Did this malformed baby have a soul? What point did this create? What was God's purpose for letting this happen?

Both babies died; the first 18 months after surgery, the second, shortly after the surgery.

For added details, each undeveloped baby puckered it's lips when the mother breast fed the other baby. Quite distrubing isn't it?

Sadly, the malformed baby was not given a name...

Answer 1

The "Loving God" of the New Testament and the New Agers is just as much a human projection as the harsh, vindictive god of the Old Testament and the Koran. While I have no doubt that both the universe and ourselves are ultimately and originally spiritual in essence, that does not in any way help us with the task of living in this world. A task, which as your sources illustrate, is often very, very grim....

For all intents and purposes we're on our own here.

Answer 2

Malformed is the key working word . they would not have survied on thier own. it is nice that we have the means to try and save these mistakes of nature. but we are not Gods our selfes yet . so therfore we can only do the best we can and hope it works.
If the parents wern't so wracked with grief they could still have had the births recorded and given them a name.

Answer 3

'God' Gives Us Complete Freedom!

When We have Freedom and We Don't Consult the Manufacturer('God') !
Then the tendency is for things to go wrong!

'God' Never forces Us to Follow him or Love Him!

Why is it that people Always say "If God is All Seeing and All Loving Why does he allow such cruel things to happen?"
He Doesn't!, but he can Intercede!(If Consulted)

We (As A Population) have Free reign over 'Gods' Creation-
Treat it with the utmost respect, but then things May still happen! We just have to learn from these Things!

Answer 4

I think it's obvious that we will not know why God creates a situation like this. But it's safe to say that most of us feel that our parents are stupid also until we grow and mature enough to begin to realize why they did what they did. Only as adults do we realize what they were trying to do. When we meet God, I'm sure we will learn why he does the things he does.

Answer 5

Your poor soul !!!. Why are you put blame on God for the wrong things done by the soul in their previous births.

The cycle of birth and death would continue until the soul got United with the Supreme.

Hence it is our good and bad deeds that driven our fate.

Do meditation for unification for the soul to the Divine force.

Thanks

Answer 6

Unfortunately we can't understand why God does all that he does. Perhaps there has been a lesson learned that will somehow save many more lives. Maybe something else was going to happen to these children and they are better off in Heaven now. All we can do is Pray for them. At least he didn't have time to molest them before he sent them to heaven.

Answer 7

How can God allow His only Son to be tortured, crucified and die a criminal's death?

Horrible things happen but believe that a greater good can come out of it. Had these babies not have died, would you even be bringing this topic up to the rest of us? Would our consciousness about these sort of things even be awoken to it?

Answer 8

It is terribly sad and it is all a result of man allowing sin to enter into God's perfect creation. I don't mean to imply that this is a punishment, but it is a consequence of ours as a result of our (the world's) sin. This was not what God had planned for us.

When we see results like this, of what sin can do to a world, bringing about disease and decay and deformity... ::shakes head::: it serves a purpose if only to bring us to our knees and seek His face in this our hour of great need.

God has given us all free will because he did not want to make us robots pre-programmed to love him. He has so much beauty and perfection and joy to shower upon us, but we have chosen to serve our flesh and our desires instead, which allows sin to enter into our world and grab hold and eventually do things like this to these poor little ones.

We need Jesus. This is all I can say. We all need to repent and seek His face that He might through the shedding of his blood atone once and for all for all our sins and bring about a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH.

Answer 9

The answer lies in the Reincarnation theory of hindus. As per our belief, we face the consequence of our bad Karma, in this life or in next life.

As per hinduism, we have to bear the burden of our bad deeds, and there is no relief from it by any way (repentence etc)...though repentence may decrease the intensity of punishment slightly.

Mother Nature governs this Law of Karma, and God does not interfere into this natural phenomenon, as per our belief.

So those whom you see ill, poor, or pitiable in this birth without any apparent cause of this life, are certainly undergoing purging of their sins of last birth.

We should just pray for them, and pray God to end their punishment early.... it is possible also their death brought an end to their sufferings...and they headed for a better next life

Answer 10

OK i dint read the stories but what i can say is this -

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. -Jhn10:10

the world does not know this but we do. thats why we are called to witness unto them

God bless u!
