Is god working in "mysterious ways" when children are abducted, molested and murdered so often in the world.

Question

I am sure that god is busy with the stem cell debate and prayer in schools and intelligent design and r rated movies and birth control. Right?

Answer 1

Wow...talk about a scattershot question. Why don't you just admit that you hate God? That would be an honest statement...

Answer 2

I get that you were being sarcastic. But even though God works in mysterious ways people use that as a cop out all the time. If you believe in the Christian God then you believe he gave us free will. It is the free will of man that creates these atrocities, not God.

And no, Satan doesn't make them do it. And before anyone gets mad at me for saying that here's the deal: Until you've actually come face to face with a child molester and can tell me from personal experience that there is some evil planted in their heart by Satan I don't want to hear it. I have come face to face with a few, and trust me, although there are no words to describe... the decision-making was all theirs, all the work of free will. There was no Satan whispering in their ear.

Answer 3

My difficulty is, i'm homeless and that i now comprehend that what I counted on to probably carry me out of my difficulty isn't actual, and that i'll proceed to be homeless, out and in of shelters. everywhere I turn, I listen christian say 'Pray about it,' or 'do not let devil use you,' and it truly is consistent-yet those similar Christians won't be able to help me-they offer me issues they themselves doesn't pick-undesirable housing, spoiled food, previous outfits, etc. I honestly have by no ability taken drugs, or offered them, by no ability prostituted my body, or carried out some thing unlawful-yet i'm nonetheless living this life the position i think God has forsaken me. For the record, i become molested and raped as a baby, and neither my mom or my different kinfolk believed me. I honestly have tried to believe God on account that i become 9, yet this question that this guy requested is one which i pick solutions to, myself. i won't be able to figure out how human beings's sin are the reason why childrens could wade through, and what's worst is, even as those freaks try this to chance free children-they visit detention center, locate Jesus, get forgiveness, and that is it. What about the little ones they damage? What about that? I honestly have a not hassle-free time believing any God can enable for little ones to be slighted, and turn round and forgive the human beings who did it. i do no longer imagine there's a God. couldn't be. it really is all I honestly could say.

Hey that is Frank Zappa on your picture, right?

And to your question: No, it isn't any God working in mysterious ways, Human Beings doing all this, no God needed. It's so easy to see, why do you ask? Are you waiting for a God to clean up our mess here?

Answer 5

God is never too busy. I noticed you didnt bring up the tens of millions of preborn children aborted as well

what you are describing is the problem of evil in the world. Yes we live in a sin cursed world. The world was made good but man sinned and death came into the world. Pain suffering and death and what you described is the breakdown of the good creation because of the fall.

God does work in "mysterious ways" His wonders as William Couper the song writer who himself struggles with suicidal depression all his life and was encouraged by his paster John Newton to write songs to help. We live in a broken sinful world... and this is why we need a redeemer

Answer 6

Stop..God doesnt do thoses things, or any of the other things this world wants to blame him for. We have an enemy that wants to rob..steal..kill and destroy everything in in out lives. Satan has been very suttle in is attacks, that many dont see who is the real enemy is. You dont belong to him, Christ, then you belong and live in the world & subjected to the things of it. Your protection comes throught Christ, praying and binding the word of God over your life and everything in it! That includes your children and family..interceeding for their every need. Yes God does cleasing and he will continue as this year progresses, but satan is always going about roaring like a loin waiting to devour. Isnt it time we take a closer look at who wants to devour us? When you belong to Christ you have the authority to call on his name, and to recieve Protection from the vile things the devil and his cohorts can do & operate through others on this earth. If you have had some one in your life affected by one of these things you mentioned its time for healing..delervance and freedom only Christ can and has already given.

Answer 7

Do you think that God will not punish those people who commit these crimes. Hundreds of thousands get away with murder or worse in life, do you think that they do not have to face God and an eternity of damnation, where the fire is never quenched and the worm never dies. This life is not heaven and the ruler of this present world is Satan and his minions, and he is on a mission to turn God's creation against God. Think about it; Satan was kicked out of heaven and knows his time is limited so what can he do other than take God's creation that he loves and made in his image and turn it against him. and then say see even your own creation don't like you.

Answer 8

God does not cause bad things to happen. God does not cause people to do sinful things. People choose to sin. When people reject God; war, sickness, death, rape,murder etc are the result.
We cannot blame God for our deliberate decisions. If we choose to reject Him, we can live with the resulting circumstances that we now see ourselves living in. Look at the state of our schools today. Kids are being shot by students, teachers are having sex with the students, all hell has broken loose in our schools. Now think about it, when did all this start happening? Think hard. I'll tell you. All this stuff started happening as soon as we removed pictures or removed all religious expression in our schools. If you take God out of something, you create a void and that void can be filled with evil. We told God to get out of our schools and He graciously left. However satan has now found room to come in and God no longer gives our schools His blessings or His protection. We told Him to get out and He did. God is not to blame for societys problems. We are!!

Answer 9

Like the Kingpin said in the movie Daredevil, "Ain't noboby innocent!"
We have all lived before and took life. So we have to experience getting our life snubbed out early. Or how a
parent feels to lose a child.
We're here to overcome self-righteousnesss, and hypocrisy.
I wish you Luck!

Answer 10

Yeah GOD is working. And people are rejecting him and we are seeing the end result. The only people who ask these questions are people who do not believe. That is a lot like Hezbollah firing rockets at Israel from behind apartment buildings and when they return fire saying "See what those animals did? They attack civilians." Are you seeing a pattern here? I am. All the attacks on GODs people seem to come from the same source. It's not even original.

Answer 11

inteligent design is just a way to get god into science and has failed it is a joke like creation and religion is stoping scieince yet again to help the human race and birth control why not tell that out of date pope to let the africans have condoms to stop them from dieing from aides that pope with his old laws let 23million die because of him
