Does GOD Kill People?
In the movie “Heaven Is For Real” based on the true story of
the Burpo family at a pungent moment when Pastor Todd Burpo realizes his lack
of ability in ministering to the needs of one of his parishioners; he is with
one of the main non-family members of the church, a single mother whose only
son was killed in the war; as they sit together in the cemetery she asks him, “Why
would GOD give you your son back and take mine away?”
This is one of the issues that the Church has today, that we
believe and teach that GOD kills people! If GOD does not save a person’s life
who is dying for any reason than GOD is in affect killing them. After all if
GOD is good and loves everybody why does He let people die? Why do people not
live out their life until they’re old and ready to die?
The woman in this true story believed that GOD allowed her
son; raised a Christian, serving his country to die in the war instead of
saving his life, that GOD took her son away as quoted in the story.
GOD DOES NOT KILL PEOPLE; most of the time; there are instances
in the scriptures where He brings judgment on a person of such corrupt evil that
GOD cannot allow them to live any longer.
We say and hear people say things like, “They’re in a better
place now.” “GOD needed them more than we did.” “GOD only takes the good people.”
These sayings do not help a person grieving the loss of a loved one and two of
them are lies.
From conception to the time appointed by GOD when He wrote
out the days of our lives bad things will happen to us and many in life are
injured, maimed and killed but not by GOD. The evil things that happen to
people are caused by the devil through the evil works of other humans, it’s
called sin.
GOD IS LOVE and He does not kill us! He wrote out the days
of our lives before any of them existed and His plans for us were good not evil
then He redeemed us through Jesus Christ and called us to serve in His eternal
Kingdom. Why then would He kill us before we could fulfill His plan for us?
Study Psalms 139; Jeremiah 29:11-13; John 3:16-21; Mark
16:15-19
