God moves in mysterious ways

When god sits by and watches millions of children die of awful diseases and we are told that his divine will is unknowerble (is that a word? It is now), we are told to conclude that we cannot know the will of god.Could we then also conclude (in our mortal ignorance) that when we see a child saved from death by fate, that god has done this because of reasons that we cannot understand and those reason could be cruel, evil and callous in nature.Say if a child dies because god wants the mother to learn something, could he save a child because he plans for some terrible fate to befall humanity as a result of that childs life?Could we conclude that any "good" act by god could (just could) be dark in intent as we can never know his will?

Hi, Larni. This topic is being explored, I suppose in a philosophical context in some of our other threads. Could you narrow this to a more specific question?

Yah, Ive just seen two that are pretty similar.....dont'cha just hate it when you have an idea and thinks it's pretty cool and then see others were way ahead of you? Will make more of an attempt to look for threads before I post again.

Try using the "search" function; it actually works reasonably well.Anyway, I'll take it that you've found existing threads to read where you can post your ideas / respond to similar ideas. So I'll close this one down. Please follow the "Considerations..." link below if you still wanted to pursue this thread.Thanks.
