Does God Make Bad Things Happen So He Can Rescue Us?

Christians live in a fantasy world of their own imagination.

 

Recorded in chapter 9 John tells the story of a blind man. The disciples asked Jesus “who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind?” If John is correct the disciples thought we can sin before we are born. Can we? Were the disciples that naïve? Was that a common belief at the time?

John then tells us that Jesus said “this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” Did God make this man be born blind so he could give him sight or did Satan make this man be born blind providing Jesus the opportunity to be praised for giving the man sight?

 

Does God make bad things happen to us so he can be praised for helping us? When people make bad things happen to others so they can be given credit for coming to the rescue don’t we call that Munchausen’s by proxy?
