” If God does not protect the good , and does not punish the wicked , then it is irrelevant if God is Good “
Dennis Prager
I would like to know where God is during anti Christian attrocities such as this ?
God is waiting on the righteous to avenge the suffering of his flock at the hands of the wicked
It ain’t complicated
Even children know how this worked where and when I was raised
The leaders of western civilization once knew quite well how to deal with Islam and the consequence of failing to do so
It’s on us Leo.....God will support us if we have the will
He is right there, on the cross.
Remember that we are eternal beings, currently stationed within a tiny-yet-critical phase of existence that we know of as 'Time'.
God entered Time and Space in order to destroy Sin. If He hadn't, then we would all be facing an eternity separated from Him.
But now we have the dizzying prospect of eternal life with God in heaven. All we have to do is to take up our own cross and follow Him.
ISIS are demonic, but here they are simply speaking the unvarnished truth.
'If You Love Jesus, you Will Die Like Jesus'
The corollary (that ISIS aren't telling us) is:
'If You Love Jesus, you Will Rise Like Jesus'
Bingo
Your comment is what many of the prophets have asked. It is difficult to see God's plan in all of this. But suffice it to say that the 80 years or so that we spend on this earth is a small drop in the ocean of eternity. Ten thousand years from now, these people will only have started eternal torment while this dear Christian will only be starting to enjoy the fruits of heaven. You can bank on that.
This life is a dress rehearsal for eternity...and God is sitting in the first row and taking score.
Dennis Prager
And god does and He will.
Just not on our time frame and according to our demands.
God knows how He should act. We don't.
So, God only exists in high times? Or does God only exist when men are all good? Sounds like liberal utopia. God exists despite what men do. If God were anything less, if men’s actions ruled Him, then God would simply be man. If you read the headlines it looks like Christians are losing, but if you look a little deeper, there are places of revival, even there. Perhaps a purge of Barbie Christians. Churches that are growing are preaching the tough love of God.
Not too smart to question God’s plan or intentions. God does not make evil happen. Satan walks this earth and until the Rapture, evil will happen.
“I would like to know where God is during anti Christian attrocities such as this ?”
Same old saw. Why does God allow this to happen?
“The Bible teaches that Satan is the author of sin. Sin is the reason that we have afflictions, including death. All of our problems and our suffering, including death itself, are a result of man’s rebellion against God. But God has provided a rescue in the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ. That’s why Christ died on the cross. That’s why He rose from the dead.”
Billy Graham
First Corinthians 13:12 says, “Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.”
“‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,’ says the Lord. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts’” (Isaiah 55:8–9).

He is on His throne in heaven.
Shakes your faith, doesn’t it.
