[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2736109, member: 12852"] Not to derail Wes' thread, but this mentality misses a couple of enormous elements of Christian theology that frequently gets overlooked. First of all, God's plan was perfection and did not include sin, disease, or death. His creation was complete without sin, disease, or death. When sin entered the world through man so did death and things that can cause it. The good news is that Christ overcame death. Next, we are eternal beings and that is also God's plan. He's given us free will to screw up earth and our lives in it, but that doesn't mean when we kill people or do hateful things to others it was part of God's plan. Moreover, our lives on earth aren't even a blip on the radar in eternity. It's easy for us to forget that and lose sight of eternity because our years on earth are all we know with first-hand experience, but any suffering here on earth, no matter how excruciating, will be totally forgotten in Heaven or become our greatest memory in Hell. I pray that God brings His peace that passes all understanding to Wes and his family at this time. I also pray for comfort and no more pain. I actually also pray for healing. But if God doesn't make each prayer come true it doesn't mean he didn't hear or answer those prayers. [/QUOTE]
