How does God justify violent death?

Question

Whenever I see or hear violent or cruel deaths from TVs or movies, I'm overwhelmed by the horrific pain the victims had to

endure...So, I ask god, how will you justify such pain? I mean, there got to be some compensation for their ordeal. Shouldn't there be one? Even if there is one, will victims be satisfied? It's like, when a kid is hurt and the parents just say, "Ah, everything is fine...I will just give him candy and he'll stop crying.." I'm not talking about just ordinary hardship we face in life. I'm talking about the extreme ones... I know this is a rehetorical question, and that I won't get an answer, but I just wanna know what other people think about such issue.. THANK YOU^^

Answer 1

"Man's enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself. "

Lao Tzu

Answer 2

If you read your Bible you will see that god commits and/ or assists or sends someone to it for him.

Answer 3

Faulty premise. God doesn't justify his behaviour to man. That would imply that man is somehow God's superior, which is manifest nonsense. Just as you don't justify your decisions to a toddler who couldn't understand even if you tried to explain.

There is so much that happens in this world as a **direct** result of human behaviour, that gets blamed on "God" just because whoever is observing from outside the situation doesn't have the information.

It is written "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord, I will repay." It's also written that He will wipe every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more sorrow nor weeping.

It's not up to us to judge God. Only someone who has all the infinite information could do that.

Answer 4

Nonexistent entities have no effect on life and are not able to justify anything.

Answer 5

I believe that everything happens for a reason and that when a person is faced with hardships there is a lesson to be learned.  I know it may not explain everything but violence and cruelty are the work of the devil, not God and one can only hope that the victim will end up in heaven.  I know it does not even come close to answering your question, but I don't know that there is an answer.

Answer 6

God has nothing to do with whatever pain we suffer, mild or extreme.  That's a human element.

Answer 7

In the fight with evil in the old testament .

Answer 8

Why does God have to justify the facts of our existence?

Answer 9

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and

brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I

detest everything that is cruel.

"Putting aside everything that might excite laughter by its

absurdity, or detestation by its profaneness, and confining

ourselves merely to an examination of the parts, it is impossible to

conceive a story more derogatory to the Almighty, more inconsistent

with his wisdom, more contradictory to his power, than this story is."

Thomas Paine

"The Age of Reason"

Answer 10

The law of karma, the infallible justice. This material world is meant for suffering, we should be intelligent enough to realize ourselves that, other wise, we are living a fool's paradise.

God doesn't enjoy our suffering, but we are stubborn. Stubborn person needs stick to understand.

Answer 11

God is the author, not a character.

You are asking Shakespeare how he 'justifies' the death of Hamlet.

Answer 12

I'm with jonquil. "God" making people suffer war famine violence or just bad days is unjustifiable. The reason why its unjustifiable is because S**t happens. He has no hand in it.

Answer 13

I would start with spelling God correct, the G is capital. The only way you will get answers from God is by reading the book He gave us. We live in an imperfect world and will always have big questions and not always an easy answer. In the book of Job, a man that has almost everything taken from him, he questions God and God answers him by saying "where were you when I was creating the world?". God does not always give an answer but He promises to always to help us through the problems.

I wish I had a better answer for you but my faith gets me through each day. Read the bible, it has so much for you.
