nope , none of you get my question . Just a guy , a believer , whose faith has been severely tested on this one . I know no one has any real answer . Nor do I . I just deeply wonder why the Lord seems to so often ignore our mortal pleas and allows us to be slaughtered , or die , or be murdered . Even when crying out for Him to save us . why? It doesn’t seem right to me . There should , at times , be more tangible evidence of an active and engaged living God . Yet we just suffer and die tragically
“There should , at times , be more tangible evidence of an active and engaged living God”.
Oh come on Leo. The sun rises and sets daily as ordained in the beginning, and speaking of all the other “issues” how do you suppose God is to judge man if man never does wrong? There are earthly and eternal consequences to wrong doing, and for God to undue all that in the name of Leo’s vision of life, would go against every principle of man’s agency and God’s plan.
“Yet we just suffer and die tragically” as if the Savior of mankind was NOT called upon to do the same for us? We are here to live life as best we can while we can, and follow in Jesus footsteps. We all are destined to die, how when where is perhaps known, but not by us.
