Why didn't Jesus protect them?

Question

Why didn't Jesus protect all of the people who were brutally murdered, or killed by suicide bombs, or swept away by the waves? Why does Jesus let people die painfully everyday?

Answer 1

jesus isnt worried about the physical body, he wants us to find God. If you found God whilst a quadroplegic, then it's a life well spent in his eyes. It's very cruel, but hey I think thats the way it is.

Answer 2

Sweet Pea all things happen in life for a purpose and some things have to happen. Why I don't know. Jesus himself was brutally murdered by the very people who praised him and called him their God. Why did they do that? It's no so much as he let them die, part of life is death. Your soul doesn't feel death your soul is released from the pain right after you die so the body feels he pain. Hope this helps. God bless!

Answer 3

Jesus made a way after death. If you've accepted him, the thought of dying would still be sad but you'd know that you were going to live with him forever. The thought that you were dying would still be sad or maybe even scary but you'd know that you were going to a better place.
Right now the Earth is like Satan's little playground. He is for now the ruler of it. This is why we need Jesus in our lives. With all the turmoil and hate that's going on in the world we need his peace and love in our lives. He died so that death would no longer be the ending point. He made a way so that after death we could could live. Live with him forever in Heaven. That is why I can Honestly say that if I were to die today, I'd still be sad that I'm leaving behind my friends and family for now but I'd know that i was going to a place so much better than this, where I will soon be reunited with all that have accepted him as well,as the Son of God and Lord and Savior. I'll be with the One who loves us forever. My family and friends that have also accepted him, I'll be seeing them one day. That's something that gives me hope and strength to go on every day!

Answer 4

I don't why He did not save all those people, but I do know one thing- it is sin that causes things like this to happen. Sin causes consequences and unfortunately in the instances you mentioned "innocent" people were killled. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord".
For anyone who has lost a loved one or friend in these disastrous ways, I am so sorry- and you can be sure that Jesus is weeping too.

Answer 5

Mankind brought the death, destruction and sin into the world (read about Adam and Even in Genesis in the Bible). Jesus came to teach us how to love one another and to save us from death, destruction and sin, through our obedience. This is our protection (Read about Jesus in the book of John in the Bible). We need to listen to Him. Most people don't and that is why all of this is going on.

Answer 6

There is a controversy between God and satan. God is allowing sin to play out with its consequences in order to prove to the universe that His law is best. satan says that no one needs to or can keep God's law. God is not the author of sin. He does not force anyone to love Him. Sin is the transgression of God's law. The wages of sin is death. All have sinned. Sin seperates us from God because He is the giver of life. Jesus died to pay for our sins so that we can have life eternal if we choose Him and accept that gift. God is allowing us to see the horrible result of turning our backs on Him so that when we get to heaven we will NEVER be tempted to sin again!

Answer 7

We all die, one way or another. Is it better for someone to die of a deadly illness in a hospital? Or of old age, even? Have you ever seen someone who died of old age? It's not very glamorous, and seldom painless. Death is a part of life; do you wish to be protected from life?

Answer 8

Jesus is not the present ruler of this world. Jesus made it clear that we would be murdered for our faith.

Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Mat 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Mat 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Mat 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Mat 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Mat 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Answer 9

It all goes with free will----
Before Sin is destroyed totally-- we will reach the point where we can bear it no more! To totally appreciate the destruction of sin & the peace & harmony given-- we must sustain through these troubled times.

Answer 10

You forget that God had given mankind free will. People need to stop expecting God/Jesus to come to their rescue every time there's trouble. What is most important is our spiritual security and that is Gods focus. Worldly things (i.e. money, the flesh, etc.) shouldn't really come up on the radar.
