Comments on: How Can the Slaughter of Children be Considered ‘Good Providence’ if God is in Control? http://sententias.org/2012/12/15/good-providence/ Dialogues concerning philosophy, theology, and science.

But what you may be referring to is in paragraph two. Where he states his opinion on the fact of, “suffering.” Which is the only thing i consider punishment. But even then he does not refer to that as punishment, but merely as God’s prerogative.

I was impacted in some interesting ways during the Columbine Shootings and Pastors andTeachers made the bizarre proclamation that the it was the Lord’s will for Eric nd Dillan to massacre for the purpose of being able to preach the Word again back in the school system. A great deal of evangelism occurred in the months that followed but I would never proclaim that God’s original plan was to use violence to preach in Colorful Colorado.

The US is reaping the foolishness of catering to secularism when this nation was originally bound by divine providence.

As my eldest daughter recently proclaimed, children are our hope and future. We must teach them to love and trust in The Lord even when death is all around.

Do not fear the one that can take your body but rather the one that can take your soul.
