God gives compassion, mercy, and protects whom he wishes.
Perhaps when many people die at once, it's a sign and or it was their time.
We have free will the same as God has free will to pick and choose, to do his plans that we no nothing about. Since his capacity to love and hurt is greater than ours, so are his plans greater, because God's Wisdom is unlimited...... so how can we judge and accuse him.
The ones who blame God are the ones that don't have understanding, it's not their time to understand until they learn more about other things, learn more about life.
God put us all here for many reasons, we all should be helping one another. When greed comes first, some are not doing what they should be doing, this is what causes a chain reaction that causes many lives to die.
What are your thoughts?
Be nice to God, me and others.
Thanks... Peace and Love is what makes the world turn with less friction

Our free will is the reason why we are here. WE chose to come to this earth plane to gain experiences- hands on. God didn't throw us down here to fend the waves of turmoil, it was our choice. Each one of us thought, while observing from the other side, that we could make a better place for the physical plane. We watched while others tried, and we thought we could do better if we tried it out. So here we are, trying to figure it out, again, and again. Most people incarnate at least 5 times, average is 8, but most are doing their last tries right now, after this time we're through with the grand schemes. After we pass away physically, we'll all be back home, enjoying what we have gained in understandings, spiritual upliftments, and our pride in ourselves for our accomplishments will all be felt by Creator, and the others.

No. Its a simple thing called 'cause and effect'. Everything is caused by something even your actions. You do something (consciously or subconsciously) because you responded to a thought. That thought was triggered my something in your outside environment matched with certain neuro trasmitters that were programmed to trigger by a combination or your brains make up, past experiences and other neuro transmitteres. The environment is the same way. Everything that happens has a cause and every cause has an effect. It all started with the smallest sub atomic particle at the beginning of time. Free will suggest that you can have a thought that violates cause and effect. It also means you are capable of having a thought that is independent of Gods reach, thus making you a god and making God less powerfull.

It's so easy to blame God for things that are beyond our control. We're all going to die. We just don't want to deal with it. When death faces us, it's easier to strike out at God than to deal with our feelings on the death.
God doesn't necessarily grant us a wonderful life here. We are promised paradise in Heaven, not Earth. There is a reason for everything, and we can not judge God's reasons because we are not fully informed.
God did grant us free will. We choose what we do on Earth. But one simple decision will make us spend eternity with God and our Christian brothers & sisters, or an eternity in Hell.

"As long as men are egotistic and spread the seeds of arrogance, hatred, pride and are unmindful of their neighbor's suffering, Humanity will experience collective afflictions and tears that summon it to the ways of good and love, charity and self-sacrifice. When we are touched by the suffering of many, and share in the anguish that descends upon families in a catastrophe, let us help them and pray for them in a sanctified union of brotherhood. If we do so, we will be building even now a harmonious society which, upon crossing the grave, carries peace, hope and the happiness of a traveler who returns, with great joy, to his homeland."
Spirit of Joanna de Angelis.
I believe disasters that kill lots of people happen to make us realize that there is a God and that we are nothing without His protection, and that we have to work under His Law. Disasters, diseases, murder and any other kind of suffering are results of our own acts in this life or past lives, and although we have free will to make decisions, we are all born with our death determined.
Peace!

Every living things including mankind has his own destiny in life. Nobody on earth will live forever so that mankind may die today, tomorrow or some years to come We should not blame God for the death of our love ones either by accident or by natural death. God is not chosing and picking anybody else . He is fair to all of his creatures. The meaning of free will to us is your right to chose which you think it is good for you for bad for you. God does not exercise free will because he is not human like us. God has all the powers of what he want to do but he do not want to tell lies to us. He is perfect on everything and perfect with his dealings with us, His creatures.

God looked upon his creation and saw that it was good. There is no adjustments he needed to make, everything was perfect in order to fulfill his plan: to glorify himself. Just because this plan doesn't fit into our own agendas doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing- he does, his own Word makes it clear that the majority of humans will reject God, and even with all the people denying and hating and excluding God from their lives, the end result will be the same: At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Ironic isn't it....the ones that say He doesn't exist, insist we are alone in all we do, accountable to no one, free to choose what we want, (sounds like free will to me), but then point to the suffering and say it is because God allows suffering, this is another rational reason to reject Him.
What doesn't happen is acknowledge that man's free will is the cause for the suffering, yet, instead of recognizing this, it is much easier to blame God.

I'm concerned that you speak of MANY getting killed, because every SINGLE life is precious. I grant you that it often takes mass deaths for us to sit up and take notice, but we should learn just as much from one apparently needless death as from many. God's principles are the same for one as for many. We reap what we sow. We are all sinners. We all cause needless suffering for others because of our sinful, selfish desires and actions. We are all mortal. We all have to die one day. We all have to face the Judgment Throne.
God is sovereign and to be praised. All his ways are just and true. A Christian hymn goes, 'And whether our tomorrows be good or filled with ill, we'll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless him still.' That's a massive statement! How many could honestly say it? Faith enables us, and God gives faith to those who ask him.

How much easier is it to blame God for everything than to blame man (who usually causes these things), or just plain accept that it's the way it is.
What always amazes me is the people who say that (1) there is no God and (2) everything bad that happens is done by God or his fault. Huh?
