Subject: are there innocent victims in the bible |
Bible Note: Hi Godslittlehelper, Luke 13:4 comes to mind in regard to your question. "Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." What I see Christ saying is that there is no guarantee that bad things will not happen in our lives. There is no protective hedge that Satan said was around Job. Yet the context in Luke appears to infer that there is that possibility. If we are fruitful then He will not "cut us down" or curse us as He does the fig tree in Matthew 21. And also, He will not allow us to be cut down before we have a chance to be repentant and bear fruit. See Luke 13:6-9. |
