Why does god let this happen?
Posted by adminNov 30
I keep hearing “everyrhing happens for a reason for gods plan”. This may sound confusing…..my husbands sister lost her father 3 days ago to a heart attack. The next day my husbands uncles house burned to the ground losing EVERYTHING. Including 3 dogs. my husbands 7 yr old nephew ( husbands uncles grandson)accidently caused the fire. This morning the 7 yr olds father (husbands cousin) was found dead in his sleep. Most likely everyone is suspecting he overdosed on cocaine. I know it was wrong of him and his fault but he left behind his little boy and wife….to no home to go to since his parents house was burned down. Why would god allow so much tragedy and heartache w in 4 days. His family is devastated. They lost their faith and now I feel the only sane person to help them out. I dont know what to do. We live in ga and are flying out to texas at 3am

There is no God and there is no plan. Shit happens.

Well if everything is part of God’s plan.. Then so was the Holocaust, every single war, Haiti’s earthquake, Japan’s earthquake… God probably doesn’t exist.

Quit listening to what those people are saying. God doesnt plan peoples deaths

Yes, and look at Japan. If there was a god, an all loving father as so many christians claim, why would he let so many innocent people die and suffer?

God never gives us more than we can handle. Of course no one wants these things to happen, but people ask this question everyday. Evil is on Earth because of sin. Because of sin we have death.
No one can blame God for allowing things to happen. He is our creator and he knows what he is doing. You have to have faith in that fact. Every single situation that is given to us can be used to glorify His name, and it should be used to glorify His name.
I will pray that you make some good progress with helping them cope and being a light in their lives because it sounds like they really need it. Keep your faith in Jesus.

They lost their faith because they realized that a loving god would not do these things. Being brutally honest is one of my favorite abilities.
If there is a god, he is far from loving. He would have to hate humanity, or at the very least not care one way or another for them
Where as if you think about the possibility that god is a figment of humanities desperate imagination, it makes sense that the non existent would let this happen.

He allows these things to happen so you can glorify his name since he is an insecure God who requires contant adulation.
