Not enough faith? Too much sin?

[RandyWayne]

I'm sorry. Other then a few very specific examples in the Old Testament, I don't see where God intentionally caused anything bad happen to anyone...... Even in the OT, more often than not, He allowed such stuff to happen. (See the book of JOB.)

I see this idea of curses, such as sickness and the death of a loved one, being caused by a lack of faith as being nothing but dumnation and of no redeeming value. The logical extension of such thought is that everyone who DOES suffer from such misfortune must have SINnnnnnn in their lives somewhere. OooohhhhoooooHHHHoooooo!
