a. An act of God

c. The act of a free man
Since God is omniscient (that means all-knowing) and omnipotent (all-powerful), everything that happens must be His Will.
Since all things that happen are the Will of God, because He knows they will happen and either causes or allows them to happen, they are all Acts of God.
Whether an act of commission or an act of omission is the question . . . The answer? What's the difference? God's Will has been done, regardless!

a. An act of God
b. An act of the natural environment
c. The act of a free man
Everything is ultimately an act of God.
It may appear that a man or the environment started something but it is though Gods beautiful guidance we are where we are.
It may seem like the rain washed the dirt away from around a boulder and that a man pushed that boulder off a cliff but it is by Gods love that a car full of heathens was driving by and crushed by the falling boulder. Did not God make the rain? God make it possible for the man to exist and be at that spot, to leverage Gods boulder? As well as the heathens in the car, was it not obvious to God that they were never going to to repent and were going to Hell anyways?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

They are all tied together. But God is the one making it all happen. You're here because God wants you here--not your choice. You have been slid onto the chessboard of righteousness!
Can you tell the difference between a pathetic jap wannabe and a perverted godmocker?
Neither can I.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Hitoshi?

Hopefully he was swept out to sea in the recent tidal wave, eaten alive by fish, and sent to hell by Jesus.
Or he could be teaching school in Poland.
I wonder if he ever found Jesus.

For those of you who haven't gone up to heaven yet, I know you'll probably have heard it before but I want to know the answer:
If everything is down to God, surely he makes people bad; surely he makes atheists not believe; surely he makes people homosexual; surely if you damn homosexuals for being that way you are damning God for making them that way?

We aren't damning anyone. It's God that does the damning even though He creates some people specifically to damn them.
Romans 9:20-22Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

So what's your point?
Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
God created everything, without exception. That doesn't mean He loves everything.
People send themselves to hell. Jesus just laughs at them.
"He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision." Psalm 2:4
