“Up on His throne in heaven observing everything and intervening where He knew it was needed. “
Did he ensure that the 19 hijackers made their flights?
Absolutely.
You cannot know the purpose of His plan.
He made sure one missed it and told the story.
There is evil in this world, and God does not stop all of it, not only because he has given us free will, but because, just as in Mark, 14:21, “For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”, there are some evil things that will be done, BECAUSE of the evil in the world. We are not robots. And the world goes as the LORD has predicted it. It gets worse and worse until the end comes. We would not need a Savior, if it were possible that there be no evil.
He allowed it- He allows man to do whatever they wish because that is what free will is- Some will use free will wisely, some like the cowardly scum that did 9/11 attacks abuse free will to the detriment of mankind-
Exactly. This kind of thinking is strange. He gave us Free Will. We aren’t puppets on a string.
And He ensured the 19 are today burning in Hell and will forever with no hope of salvation.
Matthew 5:45 The Lord Jesus speaking of His Father:
He makes His sun rise on people whether they are good or evil. He lets rain fall on them whether they are just or unjust.
God is Perfectly Fair. We are all born the same and bear the same responsibility:
Romans 6 23-24
For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God and can be justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
So....atheist then?
Even with those who are pompous asses.
