"God is in charge-his will will be done regardless of desires to the contrary, but time and eternity will show that he knows best, and if we obey his will we will, after all is said and done, and done comprehend the wisdom of his actions."

If God's will will be done regardless of desires to the contrary, what is the point of prayer? By your reasoning, God wanted 6,000 US citizens to be killed on September 11. Saying that it was an evil thing therefore is blasphemy against God's will...

I guess I will never understand Christians. And I was one...

There is a time to live and a time to die-no one lives forever in this mortal form. Babies die. toddlers die, children die, teenagers die, as does people of all ages. 6,000 died in the terrorist attacks at one time, but each died only once and in that way 9-11-01 was no different from any other day. Why turn on God because more than expected died in one place on that day?

I don't know enough about God or eternity to even pretend to claim the wisdom to answer your questions. I can only respect the fact that you were interested enough to ask it. It is unlikely, in my opinion that many of us will ever in this temporal existance, even come close to seeing things through the eyes of our God, who judges, blesses, condemns, rewards, punishes, and exists in a realm that we cannot understand.

In my mind at least, the existance of God is obviuous, as I observe my surroundings upon this earth,I have not a doubt that GOD created- only a complete fool would pretend that all we live among and our selves as well, happened all by accident. Sanity tells us that God did create, and he has the wisdom and expertice to complete his creation. THe very fact that we dare argue with our creator, question the events he allows in our lives, is all the testament we need or deerve to his mercy, love, and patience. God is love and the fact that we still live to question it, is the guarantee thereof.
