I was thinking and a thought came to me "In the old times God killed entire nations.This inculed children.What did the children do?They had no choice.They suffer for their parents.If God is so just then why did he not keep the children alive and have them grow up in Israle?" Can any one restore my faith?
A New and Living Way! A Way of Receiving rather than thinking! The Messiah can "restore your faith"! Consider His teachings and Life example! Look to Him alone! as for your concern, there are many who believe that innocent children who die before "the age of accountibility" have their place in Our Father's Heavenly Kingdom. am i to question The Only True GOD, Father of ALL? today, consider the muslin children, and other children of this world....... such a wicked, evil, and perverse world they live in....... they are taught to hate, kill, war,,,,,,,, now what of them when they reach adulthood? and israel of old? would have done no good for the children to be raised in israel for they were a "stiffnecked and disobedient" people. and physical israel of today? naught but "strong delusion"....... and "christianity" ='s confusion....... "set your affections on things above", "forgetting those things that are behind you"....... press onward and upward! and cry to Our Father for Help! for HE does help....... and be not of those who "The Creator will destroy because they destroy His Creation"....... receive of Our Father, receive a "Lively, Living Hope"! while there is breath(spirit) there is hope! peace, even as war rages....... francisco http://ASpiritualJourney.Org
God is a spirit; He is not interested in the flesh: that is man's hang up. (God put Adam and Eve in a garden, but He never promised them a rose garden.)
It was once explained to me (by cabdizzaraq I believe) like this: It is not that God's will is for these children to suffer; God wants there to be no suffering. However, the consequences of evil are unjust, and even though the child has done nothing wrong, other people's sins may cause the child suffering. This idea can be highly related to the Buddhist idea of karma (and NOT karma as in "what goes around comes around"). It also ties in with the idea of the "refiner's fire," where experiencing evil is part of the grand scheme, in a sense. To be truly good and to truly appreciate goodness, one must experience evil to understand and appreciate why good is better than evil. Otherwise, they are just two words in a language that convey no meanings. And although a person suffers, they differentiate between good and evil, and become a greater good than they would have been had they not experienced that evil.
