IRIS ~ Those things are very hard for us to understand...in fact we can't.

We just have to remember that our God is a fair and just AND LOVING God!

One thing that I use to comfort me on the How and Whys of situations like your friend's is....

I know God knows what would have happened with that person if they were able to live their life out as God intended...he knows whether or not that child would have come to Him....

That is all my own thinking and not anything I have ever read or been told.....

it comforts me.

... is we don't know what conversation God had with that person just before they died or in their dying breath. Most people will cry out to God in their dying breath. I think the best thing to do is "hope".

You make a very good point, Gary! It makes sense. I'm glad it's not up to me to decide what sin is and what it isn't. Waaaay to confusing! It is comforting to know that God is fair and that he can see into a person's heart.

Iris, I had a similar thing happen to me as well and that is what got me wondering. And thanks for helping me feel welcome!

Ryanne, that is a very interesting point as well! Comforting!
's to all
