Disasters, God & the Devil

Remember, earthquakes are in the Bible as something that God brings (Isaiah 29:6). Hail (Exodus 9:23), floods (Genesis 6:17), pestilence (Exodus 9:15), disease (2 Chronicles 21:15), and famine (2 Kings 8:1) are in the Bible as something that God brings.

Now, if we remove God out of the situation, they’ll call you the Devil, and you say (the) Devil is in the Bible as something that God brings. He created the Devil as the subtle and most shrewd beast of the field (Genesis 3:1). Thus, the Devil was smarter than Adam and Eve. If God created humans in the image and after the likeness of God. And we think, feel, smell, and talk like God. Then, he created the Devil and made him the shrewdest, subtlest beast of the field? He was (even) able to beguile Adam and Eve. That only leaves us under the impression that the Devil is a shrewder creature than God. The Devil was able to beguile Adam and Eve who thinks like God. Se he must be able to beguile God also.
