How does anyone explain it?

I can make a small effort. The devil loves it when we try to blame God for horrible things that happen because it causes us to question His infinite goodness. When Adam committed high treason by defying God in the Garden of Eden, and because all humanity descended from Adam, we were all transfered into the kingdom of darkness. God originally created man to live forever, and he would have had he not chosen to disobey the Lord, thus giving his allegiance to the devil. God, out of His great mercy, chose to send His Son, Jesus to pay the price for the sins of us all. This was the only way for fallen man to be forgiven, redeemed, justified, and thus restored to the position of a new creation---made righteous once again before God. Those who accept this gift are transferred into the Kingdom of God. However, until the return of Jesus Christ, satan and his dark minions still are permitted to rule in this world; thus, birth defects, terrible tragedies, and unspeakable evil will continue until the day of the Lord. Our job is to live as examples of the Lord's love, sharing the Gospel with as many as we can so that they can avoid the destiny of hell, meaning that they did nothing to accept the Lord's gift of salvation. This family is doing exactly what God has asked them to do. The Lord will use this precious little child for good and not evil. She will be a blessing far greater than anyone can predict. I hope this message comes across with the spirit of love and caring that I intended it to convey. God bless.

Seems a wee bit stiff to me to punish all humanity for what amounted to Adam sassing his Father. It explains at least a few of the "teenage boy chained in the basement and fed only on alternate Tuesdays" stories we seem to see more and more these days.

meaning that they did nothing

I admire you for trying to explain. I just dont believe you should give the impression that we must do somthing in order to be saved. It sounds like your playing the part of Pharisee. It kinda sounds like .........Im smart enough to get myself saved. We all deserve hell its just some of us are saved. Our lord dosent wish this guy was saved but somehow cant quite pull it off without his help. He is either saved and will be quickened in our lords choice of time or not.

I still think its cool that you want to help.

Much love

How true, you can sense it by the many hearwarming wishes conveyed by the public. Yes! these tragedies will occur and it is only our deep love of God that helps us to transfer that love to all human beings. One can now understand God's plan.... "Love one another as I love You"
