[quote=Anonymous]It might be good to have an adult attitude toward difficult subjects like this. To ask why God "gives" someone cancer is childish and petulant. We all die. I don't know why some people die in some ways and why others die in other ways. We are not promised any amount of time. I'm grateful for the time I've been graced with, but I've also been an incredibly lousy human being at times in my life, so I don't deserve anything other than less than what I've had. But we don't get cancer or anything else just because we've been bad. Jesus said that God "makes it rain on the just and the unjust" (Matthew 5:44). But what we HAVE been promised is eternal life if we will put our trust in Christ, and eternal, conscious death if we don't. We've corrupted God's original creation by our own actions, but no, God is NOT powerless to do anything about it. In fact, He did a lot about it: He came to Earth to die on a cross for your sins and reconcile you to Himself eternally. It's just that he did something about what we did to creation in a way that doesn't make some people happy. All He's asked is to put your faith in Him, and all will be made right someday. It's not too bad a deal.[/quote]
