back or rescue them from imminent danger and even do the same for a strangers child....now human parents are not always
right there on spot to prevent a child from all threats and imminent danger, ..but Christians say GOD is....yet how many kids
get killed running onto the road and other fatal incidences and mishaps when that 'all loving' God is watching.?

Why does that God not step in when even good human parents with their fallibilities inevitably fall short?

God doesn't interfere cause he is testing the free will of those naive little kids?...or maybe he is punishing
the transgressor parents by allowing the tragic but totally preventable death of their child?

Of course christians will 'send prayers' when they hear of such events, ..but why would anyone need to send prayers
when it was Gods will that such children should lose their life.?...what are those prayers supposed to do that God
hasn't already pre-determined and taken care of?

folks pray that the tsunami don't wash their house and family and only milking cow and plough bullock away, but when it does
they pray for what they lost, then they start praying for God to make life better..?...yet 'evidently' He thought the survivors
life is just how it is supposed to be [without all those things.]

Yes you can be forgiven but there is a high cost to pay for it. David’s plan to cover up what he did failed and God exposed his sin through the prophet Nathan. He paid a huge price for the adultery and murder that he committed. He lost the kingdom and his family as well, the nation of Israel suffered too.
