‘But that God can protect us from pestilence, doesn’t mean we don’t need to take precautions.’
if God wished to protect us from pestilence, maybe not creating pestilence in the first place might work better...
Jury is still out on whether we created pestilence in this case or whether God did.
Assuming God did, then maybe not braking His one commandment in the garden would have worked better. I mean we had one rule, just one.
