He is a fierce protector of men's agency, and there has been a war in-Heaven that was fought over it ... It is the 'consequences' of that agency, that falls on all mankind. Agency is necessary for man to follow the path set out by God, which if followed, brings that man back to His presence... never-the-less, faithfull people can change things, concerning someone else's agency to bring hurt ... Enoch, had the power to raise mountain and hills against his enemies, wasn't it Elijah who raised his arm a whole day to stop the sun from going down so that Israel's enemies may be discomfited? Anyway, blaming God isn't justified, first we would do that in ignorance, secondly, we agreed to agency before this Earth (Idumea) was created. Let's be extremely careful where blame lies ... and have pity for those shooters ... lol SciProAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15734651391675657671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21392130.post-80000969379178523872012-12-15T14:44:15.295-05:002012-12-15T14:44:15.295-05:00Jeff: I'll try this again.

You will remember that Israel, after their sojourn in the Desert regions, brought the 'whole' tribe to the land filled with Canaanites and others, where He commanded the land to be cleansed by war. The land of Israel was to be cleansed of all inhabitants, even animals. That included babies and children. Knowing the Nature of God, the innocents cleansed would have received a place in the Celestial Kingdom and presently dwell in His presence. The killed students and teachers of Newton Conneticut, will receive the same consideration. Making death not the "end all", simply a change life's journey. It is now that we should think of the shooters who brought on this tragedy! Think how they will feel appearing before a just and offended God. Their situation now is horrific, when contemplating the "consequences" of their actions. And imagine even the thought of having to face his victims and his own loving mother, will cause anguish of such magnitude that fire would feel better. I really feel sorry for that boy ... let's think on that for a minute ... just saying SciPro ..

That meant people animals, everything. Babies and young one were included. If you believe in the nature of God, then you would know that he took those innocents, (babies and children below the age of accountability) to himself, and presently reside in the Celestial Kingdom, so to those young ones in Newton Conneticut. Let's take comfort in that fact and know that those children and adults cut short in their life, will recieve God's mercies. It is the Shooter that should draw our sympathies, imagine his anguish that is now his to bear. Eternity is God's judgement, for He is eternal, who will bring the proper consequence onto this young troubled teenager. That judgement will not be pleasant to bear, and will be uniquely his. Worse yet, imagine trying to face a loving murdered mother! ... He is in a bad way ...

Thankfully the good outweighs the bad. If I were you, I'd focus on the idea that these kids and their families will find peace through your religion, not question why God would let it occur.njlibertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556390403615628496noreply@blogger.com
