Why doesn't "god" prevent horrible birth defects?

Question

It would seem that a kind and loving "god" would not want such things to happen.

It's hard to imagine, but I actually got a "free will" answer to a question about BIRTH DEFECTS. Pathetic is not a strong enough word.

Answer 1

yea i think so too if "god" loved us then he shouldnt make innocents suffer thats y i quit being a christian and really thumbs me down i dont care :)

Answer 2

Stop blaming God for everything that doesn't come out right! Many years ago God created a perfect world and gave Adam and Eve all they ever could want in the Garden of Eden except the fruit from the tree of knowledge, Eve listened to a serpent and ate from that tree, then gave some fruit to Adam from that tree, then they were banished from the garden and ever since then, the world was no longer perfect..God had the power to save his only Son from being crucified and nailed to the cross, but it was meant to be. There is a saying, " Suffer little children to come unto Me " These children are Gods chosen ones!

Answer 3

We right now are the furthest we, as people, have been FROM the perfection enjoyed by Adam and Eve.
They started us on this road of imperfection with their disobedience to God.
(Genesis 2:16-17) And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.”

We have all died ever since.

And our health is tied to our growing old and dying.

The early Patriarchs of Genesis chapter five lived to nearly a thousand years.

but since the days of King David, our lifespans have been reduced to about what they are now.

(Psalm 90:9-10) For all our days have come to their decline in your fury; We have finished our years just like a whisper. 10 In themselves the days of our years are seventy years; And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years, Yet their insistence is on trouble and hurtful things; For it must quickly pass by, and away we fly.

We are a long way down the road from King David.

Despite our claims of better health care, we really are no better off than then.

But we can look forward to better times, when God eliminates wickedness.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

No more defects of any sort.

Answer 4

Once Jesus was asked, why a man was born blind, because his parents had sinned? Jesus' answer was NO, not because his parents had sinned, but rather, to glorify God. Without all the bad things in TIME, the perfection in heaven wouldn't be as glorious to us; we don't truly appreciate things, until we lose them. We couldn't fully know how life COULD BE without God's blessings, until we experienced it.

Without Jesus' intervention, that blind man was without hope, but through Jesus, his sight was returned. All the good things are because of God, and all the bad will be done away, and to HIS GLORY.

This time world is a learning experience for us. With God's protection and blessing comes great joy, but without His protection and blessing comes horrific troubles.

Answer 5

Let's remember that man brought sin and death into this world. After all, Satan didn't make Adam and Eve sin in the garden. With sin came death, not to mention the end to a perfect world. I'd have to say it somewhat has to do with free will. If you drive a car 90 miles per hour down a one way street going the wrong way and you run into another car head on and die... It's not God's fault. It was your free will choice that lead you to die.

Answer 6

After Adam and Eve fell from grace this opened up the earth to death,disease and destruction.Blame Adam not God.We live in a fallen creation and our blessed hope comes in eternity with God where "He will wipe away every tear".Sure things can be heartbreaking now but it will all be put right in heaven and for eternity.Believe me I know.

Answer 7

I know of one preacher whose son was born without a part of his brain. This man prayed and asked God to heal his son, God did. This child now has all of his brain. I have also heard of babies before being born have healing. Sin in the world brings all types of problems. God has made away through Jesus to bring healing to all. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, which is sickness and birth defects. His children can be healed, but it is up to God as to when the time for healing takes place. I have been healed of so much. I felt like I should have been healed right away, but for some reason God chose the time. This is where our faith and trust in Him has to keep us.

Answer 8

God didn't want it either, that is why He told Adam and Eve, "DO NOT eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for in the day you do, YOU SHALL DIE.. and mankind has suffered death both physically and spiritually ever since that dreadful day. So God is not to blame for the choice Adam and Eve made. God did recompense though, by sending Jesus Christ to redeem mankind and to cleanse the people from their sins and to heal all their sicknesses and infirmities. It is the unconditional love of God who has done this and we may call upon the name of Jesus to receive anything and everything we need and it is supplied...Faith is the key to heaven's supply house but those who doubt, receive nothing and again, God is not to be blamed, He already has given us His very BEST, His SON and as He has given us His Son, surely He will give us all things needed in this life and in the life to come.....It's just that simple....

Answer 9

god loves everyone,unconditionally.If i was always getting the blame for things i haven't done,(and had all that power) i think if I'd been a hate filled person,I'd have taken revenge centuries ago!God made us all with LOVE..if you do things with love and put all your heart into it,would you then go round and destroy it all?would you use all that power to ruin someones life just because you heard them calling you names?No.If we were all ken and barbie lookalikes,then the world would be a very dull place.we're all unique and perfect in our own way. x

Answer 10

Hello,

i hope ye are fine,

Actually in my sign is a link (dot= •) i donnot put just • cuz Y!A could see it as error-999 so.. in that last link is a video which answer your question, i guess you know Job´s history in the Bible, and He was a just, righteous man as Moses describes him, and suffered!

There´s a principle in which God let the people to reap what they planted, and did ye remeber the history of Lazarus? Jesus friend? He was a witness of God, due to even though he was called to to sleep in the Lord, and witnessed that as Job said: 15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him;... Job 13:15

In a christian book says, the next about it:
He was in the wilderness in obedience to God, and He would not obtain food by following the suggestions of Satan. In the presence of the witnessing universe, He testified that it is a less calamity to suffer whatever may befall than to depart in any manner from the will of God. Desire of Ages, page

Have a good time = )

Answer 11

Why doesn't God do this...why doesn't God do that?
I don't know how many times I have answered a question like this. Bad things exist because humans took for granted what He gave us. I doubt this answer will satisfy you....I doubt any will. If you don't think God exists though....why do you care?
