my entire family was wiped out in a nasty car accident;now what?

Question

father,mother,two brothers and my sister burned to death in car accident.I hate when people say it is a test fom God;why would this happen?

Answer 1

there is no god......it happens due to the fault of someone.

I feel for you loss, but it should shake your faith in god , not strenghten it.

Answer 2

I can tell you this much God does not ever want bad things to happen to anybody and expecially his children. This was not God will but I am sorry about your lost and hope the days to come will become somewhat better. Just go through all the signs of grief and you will get through this even stronger too. stay close to family that is left and your friends for support. i just hope you are old enough to stay by yourself.
again I am sorry about your lost and prayer are with you.

Answer 3

*thinks hard and slowly*

I have been thinking similar thoughts, and I've gone so far as to call God an ******** for the past few weeks.

Actually, I've asked Jesus to leave my heart, I've lost so much faith for my own reasons.

I have read the book of Job many times- which describes Jobs life as similar to yours ok?

Interesting to note that God never does answer Jobs questions of essentially "Why Me?"

I don't know why God allows such horrible things. I do know theres a small verse in the bible where satan shows Jesus all the mountains of the world and says "If you bow down and worship me, I'll give you all the nations of the world" Of course, Jesus doesn't bow down, which means satan is still in command.

So, based on this I wouldn't blame God for all the evil on this planet. However, I do blame God to the extent that "Why would a loving father allow such bad things to happen to his children?"

So, I don't know.

Answer 4

I could never see God doing something as this for a test. It is not God's m.o. However, we have a Devil who likes doing things like this. For instance, Job in the Bible had everything, taken away from him in one day. His entire family, house, flocks and Job himself was stricken with boil from head to toe. Did he blame God for it? Read the book of Job, it is a fascinating true story of one man trusting God through his devastation, did not cave in nor quit, but trusted to the end. God gave him back double for his trouble. The Devil is a liar. Not God. Let God be true and everyone else a liar.

Answer 5

Nasty things just happen they happen for a reason my mother in law died in a car accident and my father in law lost an eye and has pins all in his arms and can not work ne more. I am sorry to hear that your parents and siblings past away. Maybe you should seek counciling and see your extended family for support.
so sorry.

Answer 6

God don't test. You can grieve them and move on because you are still alive or you can look for somebody to blame, feel sorry for yourself and live a miserable life. The choice is entirely yours. There is help available but you've got to ask since nobody can read your mind. I'm sorry for you.

Answer 7

proverbs 3:5 & 6. lean not on your own understanding, and in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your path. it's not a test, no one can control fate. God does not do things to hurt you, but
only he knows the reasons for what he does, that's why you can't lean on your own understanding, because it's more than you can understand. i'm sorry to hear of your loss, and i and my family will pray for you. i know this doesn't help now, but time will heal your heart, and the pain will diminish. God bless you.

Answer 8

No one promised us a rose garden. Where did the human race get the idea that everything was always sweet and beautiful. We are all going to die our time here is short in the vastness of time and eternity. Observe the cruelty of nature.

Answer 9

This could disrupt your life so you too aren't living... but instead stuck in a past that is based on your desire it were different.

To live on is important, always in this moment. Take the opportunity to know what death is.

Answer 10

You're going to need all the help you can get here. Please seek counseling, and get involved in a church, if you're not. I will pray for you, and please have as many friends as possible pray for you as well. God loves us all, and will help. I really do believe He allows such things sometimes in order to strengthen us spiritually. Now more than ever, you need to find the inner strength deep down inside you. Please believe. God bless and help you through this.
