horrific tragedy - "free-agency"
walt123:
Hello to all.
IT is a heartbreaking,to see such evil,especially when it involves children.
this one scripture come to mind.
Isaiah 57 (NIV)
1 The righteous perish,
and no one takes it to heart;
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
2 Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.
Isaiah 57
New Living Translation (NLT)
1 Good people pass away;
the godly often die before their time.
But no one seems to care or wonder why.
No one seems to understand
that God is protecting them from the evil to come.
2 For those who follow godly paths
will rest in peace when they .die
It may be ,they where more righteous, then the surrounding area they lived.
Just my thoughts, to comfort others.
Walt.

Our God is a strange, strange God.
He doesn't look at death the way we do. Jesus called death, "sleeping", and they laughed Him to scorn.
It's as simple for God to bring the dead back to life as it is for us to rouse someone from sleep.
I remember Ray saying somewhere that one reason Jesus suffered and died the way He did was that no one could ever accuse God of not understanding pain, suffering, or losing a loved one.
The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. You cannot have one without the other.
He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces. Isa 25:8

I also feel the shock and the sadness from this tragedy, but I do not feel mad at God. I feel blessed to have been given the faith to believe in our Creator's master plan of salvation for all of mankind, and therefore, I can look beyond the here and now.
Even in times of pain and suffering, I truly believe that our Heavenly Father, through our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus, is going to do what He has promised that He will do. We shall become "Children of God." Those innocent little babies that were murdered, will be resurrected and they will learn righteousness, and they too shall become "Children of God." Death in this world is not the end of the story. God will make all things new.
It takes a lot of faith to trust and believe these spiritual truths, but it is the only way we will overcome this world.

You guys do realise this kind of evil stuff happens every day in the world, we just don't get to hear about it all in the media.
What i find even more disturbing is the neurotic thirst for blame placed on those poor Australian DJ's who never meant to kill anyone with a frikin phone call. You had all sorts of sanctimonious ******** posting vile accusations online. That made me quite very sick.
