Where was God when young children were being abused?

[Josephine2006]

In light of "Holy Scripture", the Bible says God is Sovereign. Now do we believe that? Next:

God is the creator of everything that exist both visible and invisible according to His will. Now do we believe that? Next:

Is God anything like a human being, Scripture Declares He is not like us.

Now are we in the complete image of the creation of the creature called "Human" ? No! For Scripture in its fullness, declares, No!

Does everything that happens is so ordained by "The Lord GOD Almighty" before the foundations of the Cosmos? Yes!

Do will believe in the OT stories of babies, women, both pregnant and young even children to be slaughter was order by God,

Do we believe that when Jesus rose from the Grave, He received "All Power on earth and in Heaven" that included the power of death. That no one can die unless Jesus say so. Do we believe that?

Do we believe that no one can harm us unless it has been ordained by God to come to pass. [he allowed it to happen].

Do you believe that the "Arch-Angel" Micheal has more power than the Devil? The Bible declares explicitly.

So do will really understand the "BEING" who we Call " The Almighty GOD" and His molding process of creating a creature in the "Image of His Son"! Answer. No. But we do know He does not make mistakes and everything is according to His "Holy Divine" will and everything that happens on earth and in heaven and I mean everything is so ordained by GOD to come to pass. He is not a man! Man has a brain. GOD does not, He doesn't need one He is GOD, a being we cannot comprehend. "Churches used to teach "Theology", definitions in many fields has change so much. Theology used to mean "a Study of GOD and how He dealt. With mankind in light of the complete Bible" I used paraphrase form. Now mostly religion is taught and preach in our churches. And the definition of "religion used to be "a study of mankind on how they view God in their thinking" There in a great big difference in the 2"Schools of thought".

According to the Bible we will know why this journey was so violent and bloody. But we do know now, the world is the mixing bowl to create us into the being that God wants us to be. Everything is taking place as God has ordained it to be. Nothing is a second thought correction for GOD He is perfect and everything turns out the way he wants it to be. Even the bird that falls from the sky, and the waves that flows from the seas obeys God.

Thank you PloughBoy for your extensive message. That was very enlightening.

So this is what I'm thinking;
Maybe these trials and traumas make us the people God wants us to be, to take on the hardest of life's missions. To make us strong enough in mind to fulfill and withstand His purposes for us.

'Leave it at the cross' is a perfect simple response. Glad you have managed to resolve it for yourself.

BTW. I have been following Jesus for around 35 years now, and I still frequently get these big questions stir up and challenge my faith.

Who agrees?

There are verses that support this.

1Pet 1:6; In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,
1Pet 1:7; so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Pet 1:8; and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
1Pet 1:9; obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

Jas 1:2' Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
Jas 1:3' knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Jas 1:4' And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Where was God?

God gave dominion of the earth to Adam, and all the while Adam was in obedience to God, the Spirit through Adam had access to the earth. However, when Adam changed his alliegence through the fall, he was put out of the garden and separated from the tree of Life. Satan then, had access to the earth and control over it. Didn't he say to Jesus, "it was given to me and I can give it to anyone I choose?" God does not take back his gifts and he gave the gift of dominion to Adam who then passed it, through obedience to Satan who then became the Prince, or God of the world. and as such can do as he pleases with those who are not citizens of the kingdom of heaven, for the elect, he has to ask permission.
