i'm a fireball in bed
Kind off, but not really.Firstly thats a really horrible story, I feel really sorry for the boys parents, they'll never be able to forget
God gave us free will, we are able to do as we please. That means, obviously I can kill you, you can kill me, or we can team up and kill whomever etc etc. It also means that X person can fire a gun randomly into the sky, and the falling bullet
may kill someone, and God will not prevent it, he gave us the free will to do as we please in this life.
God couldn't have given us free will, if he didn't allow us to disobey His laws. So just as having sex out of wedlock is immoral as it is against His word, so is murder, but we can choose to do both. Humans have always been able to choose to disobey Gods law (eg. Adam and Eve).
Now, the idiots with the gun in this case, may not have been trying to kill someone, let alone the poor little boy, but they did, as a result of actions that were certinely avoidable. They have committed murder (not societies definition of murder, but Gods; the killing of another human being).
So, as God allows us to have sex out of wedlock, commit rape, he allows us to kill each other. Humans are not forced to live by Gods law. In fact, they are incapable of it, and will inevitably be tempted to sin every now and then.
Regardless, why should God willingly prevent the death of one of his faithful? When they die, their soul will rise and rejoin him in Heaven.
Have I answered your question?
Come now, the chances of bullet penetrating god's fortresses and actually killing someone from 4km (or is it miles?) away? And yes, why DID god allowed the death of one of his faithful?
God could've still interferred. Like how he did with moses and aaron, vesting them with power to rescue the isralites from egypt (i think... is that right?). Or with the great flood.
