|Bunghole| Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 If you are a person of faith I think that you can sum it up pretty nicely by just believing in the fact that there are things that are not possible for man, yet possible for God. People always ask that question that Scales asked ie, how could a loving God allow so much suffering? Who knows? How can anyone presume to know the mind of God? Maybe God is busy travelling the vast expanses of the Universe, creating other planets and other forms of life, and will address these issues upon His return? I am certain that God has a plan and is adhering to it, and that it pains God to allow for the suffering of innocents, but it must be necessary for the fulfillment of His plan. Again, we will never know i nthis life until or unless God starts appearing to all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khatmandude Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Lawman, your brother is in Heavan! My take on the suffering is that there will be a day of justice for EVERYONE! The suffering and the cause of the suffering will be addressed. The children who are killed are innocent, they will have their just reward from the Creator, who planned what happened to them in this life. Just as Bung said, I trust His plan for he is the best of planners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
