Do you not have any sense of compassion? Try putting yourself in their shoes. I mean imagine if you had a son and he got some severe disease and died in most excruciating pain. Are you telling me you would be happy because he is now with Jesus?
Or let's say you have a mother and some soldiers one day came into the house and brutally raped her and killed her (like YHWH usually ordered Jews in OT). Again are you telling me you would be happy because she is with Jesus and this life is insignificant?
You are applying my answer to one question to another.
My answer above was to the post that said God solved his problems by killing. In context, I took this to mean the age old objection to God's actions in a few instances in the OT.
I don't believe God causes disease--so your conclusion does not follow from what I believe.
You invented your last objection so I don't feel the need to address it.
Boy, when you can just pick and choose what you want to believe, there are no hard questions, are there/
