My Pastor said in his sermon just after the attacks, that God did not let this happen.

In the human heart there is the choice of good and evil

Those that follow God are saved; those that do not are not.

The choice is up to each of us, as are the consequences.

People who chose evil in their hearts attacked us.

He didn't. He gave the hijackers a choice between a life of good or a life of evil. They chose evil.

God niether makes things happen, nor does He prevent them. He leaves that up to humanity, IMHO.

While the exclusion of God and morality as described in the article are undeniably major problems, the idea that Bloody Tuesday was Divine Revenge doesn't fly by me.

Nor is the sh*t state of our country a matter of Punishment: that's just the natural progression of a society without God.

Because Sept 10th had been hanging around for nearly 25 hours.

This is a ridiculous question. Why does God let anything bad happen at all? Why did God allow the Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam to happen? Is every bit of human strife due to God punishing us? What did the Afghan peasants do to deserve a life a pain, suffering, oppression and starvation? Why does a child deserve to grow up in a fly infested poverty-stricken culture? When you can answer these questions and more then you can answer why God let 9/11 happen.

If God did not let this happen as some have asserted then how can he be the God of the Bible? What else happens on this earth that he has no control over? Is the free will of man greater than the power of God? The debate is not whether God let it happen or not. The debate can only be; has God caused it to happen or has it happened only as a result of the free will of man and He has chosen not to restrain that will?

If evil people have more power than God and if their will is greater than God's will then we are all in big trouble. God either caused this or he allowed this. Otherwise we may as well worship the devil as he is obviously more powerful. If God has lost control then he did not let this happen. If he is still in control then we had better look for some answers. We can start by looking at ourselves. Perhaps we are not as righteous as we think we are.

I am not a biblical scholar. I only bring this to your attention because it seems apropro to the question:

According to the Gospel of Luke Chapter 13: (note particularly verse 4)

[1] And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
[2] And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?
[3] No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
[4] Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
[5] No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.

I recall overhearing a reference to these verses in a discussion held by Christians that focused on why God allows tragedy to befall the innocent. The answer addresses those that ask what caused such tragedy and instructs those who look for some explanation. The same is happening with America. For example, a person concluded recently in a speech at Georgetown University that Americans are paying the price for the past. It would appear from the writings above that the person giving that speech should worry first about their own conduct before passing judgement. But then again so should I.

Interesting.

"That His Glory be made manifest."

Works for me.
