That last reply came out all wrong!! I apologize. I am being disconnected as I read and try to post so my thinking is more agitated than it is focused! In trying to "beat the server" I spoke in haste. Bad form!
So true. The "if it's your time it's your time" statements I have trouble with. I do believe that it is appointed unto man once to die but I also believe that the enemy is stalking us to kill, steal and destroy. There must be careful discernment before one advises another of whether or not their troubles are God's will.
Like the young man's death my father's also brought several to Christ. Some rededicated themselves to Him after a "dead spell". He left this world with a testimony. His own agnostic ENT physicain was saved.
