only Christians answer I want to see what they say, why can't god stop a tragedy without affecting free will?

Question

for example he could have stopped the plane in mid air and set it down during the 9/11. that would have been a great miracle.

Answer 1

I consider myself to be a not a mainstream Christian as I like to believe in all things... Many people might not consider me to be a Christain. How ever I do consider myself a Christain that leans toward gnostic and new age believes ect... I believe the earth to be a living entity that was created by God The all divine creator. There is line in the Bible that goes some thing like if ye have faith the size of a mustard seed ye could move mountains. I learned from some one who I will always consider to be a friend regardless; that the Star of
David haveing two triangles that are the same size and shape one pointing up the other pointing down means the same above the same below. This friend also help me to realize that the truth and Divinity of God is within every one of us and that we we are all as Christ. The big problem being and its a huge one is that the Churches as a whole seem to be stirring people away from this thruth.

The Miracle reported in the Bible of the Red Sea parting was a Miracle that was there for those that knew that they were Gods people who held the light of God and true Divinity within them. The fact that God did not stop the 9/11 tragedy was caused by Dark Forces blocking peoples Faith that such a Miracle could happen

Answer 2

God only shows us what is right and wrong. What people choose to do with that is up to them. Some people were found alive under all that rubble. Can you believe that?

One of those planes WAS stopped before it could hit it's target. The passengers knew that at the very least some of them would die trying to take back the plane, but they still tried. God is inspiration. What's that?? ohh yeah, you'll be saying "but the people died on the plane" instead of thinking of all the people that didn't die because it was stopped.

OOoooohh wait.. that's not the miracle YOU wanted. You think there can only be a God if he performs the miracles you want him to in the way you want him to. That's why Atheists are Atheists. You want to be God, and you are pissed that you can't be, and if God won't do what you want, then he must not exist.

Answer 3

God has and sees the "greater good". Look at how many people changed "for the better" of mankind when it first happened. True many were only short timers and went right back to the way they were and the things they were doing, but many did turn to and find God during that tragedy and the fall out of that same tragedy is carrying over even today....

People, mankind and the world is a different place because of what happened.

And I mean nothing bad by this but, A person does not die unless it is their time to go. So God did not take the life of anyone who's time had not come.

God Bless

Answer 4

You have some bad assumptions. The first is that God is NOT the "god of this World," the Holy Bible SAYS that IS Satan and will be until Armaggedon. The second thing is that God doesn't interfere because he has a point to make and and as much as he hates it, this has to happen.

Satan wasn't destroyed because God was a wimp, he wasn't destroyed because he didn't challenge God's power (God would have won), and he knew it. Instead, he challenged God's "RIGHT TO RULE" over not just the Angels, but also the new humans. (This is in the Bible - look in Job). So, if God had destroyed him THEN, the angels and humans would have wondered, "what if?" so by allowing the fallen angels and mankind the chance to rule themselves these last 6-7 thousand years, we've made a right mess of it, almost to the point of being able to wipe ourselves out, not just militarily, nuclearly, through waste and toxic elements, but by our own waste products such as oxone depleting chemicals, water contaminants, etc.), the ocean water is warming and the sea is rising, possibly leading to another Ice Age within the next 100 years.

So, it has nothing to do with "free will," and everything to do with self-rule and a challenge to be able to do it. In the end, everyone will find out that only God can rule mankind because he created them and knows whats best.

Answer 5

what makes you think He can't? If nothing bad ever happened, how would we be able to test our faith? the Bible says that we will know when Jesus is coming because bad things will start happening. And as far a 9/11 goes, God did do a merical. the plane that crashed into the fireld, was going to hit the white house. God helped that plane fight back, and they landed in a field. if they hadn't fought back and hit the white house, where would we be? If all our leaders were dead, we have dies too. We would have to elect another president, and other officers, but that would give them time to come get all of us. God IS protecting us, but he isn't stopping tragety becasue it has to happen. it's part of life, and until Jesus comes again, life has to happen. Adam and Eve ate the apple, and now we have sin. That's just how it worked out.

Answer 6

Everything in due time! The God of love, wisdom, power and justice is not slow respecting his promise... He will make everything clear real soon even to his enemy and ridiculers... In the meantime, we're all free to believe, say and do what we want... He knows that once he does step in, when he has no other choice as man himself would destroy the whole planet unless he did, interfere, not one soul will be justified in any way to question him like this ever again... and woe to the one who tries such a thing then! As far as right now is concerned, we have no one to blame but ourselves for how things are going, except of course for the Father of the Lie, the 2 Corinthians 4: 4 who just loves all he does that the true God is getting blamed for! But he too, is on his last leg and doesn't have long to wait before he gets what's coming to him at long last! Armageddon to the rescue! with Jesus as King of Peace who will put an end to all other governments and restore the planet to what it was meant to be all along!

Answer 7

A miracle for who? It is a tragedy of what occurred and the pain of the families left with great loss.

Free will? Those men knew that they were doing evil and would cause great harm as was their intent.

Free will? We had the knowledge and technology to have prevented the action perhaps, but chose not tolisten

Those sort of men have tried such actions many times before and we did not hear it .

Perhaps that was the miracle? Did we hear it?

Answer 8

God does not openly interfere in the affairs of man and has not since the birth of His only son, Jesus Christ. Tragedies exist because of original sin. God has nothing to do with it. As a matter of fact, during the end times God will then again become obviously apparent in the affairs of man..... He could have if that was part of His original design.....

Answer 9

Then would you need faith to believe? The only way to show the true character of a person is to test them .. if everyone knew there was god - like "knew - proven 100% true by science" then everyone would be as nice as possible to everyone else cos they didnt was to go to hell. As it is people are ***** and show their true character.

Also - i believe that there is a purpose behind everything - both good and bad. It is not for us to judge when we know so little about the working of existance.

Death is a fact of life. Without it we would not appreciate life at all - i also think this is a important point.

Answer 10

answer me this. how could it have been a miracle if it didn't happen? if it never happened in the first place and everyone went along with their little lives we wouldn't have known the difference. if it stopped in mid air and was set down people would have made up a scientifical therouy for why it happend
