     Only to the extent that all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God.

Well, we have.  So it's all our fault?

How God governs all events in the universe without sinning, and without removing responsibility from man, and with compassionate outcomes is mysterious!

The real mystery is how anyone who believes this can also believe God is good. I know too many people who are grieving for those they loved and lost to believe this could possibly be described as a compassionate act except by the most sadistic psychopaths. I wish one of them could explain to one young lady I know who's aunt and only relative was killed in one of the towers how she was the recipient of God's compassionate blessing, or explain to another young women I know, who's grandmother unwillingly made the trip that day and was killed in one of the planes that crashed into the WTO, how much God has blessed her, or to that poor widow whose husband was died in one of the towers, left with her 3 year old daughter and a child she is about to give birth to, how they were blessed by this God who "allows" these things to happen even though it is in His power to prevent them.

It is this very superstitious "faith" that enables people to martyr themselves and murder thousands of others for their good and merciful God, whatever name they give Him.

Which, of course, does not take each and every individual off the hook for personal repentance, turning from their sin, and looking to God.
