Their God is touch-feely, but impotent, and doesn't act in this world. Mine does. He will use EVERY means available to draw men to himself.

Including terrorist murder?

If your God does this (rather than allowing MAN to do it, in which case it is NOT God acting), how do you pray to such a cruel God?

Sinkspur,

I find it incredibly cruel that God's plan for man's redemption allowed his Son to hang on a cross.

My God did not cause the deaths of all these people. But, in a way known only to Him, He can use the sinful acts of others to draw men to himself. This is all part of God's plan. Free win. God's plan. It's not something any of us can comprehend......but it's far too simplistic to say that we are now under a new covenant, and therefore, God does not allow Satan to act as he did in the time of Job. Paul is very clear that Satan is acting on the earth in the New Testament.

God DOES judge the nations! Assuming for a moment that this is true, what does that mean?

You people are relating this to life on Earth. Do you all actually believe Heaven doesnt compare to life here? Jesus hung from a cross for us... It was terrible for Jesus but God allowed it to save us all and point us to him.... But its beyond comprehension. Dont analyze Gods work as you dont have 1/1000000000000000 (less than that...) of his capacity.
