How is this in "God's hands" when his "children" got murdered while worshipping him?

John 14:6
The same way it was in God's Hands when Jesus was being crucified, Stephen was getting beat to death, and Christians were getting fed to the lions and wild animals in Rome. Are you under the assumption that death is to be feared or removed from being a possibility because we follow the Most High? There are times when GOD requires someone to physically die for His sake as shown in scripture and as in shown to this very day all around the world. It's not like the people are going to hell afterwards :comeon: They do have eternal life.

I'm nothing close to a Cac and was 'raised in the church'...but the older I get the more I feel like the ones you quoted.

What's your explanation for little kids getting shot and whole families getting knocked off? Kids getting hit and having to live being paralyzed or even just kids being born paralyzed? What the hell type of "test" would it be for someone to have to live with a disability all their life? What high power is gonna do that?
I really don't know. I see it like a child pissed at their parents for not eating candy for breakfast lunch and dinner even though they don't see their wrong. Sometimes needa have faith that things will work out in the end. Plus what do you lose by believing.

:mindblown:

I've been seeing the usual cliché things people say during a tragedy,

"My thoughts and prayers..."
"God will see them through"
"It's in God's hands"
Etc..

And I am genuinely confused. I get how people can do this during a natural disaster or whatever, but these people near San Antonio were in a CHURCH!
They were praising the same God that will see them or their family through and then got murdered and immediately people were praying for them. THEY WERE PRAYING and still got it. How does that make any sense??

Man has the choice of Free Will the fact that this dude made a choice to go inside there and kill all those people is some sort of demonic possession. The bible had dudes killing there own brother hell man even killed Gods own son and he was just trying to show people how to better there lives. Earth is the Wild Wild West when it comes to souls. Especially when it is in control of the devils minions.

"We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one."

1 Cor. 4:4 said:
"Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God."

Ephesians 2:1-3 said:
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others."

God created us, but He's not the one running the world currently. :francis:

People should just let religion go. At this point, it's just a copping mechanism that hasn't done anything. I'm at the point where G-d and religion are two totally different things.

Well, if there is a heaven, why is death such a bad thing?

I'm not a Christian but if I fully believed in it, I wouldn't be phased by death.

you're not meant to be phased by death lol, death is the only thing guaranteed

thats how people live life with no fear cause death is expected at the end of the day

death only seems bad and fukked up when its a crazy gunman running around putting bullets in little kids heads, why? violence

one of the 10 commandments is "thou shalt not kill" = abstain from hurting and killing both human and animals


when its an old man or woman on their death bed at the age of 129 then its peaceful

another thing , all religions plus spirituality tell you straight up life isn't perfect and its not ment to be , but heres some game that can help your life be a little bit better through these scripts and stories and what ever else people want to use to get them through the days.

im not a bible guy but the first thing in the bible is adam and eve fuking up, that should tell you something.
