How far reaching are God's powers?

[MilesAbbott81]

Right. So it is all some big mystery untill people POSTHOC work their minds around in some weird @rsed ways of thinking so that the events make sense. (Genrally to them which they then try and convince other of).

So.

Child dies of cancer? Diety's mysterious ways.

OR,

Military Tyrant's genocide of people? Diety's mysterious ways.

 You'll note that the diety's mysterious ways must be different for both of the above events? That said 'Mysterious ways' have to keep being invented for all the new and diverse things that wreck life in general.

Earth shattering calamity wipes out life? Diety's mysterious ways.

OR

 Person's life adversly impacted by 'Collision'/'Fall trama'/'paper cut'.

Again, the mysterious ways just keep mulitplying all because the qualities attributed to the diety MUST (Some how) remain the same all the while new ariable things keep happening.

 

So... please, lets hear the posthoc rational for babies and children getting cancer.

Am sure it'll make sense. Look forwards to the reply on that one.

Not at work.

Not at work.

Yes, you atheists and agnostics always seem to bring this up as your ultimate argument for why God can't possibly exist, or why if He does then He is evil. Did you not read the article I linked to? Here it is again: https://www.thepathoftruth.com/teachings...f-evil.htm

Since I'm doubting you or others will actually take the time to read it, then I'll explain why babies and children suffer terribly.

They suffer terribly because of sin. Parents can bring terrible consequences upon their children, and as the Lord makes clear, He brings suffering upon the children to the 3rd and 4th generations, until the last pennies are paid for that sin.

Yes, it's tragic, and it's often a horrifying and terrifying thing to behold. It's also a reason why you should fear the Lord.

Some will say, well if God is merciful and good, then why allow such things to happen? We're not here to "eat, drink, and be merry." We're here to learn the difference between good and evil, and to learn to choose the good. That doesn't happen easily. We must suffer the consequences of our sins in order to be saved. That is simply how this process of salvation works. It's the cross; crucifixion. It's agony, but necessary agony.

I will add that often, the deaths of children are mercy. There are enormous numbers of people unfit to be parents, under whom a child is surely going to be raised to be truly wicked. The more wicked a child is, the greater its suffering through the cross is going to be. Have you ever tried to correct a spoiled child, for instance? It's a nightmare. I should know, having been one myself. I wish I'd been aborted, honestly, and raised in a household that enforced discipline. Salvation is easier for those fortunate enough to have grown up in such an environment.

No one likes to hear all of this, but it's the truth. You'll hate me and God for it, at the unfairness of it, but keep in mind that all is well that ends well. No one suffers forever; God saves all eventually, whether in this life or the next. But suffering is a necessary part of the plan...no way to get around it.

Those claiming that "accepting Christ" and that simply asking for forgiveness of sins is the way of salvation are deluded. The cross is the only way.

One last thing I will mention. If you think it's unfair for the innocent to suffer, then consider that Jesus Christ, Who was as innocent as they come, willingly laid down His life and suffered perhaps the most horrible possible way to die. He has partaken of this suffering just as we have. The people who deserve the blame are the ones committing the sins: us.
