Yes it is sad that some people see the survival of one and the death of another as "Gods will". This is due to lack of scripture knowledge. Gods will is that none should perish but come to the knowledge of His Son, Jesus who gives life. One thing you should remember, all people, at one point or another will die, the cause is not the tragedy, it's the fact that you WILL DIE is the tragedy, regardless of the manner. What did the people in the Twin Towers due to deserve death in that manner? The moral of the story in all areas of death is......are you ready to die? It's not a question of if, it's a question of when, my dear friends. When you do die, your spirit will continue, this earthly flesh that you wear is not you, it's just the suit you wear, your spirit is what carries the life of you, that's why none of us ever thinks about dying or thinks we will die. As you can see, what you think and what reality is are two different things.

Tragedy and God's Will
by cultBgone init's utterly amazing to me how religious belief in an omnipotent deity shapes some people's thinking.. one woman whose family missed the air asia flight which crashed stated that it was god's will to give her father hepatitis so that she canceled her family's vacation trip on that flight.
she says she believes god saved her family and protected them.
however, she later mourns the fact that she lost friends on the flight...so does she believe god deliberately planned for them to die?
