How sad that people believe that God will kill others in order to make them more holy……………that is what this quote says to me!
“We ask that God would make us holy. It is a good request indeed. But are we prepared to be sanctified by ANY process that God in His wisdom may call on us to pass through? Are we ready to be purified by affliction, weaned from the world by bereavements, drawn nearer to God by losses, sicknesses and sorrow?” ~ J.C. Ryle
God in his wisdom will kill our realtives and make us sick to make us holy! NO NO NO!
Jesus never made a single person ill and healed ALL he met; He then said see me and you see the Father. Jesus is God, and God only wants us to have a good and abundant life; He will not kill you or make you ill to teach you a lesson. That is religious nonsense.
Illness and death are the work of the enemy. Resist him and submit to God; the enemy will have to flee. Yes, you may learn from this experience, but it is not God trying to kill you.
You would have to be nuts or religious to believe this; and then tell people in the next breath that God loves them! Come on people, get real.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news…………
