"As much as we weep, as much as we mourn their loss, as much as we miss them, God weeps with us," said Stephen Volpe, their pastor at Cheshire United Methodist Church.
HUH?

I think that he means that the amount that we mourn, God mourns the same. I guess.

I think he just said that in a weird way. The way I interpret that is--> Yes, you might be sad. Yes, you might feel alone. Yes, you might mourn their loss for a while. Just know that God is with you through it all. You aren't alone. You aren't the only one that misses them. That you'll get through it, and he's there to help.
Basically, I think he was trying to comfort them. And let them know their reaction is normal...and that they're not alone nor should they feel like they are.
I could be wrong.
I guess maybe it's similar to the "being carried during your darkest hours-- one set of footprints" short story.

I have come to understand that the god of christianity is non other than the pope.... I don't think the pope care anything at all about this murdered familly... In life he puts on a great show but in the end he's no better than one of the first in his position... Julius Ceasar... emperor of Rome... except the Pope don't even have governmental authority even in rome these days.... stop giving your freedom away to this man people.

Wow... weird because I don't think God weeps... I believe he would be happy to have another angel. I'm not a fan of Methodists..

Jesus Christ, God the Son, cries with us in our mourning. As in John 11:33-35:
When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he became perturbed and deeply troubled, and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Sir, come and see."
And Jesus wept.
God is not just an old man on a throne far away. He is intimately involved in what happens every day to every person.
When God became human in Jesus Christ, he was fully human and fully God. God personally knows what it is like to be a human and have a loved one die.
With love in Christ.

God does weep at the murder of His children. What is hard to understand?

so you want to know if when you die you go to God, so why would God "weep with us" ? if it was murder...it would sound understandable. God would weep with us because of the shock and horror.

he's just saying that god feels our pain and blah blah blah. he's also kinda saying that god feels our pain more because we are his children and some of his children were murdered.
which i find highly hypocriticle because everyone says that god has his plans for us and our lives are predetermined so basically when we die and how we die is what god chose for us.....so why would he weep with us when he made it so?
that's why church people are essentially fake...whether they know it or not, or if it's intentional. they just can't keep their story straight.
