Feeling really down and out about this

[Life2Christ]

Wanted to hear from the mature crowd about this. My mind has been occupied for the past 48 hours about the NYC nanny killings. I can't seem to think of little else and my spirit is very unsettled. I know all the theological arguments about good and evil and I know God is mourning with us and I know God gives us freedom of choice. I just don't know why God could'nt stop this from happening. Don't get me wrong I'm not questioning my faith but I'm so disturbed about this. Can u tell me something to make me feel less disturbed?

I haven't had time to pay attention to the news lately. However, God could have prevented every death that has happened from the dawn of time...but mostly, we live in a world of sin complete with death of all types and are allowed to. However, you have to remember that although from a human aspect, death is something horrible...to God it isn't. Death is only horrible if you don't know God. For those that do, death is "graduation day". And honestly, death is so complete that there is not really one death that is more horrific than another...it is only traumatic to those left behind.

((hugs)) and I am sorry that this is weighing so heavy on your heart. I will google it and educate myself.

hugz for you Life ....

I don't have a good answer to what God allows some of these things. I know your response of compassion is one of the things God wants to see from us.
