Bible Question (short): Does God cause death like this? |
Question (full): My question has to do with what certain people say at my church. I am not judging them or saying they are wrong but when they say these things it bothers me. I'll give two examples of what two people say all the time. One person said that when he was out of church that God took his mother because of it. He was a grown man at the time his mother died. Another example is by another man who says that God took his baby because he wasn't in church. It is scary to me because I know I'm a sinner saved by Grace but I am starting to feel worried and confused because I think I had better live perfectly or something bad might happen but I just can't bring myself to blame God for it. I really need some help from you my brothers or sisters to tell me if there is any truth in this? |
