Some people I know lost their eldest son at the age of seven through a farm accident, they believe he came to salvation many years ago but has backslid over the years. I struggle with trying to come at this tragedy from a biblical perspective. Other well meaning folks have said to them that it could be God's way of bringing them back (and to) fellowship with Him. They cannot accept this and is in fact driving them away. I guess it comes down to the oldest question of them all "why did God allow this to happen?" As a family (2 other younger children ) they are really suffering.
What is the basis within God that enables Him to forgive sin, is it on the basis of His mercy or on the basis of His justice?
When non-christians ask us how we know that what we believe in is the truth, and how do we prove it, how do we answer that question?
Can we and should we burn incense to the Lord today? If we can/should, what kind and where is it available?
Could you explain these verses in Ephesians 4:26, 31. Can we as sinners be angry and not sin?
