If God allows more terror attacks on the US would it alter your idea of Him or will U call it the will of God

Question

The terrorists claim that they are doing it for God.

Answer 1

If God allows anything, it is always the will of God.

Answer 2

lol Well, I guess it's safe to say you're an atheist. I can understand how this must seem to an atheist. Maybe you should ask yourself, when people choose to reject God, is God the one at fault? (not that you believe in God, but hopefully you're open minded enough to put yourself in someone else's shoes) Both Christians and Muslims know a much different God than the one that these psychopath terrorists follow. God WANTS us to have free will. He grants us the ability to choose between God or our own self-righteous desires. In fact, God's entire purpose for creating us was so that He could have someone in His own image to love, and hopefully, we'd love Him back and find fellowship in Him. So I suppose that God is the one at fault but only to the extent of granting us free will. The terrorists are at fault for abusing that gift to the point of murder.

You might note that I said "in His own image." This is exactly why He grants us free will. How could God love someone who's not in His own image? That's like humans loving trees or robots, and you obviously can't have a real relationship with a preprogrammed robot.

So, no, that wouldn't alter my perception of God. He is exactly Whom I've always believed Him to be. I liked someone else's answer that mentioned the book of Revelation. Not only would I think "If God allows more terror attacks", but I believe that God WILL allow more terror attacks. Hopefully not in my lifetime, but at the rate this world is moving, I think you'd agree that we're headed for a much more violent world in the future.

I hope that puts things into perspective for you.

EDIT: "The terrorists claim that they are doing it for God."
Or so they say.... As I already mentioned, they're following their own man-made God. They're psychopaths.

Answer 3

There will be more attacks. The Bible is full of examples of God using one people to punish another. This country has strayed so far away from what the founding fathers intended us to be. It is only by God's grace and patience that we are still here. Why do you think this country has not won a war in 60 years? We are losing God's favor. One day this country will be over run by an enemy and we'll have no one to blame but ourselves for our disobedience to God.

Answer 4

Terror attacks are works of satan against the will of God for peace and order. The statan is conceiving people who are doing the attacks in disturbing many nations.. The terrorist attacks are those who belong to non religious people.

Answer 5

Terror attacks are the works of terrorists, not God. I do not believe God "allows" them as punishment as sin and I do not believe they are his will. The idea that he punishes the innocent for the "sins" of others is ridiculous.

Answer 6

If there were a God then he allowed attacks in Madrid, in London and in Iraq a couple of weeks ago that killed 400 men, women and children. Why would he single out the US for special protection?

Answer 7

No no matter what happens in this world I would not change the way I think of God. God tells us in his words whats happening, whats going to happen. Gods will is that man would repent from sin and turn back to him. And he would save the world. I dont see it happening because man is of sin nature.

Answer 8

I would only call it the will of the people. Not so holy people, I might add. And, no. God does not condone war, people do. And so, no, how I know God for who God is, will not change.

Answer 9

That's God's plan, we are not in control, if that's his will than so be it, but lets pray that won't be the case!

Answer 10

it won't alter my idea, but presupposing that He LETS things happen... i don't really understand it all, but i'm sure there will be more attacks... eventually.
