Why does God allow miscarriage

[mindlight]

Why would God allow a Christian couple to experience a miscarriage. I am aware of all the medical reasons cited for miscarriage but it seems to me that God is Master of the natural world so these things need not have been.

I fully believe that God is good and that he desire to give good things to his children. So what stops him in the case of a Christian miscarriage.

These people are not perfect but hardly the worst of sinners - we all live in his grace surely.

Does a miscarried child in some sense pay for the sins of its parents. Does God allow this to better prepare Christian couples for parenting. Does God stop a child being born because the child itself sins or because it woudl grow up into something horrible.

I believe and trust that God is in charge of this universe so there is always a reason for why something happens. Does God alwys share that reason with people who go through things like this. have people had similar situtaions to this one - how did they come to understand what happened in these situations.

Your question is basically a version of "Why is there death?" The original sin of Adam and Eve created death, and so it comes in many forms. God did try to stop it, he told them to not eat from the tree. It was we who asked for it, we brought it upon ourselves.

Hi,

My heart goes out to your friends and to you as you also anquish over such a sad event.

God has not given us all the answers yet. I don't know if we will find out everything, but we don't yet know why things happen.

Luke 13: 1-5
1Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them -- do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

Jesus is talking about repentance to eternal life. You can see from that scripture that Jesus is saying these things that happened was not due to their own guilt.

Job is another example in the bible. Terrible things happened to him but it was not because of things he had done.

Surely Jesus cried and ached with your friends when the baby died in the miscarriage.

May they find comfort in Christ, and trust Him to know that God never does wrong or evil. May Christ hold them in His arms. May they feel wholly loved, and know that their baby is with the King of Kings, the lover of our souls.

God Bless You!

No I understand that all must die because we all share in Adams sin. All of us all have our appointed time and none of us except Christ die innocent. I am wondering at the reasoning for the appointed time I suppose.

This is more like it and I love that quote you gave. We have a responsibility to get ourselves right with God and there is a sentence of death hanging over us all which should give us a bit of an incentive for that. Maybe it is less important to speculate about why things like this happen than to be right with God. I must admit though I still want to know , it is in my nature to ask. It is however comforting to know that people will pray for you in situations as terrible as this and that God is with His children at all times. And as you say some times , as in the case of Job, these things happen for higher reasons than we can see when we are caught up in these situations. Yet when God reveals himself in all His glory all our worst pains are put into the startling new perspective of a relationship with the living God, the Creator of the Heavens and the earth.
