I was talking to someone today about one of our customer's that died of cancer the other week. And it made me want to bring up this question. That I have often asked but don't think I have ever heard answered to my satisfaction.
This person made the statement about the one who died (I have heard many Christians use it)
"Well it was God's Will"
Now wait just a second here this is where all kinds of red lights go off for me time and time again.
"The wages of sin is death" So how is the death of a person, the loss of another persons loved one the pain that someone is put through from losing another..... How is any of that God's will?
It is my contention that it is never God's will that someone die.
Anyone is free to offer their opinion on this subject. But I already have heard the standard christian tag line........ "They are only dead in body if they are saved they have been given life." or something close to that.
Can you tell we are having a slow afternoon?
Everyone have a good weekend
Dan

Dan this is the same Death that Adam and Eve encountered in the Garden of Eden. Not a physical death but a separation from God. Saying that something is God's will is also saying that we are not in control and that we have to trust in God to know what is really best. I have witnessed some really bad things that have turned into more blessings than one could imagine.
Thank you for the post :) I would agree that we are NOT in control thas for sure. We are in control of how we react to things is what we are in control of I guess.
