that Children are born with illness, and innocent children die? When my son died all I kept hearing was " it wasn't god" but yet they say he is more powerful than anything???

...first off we all belong to Him...so He has first dibs no matter what...
...the Lord may take a child from this world to be with Him because He may know that the things that child may experience may be too wicked for words and He won't allow it...we just can't know...
...also those born with illness or disability give the rest of us the chance to be loving and kind, thus we are given the opportunity to do His will...

God created satan and then satan tried to usurp God's authority. He was then kicked out of heaven and roams the earth causing destruction. I wish I had a neatly wrapped answer as to why your son died, but I don't. There is some evil that we will not understand on this earth. Other than that, I am so sorry for your loss.
I think everyone tried to tell you what they thought would bring you some comfort. Being a parent myself, I can't imagine your pain. I hope I answered your question and I will pray for your comfort.

God allows Satan to exist because He loves Satan. This is the only genuine possibility, absurd and insane though it seems. Because Satan is an angel, he is a species, in the scholastic sense rather than the biological, unique like all angels and can't be saved the way Christ saved humans, who are all the same species, by taking on his form. However, just as a Universe without conscious beings in it would be worse than one with them, in some way Satan has as much right to exist as we have.

The first ? is answered HE created all things ! The second is that Satan was Originally one of God's favorite angels(known as Lucifer) Lucifer got a big head and started thinking that he was better than God or at the very least just as important and wanted to have his own legions....After several trying incidents Lucifer made a brag that if given the choice that more souls would follow him...Well the upshot of that was God made a deal with him to the effect that he would allow him 6000 years to make good on his boast, after which He would make Judgment(it was after the pact that Lucifer became known as Satan)....In answer to the rest of your questions Satan is allowed to do evil on earth, It is up to True Believers to intercede and invoke Jesus' holy name to prevent these type of things from happening, More Believers are needed to make a stand against him to stop the evil !

First of all, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Sincerely.
Second, yes God, as the creator is more powerful than his creation ... the angel who turned himself into Satan, and will destroy him in his due time.
There were issues raised in the Garden of Eden and by Satan against Job that needed answering. And the truth of Jeremiah 10:23, which says that it does not belong to man to direct his own steps, needed time to be manifest. The greatest thing I can share with you, which helped me through the loss of my kid brother and my mother within a year of each other, is the hope promised at John 5:28,29 that all those in the memorial tombs will rise in God's due time. When that happens, the pain of his loss will be completely overshadowed by joy.

I am very sorry for your loss. Yes, innocent children die. This is because of the curse of sin on our planet. People ask, "Why doesn't God do anything about it?" The answer is, He DID, 2,000 years ago." He took all sin upon Himself, so that even though we die, we can be resurrected just as He was. Death is swallowed up in victory! Satan knows that he was defeated then, and he has only a little time left. That's why he's turning up the heat against humanity. Those who have Christ in their hearts needn't fear death. If you accept Christ and follow Him, you WILL see your son again one day soon!
"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" John 11:25-26

When Satan and man fell from grace, Satan was made the ruler of this world. So although God is sovereign and can do whatever He wishes, Satan is free to cause as much misery as he can. I am so sorry that he caused your son pain. Such loss is simply a graphic demonstration of how very far we are as a race from the holiness of God.

My son was near death 3 years ago, when he was only 31/2 years old. I asked God to take my life instead..apparently, God didn't think it was my time.
A month later, after my son's surgery, in his little speech and words, he asked me: " Mommy, put on your wings and fly like in hospital".
I was in shock. A month later, out of the blue he remembered something? I'm sorry honey, I do believe vehemently that God exists. I can and won't ever deny his presence in my life.

Sorry to hear about your son. God is 'All powerful' - he created the Angel Lucifer - who became a fallen Angel/aka the devil. The good Lord know's his reason for giving and taking life. I know it's hard to understand as I lost my twin sis 3 years ago.
I wasn't angry at God for taking my twin - all I kept thinking was why? One day for sure when I'm reunited with her then I will get to know the answer.
best wishes

I'm sorry about your son but you have to think of it like this.
People die. People suffer - thats life. If everything && everyone was perfect then what would be the point of us even existing. You can't blame God for everything, we all have to die some day, and yes their is innocent people who die but this life isn't forever, and for them, their reward in the hereafter is much greater than what they ever had to got through in this life. God has his reasons.
