Though most of you were 5 or 6 the day this happened, this moment in history will live forever and will never be forgotten. It is our generations pearl harbor.
There were a lot of questions that were raised about this day, and are still be raised today.
A lot of people were confused as to what was going on as well as who would let this happen.
Many people blamed this on God, and wondered how God could let something like this happen to innocent people. This is a good question.
So, what I want you to do is to respond to this question, or at least how would you respond to someone who would ask you this question today?
Maybe a friend lost a love one a tragic and expecting way, maybe friends are wondering why God let's bad things happen to good people. Whatever it may be, how would you answer someone when they ask you where God is? Why is He not stopping this?
Respond to these questions:
1) Why does God let bad things happen to good people?
2) Where is God in these events?
Happy reading and responding

i think God lets bad things happen to see how we react, if we stay with him.
God is always there. He is with us and is waiting for us to call on him.I think he will be there through thick and thin.
i think God lets bad things happen to good people because we live in a sinful world. Also to see if we believe in Him and so we can become closer to him.
God is right there with you God is always there. Even though we are all sinners He still loves us.
hi
I THINK IT IS TO TEST OUR FAITH IN GOD TO SEE IF WE WILL DOUBT HIM BEING A KIND AND LOVING GOD
I AGREE WITH JACKSON R
GOD IS RIGHT THER WITH US WHEN THESE THINS HAPPEN BUT HE JUST NEEDS TO TEST OUR FAITH EVERY NOW AND THEN
because it just shows us hes in control
we can go to heaven faster and i agree with jackson r
the last two anomynouses are adam j's
hes with us to protect us
I think that god is sitting up in heaven watching und waitig for us to crack and turn to him so he can prove that no one can do it on there own
i agree with jackson
God lets go though trouble when we think we can't get any lower.He loves us no matter how much stuff he put us though.Every challenge a new lesson, evey lesson a new challenge.God seems like hes never there but hes always walking along right with you.
Jackson Rodgers i think u totally got it, right on man!
I believe God lets bad things happen to good people to test our motives and to see if we really, truly rely on him for strength. Sometimes God lets bad things happen to good people because he loves them and wants them to grow in their spiritual relationship with Him.
Let me tell you a story.
"One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with God. In the sky above him scenes of his life flashed before him. He looked on the ground under the scenes and there were two sets of footprints, one his and one God's. When the last scene of his life flashed before him he looked back at the footprints in the sand. What he saw troubled him. Along the path of his life he noticed that there were only one set of footprints on some areas along the path. This bothered him for they were in the saddest and lowest parts of his life. He went and asked God about this and God merely smiled and said, "My precious, precious child, I love you dearly and would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you can see only one set of footprints, it is then that I carried you"
This short story is the answer to our question. God loves us so much he would never forsake us. We tend to overlook the fact that God is always with us and tend to even (brace yourself) blame him. If only we could realize that God loves us and has a specific plan set out for us, then I think we truly understand where He is when the things get tough.

I totally agree with Matt *cough cough* I mean T.J.
God makes bad things happen because
he loves us.
I agee with jackson
jamie you're right on, and i heard that story sometime last year.
i think god does this 2 teach us and help us grow in him
i agree with jackson rodgers on q. 2
i think God lets bad things happen to good people so that we can grow closer to him spiritualy.i think God let september 11 happen so that we would grow closer together as a nation and as a nation we would grow closer to God.

i think God lets bad thing happen to thousands of people because we live in a sinful world.
hey to a private shcool and dont know much about the bible can you help me a bit?
I think God lets bad things happen to good people, to test our faith so that we may grow closer to Him.
i htink god lets bad things happen to good people because, he wants to see how you'll react to the situation, and for you to learn from your mistakes. there's a saying that says there is only one way to learn, and that is from mistakes. he wants to see how you'll react, because he wants to have a choice. which one would you rather have, your parents say you can only eat healthy, or give you the choice of junk or healthy? yeah you'd be better off with the healthy food, but if you only had 1 choice it would make you unhappy. same thing with the choice. god only gives a choice because he loves you.
B. Bamby also has a good point similar to mine and i like it!
i agree jackson rogers
I definetely agree with Jackson
And justin
God lets bad things happen to us because he loves us. He tests us so we know that next time we are tempted, we know better.
i agree with jackson
I think that god gives us hard times in order to test our faith and to keep us in spiritual shape. It's just like how you need to workout in order to stay in shape. It's painfull, but the benefits are worth it.
I also agree with jamie b. God uses tough times to test us. I also like your story jamie, i thought it was very elaborate.
God lets this happen to good people bcause its his plan, and if u r a christian u will go to heaven of if u have jesus christ in your heart
I agree with jamie alot that he does that kind of stuff to test us and warn us so we dont do it again, ad so people that are not believers in christ might just go and found him
God is always around us he is ebery where we go, and has things happen because God has a plain for all of and will keep doing these things.
caleb wright ment every not ebery
and i also a gree with jackson rodgers
I think God lets bad things happen to good people to test our faith and loyalty to him.
Right on Justin!
I definatley agree with jackson on dis one bra.
i think God lets it happen because its a test of faith basically. He wants to see if we take a seperate path from him.
God loves us and lets things happens to us because in the end it will all shape out in Gods glory
Jamie your awesome and so is your story get well!!!!
if i were saked this question i would say that God has a purpose for everything
btw who is t dawg.
i agree with josh willbrand
lance u retard u said you didnt know how to get to this website.... btw this is jay.
God is with you the whole time do not doubt him. he is there when you think he is not.
The reason God allows us to go through times of difficulty is to test our faith in Him. This world would be a pure fantasy if their was nothing to worry about. And if their was nothing to worry about, we wouldn't need God.
Therefore God puts us through hardships. Sometimes it may not seem like it, but it hurts God even more than it does you. How would you feel it someone you created was so sad, depressed, mad, or angry that they didn't feel like life was worth living.
So even though it seems God is sitting up in the clouds playing his golden harp with no worries, he feels all your pains. It says in Genesis that man was created in the image of God. God feels our pains too, we just don't know it sometimes.
I don't know what sasked means Lance... but I agree with you.
Dude people are thinking more and more how satan wants us to think. He wont stop untill we give up and surrendar.
God gives use the bible as a guide, life is a road and the bible is the map. Everyone makes wrong turns no matter who you are.
Most people have made a wrong turn or have fallen and they dont think they cant get any worse. And when they do they blame God, but God is always there calling you, you just have to answer.
God wants you to love Him even though what your going thorough.
If you think you dont sin that much, if you have to hide what your doing its usually not the right thing to be doing, but God sees all and He forgives if you let Him
hope u get better jamie, we all miss you man!!!!!!!!
He lets bad things happen to good people because everyone has sinned. Nobody is perfect and everyone needs to be tought a lesson.
I agree with Jackson and Josh that he will stay with us. Also he does things like 9/11 so that people come together and become closer to God.
i think that God is always everywhere no matter what and i think that He lets bad things happen because He can let something good come from it. just like noah and the ark it was horrible but God let noah survive and the earth started over and that was good. i also thinks He lets bad things happen so we can grow closer to Him. sometimes in tragedies we start to pray more and follow Him.
i agree with Jamie. i think God lets bad things happen to us to test our faith and see if we are truly following Him or just going through the motions.
AWESOME STORY JAMIE HOPE U GET BETTER!!!!!
i think bad things to show how muchn they love God.
i agree with jackson
I agree with Matt. God love you whatever you are going through.
Robert Killion
He just does this to test our faith in him and Jesus Christ, if we blame it all on him he will know we dont have as much faith
God lets bad things happen to good people to show that He is still in control. He lets it happen...which still says He's in control. Does that make any sense?
I Think brandon bandy is right. God IS right there when we need Him.
Just like in "Evan Almighty", God lets bad things happen to good people because he wants to see if we will remain faithful to him.
I agree with Jackson. God wants to know if we really are comitted to him.
very well thought jackson i couldnt agree more
also God is there he'll always be there just call on him hes there
I think God lets bad things happen 2 good people 2 test their faith in Him. I think he wants 2 find out if they will keep the faith.
i agree w/ brandon bandy
Bad things happen to give us a challenge like
he did with Adam and Eve.
God is there to show
us a lesson he wants us to
learn. However we often dont so sometimes he
punishes us in a way he deems right, to show us
that he really knows what hes talking about and that
he is really there.
jackson really knows
what hes talking about,
it's hard to believe it
but God is there no matter
what just like jackson said
God isnt there for everything because he wants to test us to see if we will do what is right.
jacksons got it right.
i agree with jackson
and i think that God lets it happen because sometime we let our selves get out of hand and we let anger get to us what could really happen if we didnt could be good
God lets bad things happen to see if we are prepared and ready to react the right way
i agree with even
sorry i agree with EVAN
I think God lets bad things happen for many reasons, one of them could be he wants us to draw close and we have wandered so far from him he has to use devastating means.
I agree with Jackson Rodgers
