Yet another school shooting in Texas.
WHERE WAS GOD???
Why didn't He stop the shooter?
Why did He let those innocents die?
I don't think I want to serve a God that let's evil like this happen.

Well then you will serve a god that demands human sacrifice like this.

Everyone must make a choice, serve the God who warned us this was coming, died on the cross to deliver us, and then through obedience to His word saves us from this evil age.

or

You will serve Satan, the adversary of God. The one who slanders God's people, he is a liar, a thief and a murderer.

What you saw happen in Texas is a warning about what the coming tribulation will be like. When people chose the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, when they had the arrogance to decide they didn't need God, didn't need His word, didn't need to let Him into their lives, well this is where that path has led us.

If you were a robot, you would have no choice regardless of how negligent you believed God to be.

As a bot, perhaps you would not even be free to come to your own conclusions on any matter.

The fact is, that people make choices that oppose God's moral will for us.

Why blame Him for other people's choices, unless you would prefer being a bot along with everybody else?

Well, if God would judge all crime, unjustice, evil, then nobody would be there alive on this earth. All sin has to be paid with death!
Where is the human beeing, living whithout sin? Ore do you think that you live good enough for to not come under Gods wrath?

Why you think, that you are better then this shooter?

It's funny how we suddenly expect God to show up on the scene after we kicked Him out of schools, want to take His name off our money, and have replaced Him with a secular religion. Now we expect Him to show up on the scene.

We must be very careful in blaming God. This is a fallen world, and it is full of evil. People have free will, we can do good or evil. Either way we will answer for what we have done.

Where was God? The Father was in the same place when His Son was nailed to cross because of the wicked and deadly actions of men.

We all going to die. Those kids are in heaven. If there were no God these events would be normal human behaviour.

Every now and then the veil is lifted and we see how desperately wicked man is. This is a reason to BELIEVE in God, to cling to Him and serve Him with all your heart and might,

I can understand your frustration.

I have no doubt at least one victim, child or adult, prayed for God to save them from that evil psycho.

Some may claim the Christian's prayers were answered when they were brought into God's presence due to the gunman's acts.
That though would be a bit twisted. Especially implicating God that way.

Who knows?Really?

This isn't the only time people died and God did not intervene. In scripture that happened a lot. And very often God was the cause of mass loss of life.

One day we'll be able to ask him why. Till then we'll have to wonder why.

You should really take advantage of your time spent in this Christian site. Because you are clearly confused there thinking this is a Jewish forum.

And if you think innocent children paid for their sins by being killed by that devil, which is the implication in context of the OP by your post, you're not even fit to serve in a Jewish community.

Yes! I'm far better than the psychopath coward that murdered little innocent children and adults because he wanted vengeance for being teased as a kid.

And the surviving children are better off that he's dead and can't return later to finish the job.

And now he'll face God's justice. Because he earned it.

Funny?

What a weak god that would be. One that can be overcome by the thoughts and acts of man.

Prayer is still in our schools. It isn't an exclusive prayer for an exclusive community of faithful recited over an intercom. However, prayer has never ever left our schools.

American's know full well the moto, In God We Trust, is still printed on our currency.

And there is no such thing as secular religion in America.
What there is, is a free democratic constitutional republic. Not a Christian Totalitarian Theocracy that would prosecute one faith only and persecute anyone not a member of it.

It is Satanic to equate God with a petty human mindset that would argue God allows innocent children to be massacred because we're not a country that exams in its governance a Christian authoritarian dictatorship .

Sickening. Satanic.
That kind of mindset thinks the Inquisitions were deserved. And the crusades righteous.

Lord.

Jesus was God.
He was born to die for us and take the sins of the world upon himself on the cross.
As he knew, as he said.

Jesus could have called angels to rescue him from the corrupt falled Sadducees, Pharisees and Pilate.

He didn't. He was the key to God's grace gift of free irrevocable eternal Salvation. Because he paid our price for our sins and the sins of the world.

How do you not know that as a Christian?

Judges 11:1-7 (NIV)

Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was Gilead; his mother was
a prostitute. Gilead’s wife also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they
drove Jephthah away. “You are not going to get any inheritance in our family,” they
said, “because you are the son of another woman.” So Jephthah fled from his brothers
and settled in the land of Tob, where a gang of scoundrels gathered around him and
followed him. Some time later, when the Ammonites were fighting against Israel, the
elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. “Come,” they said, “be our
commander, so we can fight the Ammonites.” Jephthah said to them, “Didn’t you hate me
and drive me from my father’s house? Why do you come to me now, when you’re in trouble?”

"No such thing as secular religion" ? I didn't know there was an America on other planets. Which one are you from?

What God is it that you worship that does not punish idolatry?

I was replying to the posters question. This has nothing with me having a lack of knowledge. God is still God in tragedy, bliss, heartache, joyfulness, pain, healing. Too many people would rather injected their own two cent before understanding basic communication. Hope this answers your question.

Or, they understand basic communication and still find that particular communication was why the question was necessary.
