Remember, I said long-term. On the whole, the larger picture, if you will...God is always in charge. What I am saying is that not everything is His Will. Please do not suggest that I don't know Him. I never suggested that of you.
Jesus cried over Jerusalem because they rejected Him.
The Lord regretted creating man before the flood of Noah because mens hearts were so evil. After the flood, His anger was calmed and He promised never to flood the earth again. (It was not God's Will for men to be so evil).
The Jewish people, thank God, remain a strong people to this day, for God has seen to their survival. It was not HIs Will, however, that they be killed by evil men during WWII.
God is in charge. That does not mean that all things that men do are His Will, and believe me, MEN decided Terri's fate.
"God is in charge. That does not mean that all things that men do are His Will, and believe me, MEN decided Terri's fate."
Men wanted that and God allowed it because He is in control.
"God is in charge. That does not mean that all things that men do are His Will, and believe me, MEN decided Terri's fate."
And since you are a Christian, just Who allowed Christ to be crucified?
Matt. 6:9-15
[9] After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
[10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
[11] Give us this day our daily bread.
[12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
[13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
[14] For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
[15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
