We talked about how he would never have blue eyes because of his parents genes, I told him no, it's because God didn't want him to have blue eye and he laughed and said oh really? I'm not strong in my faith so I started doubting,..can anyone help out? Is God responsible for every person? How they look like? Their life?

But specifically, when a child is born with and illness or birth defect that effects his whole life. And if this is is God's will for this person, why, considering in many cases the person will never live what everyone else considers a normal life.

Eve was taken from Adams side. After He created those two, it was up to the humans to reproduce. We are from the genes of our parents, not from Gods hands, as in Adam and Eve. Many blame God for birth defects. They even blame God for many diseases. Man lives in a fallen world. Sin is what brings about pain and suffering, not God. Saying that, He does take what seems to be ugly, undesirable and unwanted and uses them for His will, as long as the person is willing. I have seen more love from a mentally handicapped person than I have from many "normal" humans. I have also seen people with an undesirable disability love God more than I could ever imagine. Seeing things like this makes me wonder who is the handicapped, them or us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the reason why we are who we are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We make choices that effect who we become. Many of them could very easily be against His will. How could He be held accountable for what we choose? If we follow His will, then He can have all the glory of who we have become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that separates you from me, that's what I was trying to ask. I know God has to be involved one way or another. ( I'm sorry, I ask vague questions) lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” (Jeremiah 1:5). GOD also could have added: "I knew you because I know the beginning from the end. But your parents made you, not Me. I do not control what you do, but I do control the circumstances that surround you so that MY decretive will will occur. I will not cause you to accept My Son as your Saviour, but I knew before the beginning of time if you would or not. So, when it was time, I called you and you answered My call. Since then, I have been responsible to keep you and never loose you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trueTHAT Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'd like to hear some answers to this too. But specifically, when a child is born with and illness or birth defect that effects his whole life. And if this is is God's will for this person, why, considering in many cases the person will never live what everyone else considers a normal life. Jn 9:2-3 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. the other subject concerning spirit and all, i wont tackle on seen it to be too controvertible for here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
