    -I asked this question in a previous forum post and didn't get any responses. I shall try again. lol


    -Why would God use divine intervention to write/influence the bible and not use divine intervention to save innocents from dying?

            AEvans, thanks for posting that. Very sad. Many unanswered questions in life. If something was truly divine, I think it should explain everything instead of some things. I don't think the divine would cover the minor things and leave out the important questions in life.

        Should we be perfect and listen to the divine intervention we would not have this suffering.
        But no, we will be stubborn and live our lives the way we chose. God gave us free will and he won’t take it back. When we ask God to come into our lives; at the point where we realise we cannot attain holiness by ourselves, then and only then is there a life changing moment. Should the whole world do it? We would have a world of people that are loving, kind, caring, and unselfish. We would all be trying to make the world a better place, but with Jesus directing us.
        God cannot interfere, when people use their freewill to make the world the place the way it is.

      God has given as choice for He is a loving God, He don't want to impose any sect of religion on us, we have to choose from good and evil, is a choice .And God has already saved us from the dungeons of the enemy if only we could receive him(Jesus) into our heart.

        lol This is hardly an answer to my question.


        Does accepting Jesus keep innocents from dying? No. Why is there divine intervention to accept Jesus, but not keep innocents from dying?

        I expect another beat around the bush. Thanks for trying.

      I think God would use divine intervention in writing the bible, but not in saving the innocent because the bible itself is meant to be a divine collection of text. It is written to help us make decisions but doesn't directly affect the natural order of things.

      Saving the innocent, I think would affect the natural order of things.

      Besides I believe a death of someone truely innocent and of someone who has a true faith in God should be celebrated. This world that we live in can be a hard and unforgiving world. When you go home to the lord and step into his eternal light this world becomes nothing.

      I think that we let the loss of an innocent person affect us for very selfish reasons. Don't get me wrong I don't believe we do it on purpose. It's just something we do naturally. I think we do this because when someone dies thy take a part of us with them.

      We interact with all individuals differently and therefore that part of us has died when someone has passed on.

      When someone innocent passes I think it is a blessing and not something meant to hurt us, for there is nothing to be missed when leaving this world only to be gained in the next.

        Very huge error. There have been countless wars and innocent deaths for disagreements over the bible, faith, God.

                It is only relieving to those that die. It's not very relieving to those left behind. It ruins many lives when they can't understand why an innocent loved one died for no given reason. Did your enlightenment not see that?

                  But the time apart is only for a season. I know it seems much longer but it really isn't.
                  I know that pain.
                  I know that hurt.
                  But I also know the joy I feel when I think about the reunion. I know the peace I feel when I think about the pain being gone, the tears being gone. The joy and laughter they are experiencing with God.
                  How amazing that all must be. How can one even put it into words?
                  Being in the arms of our creator. Wow. The human mind cannot even fathom it.
                  And yet our innocent ones are experiencing it. That is really amazing when you think about it.
                  How special is that? How rewarding as a parent to know your child will never have to face fear. Will never again have to deal with pain or illness. That child is living and breathing an everlasting life of peace and comfort, of joy and laughter, no not just joy, extreme joy and extreme laughter from extreme happiness!
                  Is there any comfort in that? I think there can be.

                    No. Rewarding, as a parent, is seeing your child face fear and conquer it, and make his/her way as an adult in this world. There is nothing rewarding in the death of your first-born.
                    So you say. But you don't know. And the chances are that you are mistaken.

                    How rewarding that your child will never have to face fear? Facing fear builds strength. Facing a fear is a life experience that completes a person's character.
                    How rewarding is it when you put your child in the ground? There is no reward for that.  You've got something wrong with you if you are celebrating the death of a child.

      I believe He does just not always in the way we would think.
      Sometimes God intervenes by taking someone home to be with Him.

      It is so very difficult when losing a child, and that is an understatement.
      But there is hope and and peace in knowing that they are in the most capable hands any of us could ever imagine.

      Suffering comes from life in this world of sin. Sin, not those that sin, but sin itself is an infectious plague. Its symptoms vary and can be found on anyone. These symptoms are suffering, illness, death. Not that any of us deserve this, but it is that sin knows no bounds here on this earth and thus its symptoms spread to yes even the innocents of the world.
      God removes the suffering, relieves the pain by taking them home to be with Him.

      Now we come to why it is that sometimes we see children suffering with diseases like cancer and others and why God does not stop that from happening.

      This is a more difficult question to answer. But I will try. For one I think it is because that as a result of sin bringing with it suffering and illness, disease is another one of those that was brought.
      It infested our planet as satan uses it to attack the body of Christ as well as the body of unbelievers.
      Lying to people about it. Deceiving people into believing that God is unloving because He allows it.

      But I think God reasons, if He destroys all that is evil, that would include all of mankind. Someday, I believe this is exactly what is in Gods plan.
      To end all the suffering and sin God will destroy it.
      Not that He intends to destroy all of us like we never existed. But to draw man into judgement and reward.

      In showing man the horrors of what sin has done to this world through the eyes of His most innocent in it, God beckons the world to turn away from it. The world has refused.
      So God allows it to run its natural course.

      Not that God should want for any innocent to die so horribly. But we can see where God is very understanding and sympathetic to the parents of these children. As He was a parent of an innocent who was brutally murdered in this world of sin.
      And just as God had a plan and purpose for this evil to be turned around for good, so too is it that the evil these innocents have be shown and endured will be in Gods ultimate plan for the good that is to come.

      Thats what I believe anyway. smile

          atomswifeyposted 15 years agoin reply to this

          No that is not what I said.

          God does allow it for that reason along with many others. His plan and purpose is to end it all.
          And He will.
          God allows it because to destroy all suffering, all sin, He will have to destroy all of us. One day and that day is coming He will do that very thing.

          Each day we are given here is a blessing of His control thus far with sin. It is because of His own sons suffering and death that we have these days.

          Look at Gods judgement for sin in the Old Testament.
          God has not changed.
          He hates sin.
          And why? Because of what sin has caused.
          what evilness it brought with it and brings with it.

          Sin is running its natural course. Soon God will put a stop to it. Just as He did in the days of old.
          The flood was just that. Sodom and Gomorrah was just that. And soon we will see Gods Wrath once again unfold as it has to in order to destroy sin. And then we will have our new beginning.
          Those that we love who have been taken up with Him will be reunited with family and friends.

            Why would a divine being need to destroy all for a new beginning? Why wouldn't the divine being only wipe out the bad ones? Then the divine being wouldn't have to start from scratch. Don't you think a divine being would realize this when a divine beings creation realizes this?

              This divine being created everything perfect.
              Man had a choice in two trees
              One for life eternally with all that is perfect forever. orrrrr,
              the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
              Man lusted after that knowledge and accepted the consequence of not living forever in all that perfection.

              Sin took its course.

              God divinely intervened and took upon Himself the sins of the world.
              Thus making a way for man to once again have that choice.
              Man sometimes chooses life, sometimes chooses death. Sin still runs its natural course.

              This in no way pleases God.

              God will destroy it all.
              God will start a new
              With all those who have chosen life.

              do you destroy a garden over grown with weeds?

              Would you plant a new garden with fresh seed?

              God will refresh His garden with fresh seed after he plucks out all the weeds.

      First of all there is no evidence of divine intervention.There is no way one can prove anything about divine intervention unless if one simply accept the fact that there was a divine intervention.Secondly, if I accept the fact about divine intervention about the writing of bible then perhaps sending the message of god to us was the one and only purpose.I think time has come to think more about that if there were really any divine intervention.

        The only question of divine intervention is why we humans have conscioous/subconscious thought with ability to teach/pass it to future generations while no other known animal life has this ability. Why do we need and want to know why to live when other animals are simply content with life.

          It's our consciousness and the power of logical reasoning what bug us the most about some questions which has no answer and i can confidently say that  no one will ever find any answer about divine intervention.No other animals have the power of self respect and more over we have a suspicious mind that's why we always try to find evidence to support our point of views.Actually no one want to see that his believe system is getting shattered no matter if you are a believer or non-believer.

      First, I would ask what is your definition of an innocent?  There are examples in the BIBLE; which I won't quote unless you really want me to, where GOD said he would curse generations.

      Second, how do you know he doesn't use divine intervention all the time?  There are plenty of people who say they have been saved as a direct result of GOD's intervention.

      Maybe your human definition of innocents, aren't GOD's definition of innocents.

      Lastly, the word of GOD can't even be compared to "innocents."  He used divine intervention in the BIBLE, because that is how he wanted the word of GOD portrayed.  The BIBLE gives many examples of human disobedience, even by those of the strongest faith (The cock will crow 3 times before sunrise, Judas etc..)The fact is GOD sent his only son Jesus to die for our sins.  Jesus went around and told everybody what he was here to do, and to have faith that everything would be ok.  He also let them know the rules that they were to abide by, and that all Christians would suffer in human form, but would be rewarded in his father's kingdom if they kept their faith.

      So, the short answer is depending on your faith divine intervention does or does not happen.

      There is no such thing as Divine Intervention.  This is a concept that was made-up by the Catholic Church fathers in order to get the blind sheep to believe everything in the bible and eliminate all doubt.  If a Gawd intervened in the writing of the bible he’s pretty dumb.  There wouldn’t be in scientific errors and other mistake. 

      The Five oldest bibles on the planet are totally different than the ones used today.  A side-by-side comparison has shown that there are many interpolations and also removed texts.  A good example is Mark the 16th chapter.  The oldest copies of Mark end at the 8th verse and the modern day bibles end at the 20th verse which is an indication that 12 verses were added at a later date.

          I believe that God uses divine intervention to redirect mankind toward HIS purpose for  mankind.
          He does not interveign only for the selfish wants and or needs of the individual. Can if he wants to but his main goal is to reach the end as he has designed. Which is for the better good of the majority.

            Just like a religious mind, fumble around a question you don't have answers for until you think of an "interpretations" in your entrapped mind.


            I'm looking for an answer with logic. There is obviously no logic in any of the answers I have received. I believe the logical, not the irrational.

      The question doesn't make much sense from either the theist or atheist standpoint. Why would the atheist ask such a question since he does not believe in God (unless it's another cheap attempt to entrap believers in one of those "where did Cain get his wife" questions)?

      And why would a theist ask such a question? For the theist, the answer is "God has a sufficient reason for the use of divine intervention in some cases, but not others." The biblical analogy of such a question is the clay arguing with the potter, saying "why have you made me this way"?

                The answer is really tOOooo simple to comprehend.

                If your lifestyle is under the umbrella of Gods
            protection, then he interveins very often.
                If your life style is out side the umbrella of his protection then he does not intervein as often

               He also knows when his intervertion will change nothing.

      God is managing us in different ways and as far as our understanding goes it looks like He aims at making us more concious. We cannot fully understand the ways of God because of the differences in the magnitude of the minds between us and God. But as far as we understand we cannot expect God to act as per our wish or our version of rights and wrongs. He is the king and He decides the rules. All we can see is the general trend of action of the superior mind over us and it appears to be in our favor. Therefore it would be reasonable to continue our quest to understand Him more and choose to be in alignment of His thoughts like a son towards his father.

        missed you too
        I had my 16 year old at the ER with an upper respiratory infection and bronchitis. Yuck! lol
        Hes ok smile

        I almost lost him too at just a few days old. See, I know not everyone will believe this, but it is so true!
        I have heard, like not just in my head, but in my ears, God's voice!
        And I mean to tell you, He is very real!

        The first time I heard this was when my 16 year old, at the time he was a few days old had to be air lifted to another hospital because his platelette count was dangerously low.
        Just by touching him he could have started to bleed to death!

        I was in hysterics! I told God flat out, you take him, take me too or I'm coming anyway.

        On the way while the flight crew had him, me and my friend and her husband drove.
        They wouldn't let me on the flight, too many people as was. They even had the doctor fly in with them to get him!

        Ok, so here we are in the car and I am sobbing, I mean sobbing like I had never sobbed before. I was in the backseat all alone. Ok so I am sobbing and praying and praying and sobbing.
        All of sudden I heard this male voice and I mean LOUD
        and it said,.
        my daughter, your faith will heal your son!
        three times He said this to me. And I mean, he said it! Not oh you think you heard something, or you had this thought... NO! I heard it!

        ok, so after the first time, I got kinda quiet, I was a little frightened at first really. lol I mean its not everyday you hear something like that right?
        Ok so then when I heard it again, I had already stopped sobbing and knew who it was that had said it.

        Now these friends I was with, were not believers at all! (Bear) that was the nickname of my friends husband was real heavy into cocaine and other drugs. My friend, was real heavy into other things of the world as was I. I had a background in faith, but the two of them.
        lol
        OK my friends mom is a lesbian and atheist. My friends dad was in prison for dealing crack and he too did not believe.
        Bear had no upbringing in faith either. I am telling you this so you don't get the idea that they had somehow done this.

        Ok so here I am in the backseat and I look up front and Bear is looking at my friend and talking about I don't know what and then all of a sudden I hear him say, look back there, she stopped crying, is she alright?!
        My friend did and saw just sitting there, not a tear with a smile on my face.

        She looked at me really weird like and said, uhm, are you uh, ok? For a minute I didn't say anything and then I just said softly, yep and nodded my head.

        They asked me in the elevator on the way up what happened?
        I told them only that I prayed.
        It wasn't until days later that I confided in my friend about all that happened.

        Oh!! And btw, my son is 16 now and plays football for his highschool!

            He favored the other in granting me time with him here!
            He saved them both!
            My 16 year old is a living breathing testimony of Gods Awesome power!
            He walks and talks the faith my dear! He's saved!
            My other was not at the age of accountability. He is saved too!
            He is with God, in the Lords hands!
            So I count both as saved and bought with the blood of Jesus and favored as such!

    Divine intervention...

    Science is a strange concept. Atheists love it because it gives logical reason to being and matter. Theists like it but are more open minded to parascience or to paranormal phenomena which seems to always push the limits of logical sciences.

    Divine intervention raises a lot of questions such has -

    Are we humans all freaks of nature trying hard to be normal according to known laws of science or are we all avoiding the true nature of being which can only be explained in accordance to the pseudoscience fields which try to explain things that happen when matter meets anti matter or when the sixth sense kicks in.

    Dark matter is the quintessential element and it is the stuff of the ethereal which even Plato and others concerned themselves with. Why did they keep it so secretive ?

    Why would God use divine intervention ?

    Because we can't....or maybe we can through prayer and meditation but yet we don't.

    My question really is whether or science is magick.

    We know that through controlled chemistry and the application of formulas that we can produce certain things. It has built all the man made stuff that we have. So in a sense science is magick. But is there magick in parascience.

    I've played with a Ouija board once and I know there is magick in the paranormal. I'll never go there again.

    If the question "Why would God use divine intervention?" was meant to draw a different type of answer such as -

    To cure the ill - to bring me luck - to save my dog - etc...

    Then I guess I missed the boat again...

    Heck by this point I've missed the boat so often it doesn't even stop at this port anymore.

    Sort of the same story with God.

    I've missed the point of the magic so often he's gone on to better fishing grounds.

    I believe in devine intervention. For example, last week, when the Patriots were losing the game up until the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, Then Tom Brady steppped up to the line and drove his team to within one score of winning, but they needed a miracle to get the ball back, with only 2 minutes remaining.  So God intervened, and caused the punt returner to drop the ball. The Patriots went on to win by 1 point.

            I choose the path of sanity and logic. A path you haven't discovered through your enlightened prophecies.

              Strange that you are ignorant that the very word logic is taken from the Greek word "LOGOS" which is the term for WORD that is found in

              John 1:1
              In the beginning was the LOGIC (WORD) and the LOGIC (WORD) was with GOD and the LOGIC (WORD) was GOD.  big_smile

              THE LOGIC IS GOD and HIS LOGIC is infinite, so I will be interested in what HE has to say and HIS LOGIC long before I ever ask you.

              The mind of a man cannot comprehend all of the vast LOGIC of GOD and you find it foolishness because you do not understand THE LOGIC.

                You do not understand that everyone has a different logic. This is too complex for your simple religious mind. I notice you didn't quote "John" using the word "sanity". Maybe because he had none like yourself.

                It takes very little logic to see that a hateful imagined  entity is not a god! lol

                  It really amazes me that people think religion and the bible are to define a divine creator.

                  The bible and religions purpose is simply for control. They have nothing to do with a creator.

                  The believer refuses to see this. They will only believe what they want to believe.

                  There is no logic to be found in a closed belief.

                    Ramen to that!

                    Having been bought up with a religious mother, I was a sitting duck for religion when in my early twenties.
                    I got over it. Without prior indoctrination I would never have got involved in the first place, but it did give me a strong interest in finding out about the human condition leading to an interest in what really does offer change, such as brain chemistry and psychology. Religious fundamentalists are unwell. smile

                  The easy way out is to believe a divine being is looking out for your every move.


                  Reality is knowing the truth of the bible and religion and learning to depend on yourself without relying on "faith" to make your life decisions.


                  Reality is much harder. I would much rather be ignorant and trapped in belief. Maybe I would be happier then.


                  Ignorance is bliss.

                  What would God say about that? He favors and chooses to speak to you and make you a prophet and you don't do or say anything divine.

         And if you do ever do that I would sudgest that ya start building your belief system on the ground floor. Foundation of a CHRISTians belief system should be what Christ said.  then add to this what his students added to that. Does that make sence???
