Theodicy (S): Pandemic as punishment for Sin. Or not!
Text of excerpt, if available
Again, by reading from Luke chapter 13, verses one to five, there were present at that season. Some that told him of the Galileans whose blood pilot had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said into them, suppose you that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans because they suffered such things. I tell you may, but except you repent, you shall all likewise perish or those 18 upon whom the tower in silo and fell and slew them. Thank you that they were sinners. If all men that dwelt in Jerusalem, I tell you nay, but except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. First of all, the basic premise that it always surfaces when any great tragedy occurs, did God send this as a judgment? I've heard it addressed to earthquakes, to hurricanes, all sorts of tragedies. Let me first address a simple elephant in the room.
