Natural Disasters...God or Satan
This post is for comments, I want to get a healthy discussion going here. Why do natural disasters happen? This topic has always been an interest of mine and I'm just wondering what others think. Is God punishing us for something we've done wrong? Is Satan doing something to turn people from God? Is God trying to show he's still in control? WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!

God has a purpose for everything that happens to bring glory to his name. he will never put us in a situation that makes himself look bad.
YES!! People still read this thing!
Keith I agree with your view, I had read about this in all instances in the Bible when I was truly struggling with the concept. It seems so obvious to me that God would do these things to make us see his glory. When 9/11 struck they had this same debate. What is your view on that since it was man and not natural?
Anonymous, why are you anunymous on this particular post? Your opinion can't offend anyone. Anyways I'm a little confused about your comment. You say God wants to bring glory to his name, but will not do anything to make himself look bad, are you saying ruin his rep. or make himself look mean? God is just and cannot look mean for anything he does to us because he is perfect and we are evil. Please answer the post as to why natural disasters happen.
I will say that 9/11 was carried out through human agents but remember that "not even a sparrow falls to the ground apart from the will of God." And remember that men put Christ on the cross (physically) but that was the plan of God. Job is a good example as well. It was men who raided and slaughtered at one point, but who allowed it?
I agree with Keith. The reaction to these disasters should not be, why? but rather, the Lord gives and takes away, let us proclaim His glory to the nations because "life is a vapor."
