Manson was "made in the IMAGE of God." So was Hitler.Are the children who die of leukemia possessed by the devil?The Lord loves every person. He is a disciplined parent. When the child does His will, he is rewarded. When the child does not follow instructions, he is punished. There are times when the good child must be forced to face hardship in order to become a productive person. The Lord will 'purify' us like silver; we will endure hardship to eliminate all spiritual impurities. His will is not our will. Let His will be done.
The physical world has hardships. The Lord will not 'prevent' you from dealing with hardships. The older I get, the more I believe that death is to teach the living: we must rely on the Lord, not on men.
Physical death will come to all of us. The 'devil' usually possesses and does horrific acts (look into Charles Manson's eyes and tell me you can't see evil, still). I believe the stress of living a sinful life will harm your physical body.
I do not believe that children that get diseases are possessed or sinful. Their illnesses and deaths are a sad remminder that we have little control over such things. Only thru the Lord will we find 'peace'; that does not mean we will not feel pain or not grieve for those we love.
Praise God.
The illness and dearths of children is proof of the IMPOTENCE of God. They are a sad reminder that God has little control over anything.
