Acts 5:38, 39 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition) 38 So under the present circumstances, I say to you, do not meddle with these men, but let them alone. For if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them.+ Otherwise, you may even be found fighters against God himself.”+
To me, this is the best explanation for the wrongly concept of ACT OF GOD.

against the sphere. The audience were
05:02
about to see something amazing
05:04
[Music]
05:11
inside the glass sphere a strange
05:14
ethereal light began to form dancing
05:18
around his hand a light no one had ever
05:21
seen before. Oh, that’s fantastic!
05:27
You see a beautiful blue glows is marking
05:30
out the shape of my hands but then going
05:32
like round the board, There’s something
05:35
alive in there.
05:40
it’s difficult to really understand why
05:43
this dancing blue light meant so much
05:47
but we have to bear in mind that at the
05:49
time, natural phenomena like this was
05:52
seen to be the work of the Almighty. Dr Patricia Fara, University of Cambridge: This
05:56
was still a period when even in Isaac
05:58
Newton’s theory, God was constantly
06:01
intervening in the conduct of the world
06:04
and so it made sense for a lot of people
06:06
to interpret natural phenomena as acts
06:11
of God. So when a mere mortal meddled
06:14
with God’s work
06:16
it was almost beyond rational
06:18
comprehension.
People calls natural disasters –those ones originated by geophysical events as earthquakes, volcano activity, storms, hurricanes, floods, droughts, etc., as Acts of God just only because they can’t understand the phenomenon itself.
The worse comes with people not knowing some of these events happening nowadays are truly man-made.
