SYN,
You are distorting what I said. Never did I say I believe it was Gods intent or responsibilty to prevent the destruction at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That is obvous as he allowed it to happen. I said God did then as he most always does limits the scope of disasters. This is never an obligation but is always a act of love.
Judging God for the things he allows us to suffer is the exact folly that prolonged Jobs suffering and got him severely chastized. Our perspective of earthly life prevents us from seeing the bigger picture.
It makes us super sensitive about physial death. This life is not all there is. It is but a University (school of hard knocks) where we receive valuable training for our everlasting existence as spirit creatures.
Our earthly lives are individual roles for our spirit selves (souls) to play to build a career accomplishment for ourselves for the time all the souls will be judged.
When we create a computer game like PACman (Planned and Created) we incorporate the potential for good and bad things to happen.
How well PACman interactively scores in te game depends how well he conforms to the laws of God all which are invisible, spirit things. Just as in a PACman game I already explained but you choose to ignore physical death is not what it is to God as it is to man himself. God is all powerful.
He has the power of life and death. It is not the individual plays (lives) of the soul that does not die with the physical body that counts. It is the final score he will be judged by at judgement day and whether he will ever incur the death of the soul (the 2nd death). The death of something that is inherently immortal is like an oxymoron in that you cant destroy something that cannot die.
This is precisely why those said to be imposed spiritual death are said to be cast into the lake of fire and evelastingly tormented there. Spiritual death is not destruction but symbolic of seperation from the love of God.
How do I know all this. Something from God told me so.
Zechariah
