to bless us.
God is in control of all events, He unfathomably intertwines all people's lives in order to establish His will. Be careful, He makes it look as though it's a natural, and scientifically explained, progression and development.
I do believe that COVID is a warning - man's destruction is well overdue, and God, actually by his beneficence and not wrath, is patiently and graciously offering warning signs to all who have not acknowledged His majesty, sovereignty and supremacy.
