The same sun shines down on all of us and we all get rained on. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

God promised to make everything fair (reward the righteous, punish the wicked) on the day of judgment, but not a day earlier. So no, this life isn't fair, and it's hard to know if things happen because of God, or any of the other many causes, but I do know that someday, it will all be made right.
I had a friend who's father died of pancreatic cancer. You're right it's very fast, and scary, and you're going to experience a whole range of emotions as you go through the grieving process...just hang in there, you'll be okay.
hugs

Time and time again I say it and no one listens. What if death is a gift? All these morons that say, how is there a God if a child dies, how is there a God if a persons dies before they even get a chance to live. WHAT IF LIVING IS WORSE THAN DYING. I'd sure as heck rather be chillin in heaven right now instead of this ignorant, man run, scum of a world.

Quit blaming God for all the things that happen to us humans, he has no hand in it. We all have cancer cells in our bodies and it is a know en fact that diet is what sets a lot of our decease's off. Injuries self and or inflicted cause infections that can kill us it has nothing to do with innocents or being bad. Your nan is with God now, so rejoice in your memory of her and move on God bless.

Why do you think it is a punishment? If you believe punishment will give by god to a person who do crime or involve with bad activity , Then how it will be punishment to a good person?
So think like this.. Even if it is a gold you will test it. Just like that god always tests good people .When you successfully pass his tests you will be seated near to god. So face it. Life is full of tests and challenges. when you realize to find which is punishment and which is test ,You may understand god will punish only bad people .

Good question! Many people ask this when loved ones die.
Death is the result of man's sin. It is a punishment from God, but there is hope. God gives us eternal life. If we believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead, then we will be with Him forever in heaven.
Everyone dies. God does not strike people dead because they are doing evil things (/relief). Bad things happen to good people. No one ever said that if you are good, only good can happen to you.

I'm sorry for your loss do not despair for your nan. Know in your heart that she is being taken care of. Offer your suffering as Jesus did on the the cross. We will all live eternally. Very few will enter the kingdom of God directly because most do not love him perfectly, those who love God but do so imperfectly will go to purgatory where you will be cleansed and purified. For how long
depends on how you've lived your life on earth. The rest will suffer greatly in hell for eternity. The human heart will never rest until it rests in Him, therefore seek Him and you will find peace. God bless
It is also very important to pray for those in purgatory as they cannot pray for themselves but they do pray for us
God used to punish those people of iniquities in the old testament but since Jesus died for us on the cross punishment will be due in his glorious return, however God does allow chastisement of the world to bring about a greater good which is a return of man to him. Bad things do happen to good people, there is merit in struggle we become stronger for it.

Death and suffering do not come from God. They were brought into the world by Satan, when Adam and Eve screwed up. When Jesus died on the cross for us, He gave us victory over spiritual death. When He comes again, He will give us victory over physical death. The more you are on God's?Jesus' side the more Satan attacks you. If you truly believe in God, then you believe in His love and KNOW that He uses all things for good.

When God started everything, everything was to be perfect ....to make us happy and enjoy life.
Someone else put a stick in the spokes.
1 John 5:19 reveals the whole world is in the power of Satan.
He is the one you should blame.
God will bring things around like He wanted it in the beginning.

God does not punish good people, he just takes them early. Death is not a punishment, its often a release. everyone dies, its the people who live lives of violence and mental turmoil like Osama that are being punished.
