RE: If there is a God, why do so many bad things happen? @ecotrain Question Of The Week
Every bad thing that happens is as a result of our actions and we must learn to bear the consequences of our actions so let's try to take some responsibility shall we. God is not supposed to just go around cleaning our mess as we make them. If you are a good parent, you will not just spoil any child of yours by covering up his wrongs as if nothing happened but rather you teach him to take full responsibility of his actions. God is the best of parents and he wants the best for us. I think i have talked about this issue here

This is excatly what I struggle with here with the concept of every bad thing is a consequence of our actions - of our own personal action, or human kinds actions? How can we say that illness, or life changing accidents are a result of our actions?
Our questions and all that we don't understand can only be answered by one. Why did this happen, why did i have to go through this?? All these questions can only be answered by God because at the end of the day he is the one that has designed everything and life is just one big grand plan of his. So how do you draw closer to him, to understand him and to get these answers when people will rather believer that he does not exist?
All i am saying is, only God can help you out with your struggles in finding the answers you need.
That is why he is God and knows all the answers.
A little tip i can give you on the issue is the bible in Jn10:10 talks of someone whose sole mission is to steal, kill and destroy and that he will do if you let him.
