This group is exactly what the name implies. A group for people who are Christians. If you're a Christian then please join us. We're a place on ModDB for Christians to gather and talk. It's as simple as that.
Earlier today there was a terror attack in Brussels. 31 killed, an additional 180 wounded by the bombings that took place.
There's a thought likely traveling through your minds here of why a sovereign God would allow such to happen. The answer, is individuality.
God does not control our decisions, simply because he chooses not to. To violate that, would be to violate our free will. Something, God will not do. He can however, interfere with our choices. Which he has done in the past and continues to do to this day. So why not here?
Because there's a reason behind everything God permits. When it came to the persecution the Jews suffered in World War II, it lead to the United Nations creating the state of Israel after the war. Given virtually all countries who found out what had happened felt such guilt over it, even the Soviet Union. And, if you remember your Bible prophecy, Israel had to come about as a nation again in the future. Because of what happened, Israel is now a nation again.
God, doesn't senselessly allow such atrocity to happen without purpose. Does this mean he sanctions it? No, God merely know through foreknowledge what will happen in the future. And he uses it to see to his agenda between his own meddling and agents. We ourselves, mankind, provide the instances for which he has to work with. It wasn't God that planned the holocaust, it was a man named Adolf Hitler. God merely used the situation to bring some good out afterwards being the re-institution of the state of Israel.
In the end, I merely ask you remember if you've made yourself right with Christ, God. That you've nothing to fear from death.
Just because these things happen, doesn't mean God won't be there for you. Keep the faith.
- Joshua Brisco
The world is in the hands of Satan, it is his time, that is why these things happen and God doesnt intervene. He also gave humans free will, so, when humanity decided that they wanted to stray away from God, He just let them have a taste of what ruling themselves would be like.
However, both the rule of Man and that of the Devil is ending, soon the Lord will take command again.
I agree, however I would say God has intervened in the lives of believers and aiding us in our efforts while in his service. This, I know from personal experience.
But, in the general term as you speak. You are right, he typically does not interfere in the doings of the world. Because the world knows not of God and cares not for what he has to say. For them, it's always just business as usual in their own wisdom.
If he did intervene, I doubt they would ever realize it. And only a few believers paying attention as well as God himself would ever guess it was God's doing.
Time is almost up. However, one thing we should keep in mind is that means until that moment things will continue to get darker around here. Storm's coming, it thunders.
Looking to Christ, is one's only escape from such anxiety.
Numbres now: 34 deads 230 wounded..
As a Belgian.. The only thing I think is: F*CK IS..
Now Belgium will unleash the power they hide. Isis always picks the wrong countries to screw with
Hurray! Another fantastic example for the government to use so that they can sit in our bathroom while we're showering... you know just in case we are plotting something while in the shower. RIP privacy, I'll certainly miss it :(
Now don't get me wrong this is terrible and all but we can't allow this be a catalyst that allows us to be stripped off our rights and freedoms.
I don't in any way disagree with you.
I find it questionable however that such will matter anymore when the war drums of the world beat louder. As this chapter of our sad and tragic history finally comes to a close.
