Why God Alone Should be Praised
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou has not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil. I the LORD do all these things. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

I should have called this, "Why there is no other God like the LORD."
Have you ever noticed that no other God claims any part with evil? In this passage, the evil is speaking particularly of calamities and catastrophes... but what part does Buddha claim with those? He offers comfort perhaps, but he treats these kinds of things as if they are some kind of opposing power or force that he has no control over.
Only the Triune God, the God of the Bible, claims to both make and control these sorts of things.
Truly there is no God like Him.
Very, good, thought provoking.
I am happy to see you blog more.
