A Loving God

Of course he does.  God never promised his followers that they wouldn't suffer.

I'm Christian now. Now I know that an all-powerful and all-knowing God had all the power to save that good person that he knew was being beaten and raped from being beaten and raped and he chose not to save them just for funsies... I am now a Christian.

Thank you Lek. You make perfect sense.

Alasdair Ham,

you are missing something. All are sinners. That means the person who was beaten and raped was gently rebuked by the loving God.

3 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)

A seemingly good person beaten and raped... You probably think it is unfair, but there is a possibility that
she fully deserved it!
(It could be he, but let's assume it was meted to a girl, for the simplicity sake).

She probably missed church some Sunday.
Does she tithe? How much? Does she give to her church 10% or only 9%? of her income?
Does she give it gladly or thinks that she could spend that money on text-books instead?
If there was a period in her life when she didn't tithe enough, did she ask for forgiveness and make up for it?

Does she sing with genuine enthusiasm during the church service? Or only pretends?
Does she ALWAYS pay full attention to the sermons? 

Does she ALWAYS go to the church or her parents have to make her go there?
Maybe she argues with her parents (a lazy bitch would rather stay at home instead of getting scriptural instruction?! ). You have to RESPECT your parents.
and HONOR them.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Exodus 20:12.

You may think that what happened was unfair. But
maybe she flirted with some boy or young man on the way to the church. When she had to think about Jesus!

Was she thinking about some boy from her college when she had to think about temptations of Jesus in the desert or his triumphant entry in Jerusalem on the ass?

How well-versed is she in the Bible?
How often does she read it?
Does she know by heart all ten Commandments?

Did she start that day when she was raped with a prayer? Was it perfunctory or honest?

So, it is quite probable she brought on herself the Divine Punishment.
