    Thanks for repeating this question, I went looking for your comment last night so I could reply but couldn't locate it.
    I think you originally said (or someone else did) that God GAVE children cancer!
    Either way, the question is this, why would cancer ever be part of the equation if a loving God set up life as we know it.
    The answer is He didn't, He set up a very different Creation but like teenagers (who mostly by their estimation are omniscient), man felt that he knew better than God and chose an alternative pathway.
    There is no perfect analogy, but let's assume you were in charge of a nuclear reactor to heat your village. You then neglect to follow the reasonable instructions given to you and you choose to leave it in a position where radiation may escape.
    Your villagers start developing tumors; but instead of admitting it was your fault, you suggest that all the villagers blame the guy that built the reactor. In this illustration, God is that guy.

    Genuine question. Why do you specifically give God a masculine identity?

    God being an eternal Spirit in nature God is mainly a mystery to us with our current ability of understanding.
    God's Word uses Father for one of the Persons of the Godhead and Christ (the second person of the Godhead/ Trinity) walked among us as a Man. Ultimately God is not human, however He chose to become like one of us, apart from sin.
    Hope that answers your question but if not I'm always happy to answer anything raise or other question you may have.

    I did not say God gave children cancer.
    But even your reply is so wrong.When a baby is born with cancer is that child to blame?
    If not, why does this amazing God choose to ignore the child.

    In what sense do you mean God has ignored the child?

    Like someone who has made a decision that impacts the rest of his/ her family, man is naturally in rebellion against his creator. For an unborn or aborted child this is only a general answer not a specific one and in the light of time (the dimension of time alone) it can't fully make sense from that perspective alone. So if people don't believe in eternity then they will struggle to understand any answer to this. A disease can rob us of decades of life here on Earth, but our problem is far bigger than that, my Mum's friend is almost 105, yet she like us all will one day die, then where we she, where will I, where will you spend eternity?

    God HAS produced a rescue act (or a cure which is a permanent & comprehensive solution) which can impact every individual, born or otherwise. That is explained in this short CLIP along with our ultimate problem.

    Ignore it, watch it, respond to it as you will. But never say nobody cared enough to tell you.
    God bless you

    It did nothing for me at all.
    Nothing seems real in the clip.

    truthpaste has proven form for twisting the words of other posters - and turns nasty and rather unchristian when it is proven in black and white. He is either deluded or dishonest. As he believes in talking snakes, he surely can't be deluded....
