Where is God when a 3 year old falls in a septic tank and dies?

God was with the three year old

we have a god that suffers with us

A couple thoughts

-a septic tank? Random

-it coul have been the will of God for a reason we cannot understand i.e. Maybe the parents had fallen away from the Holy Faith and maybe with due to the grief the loosing a child the parents will for watevr reason believe and pray again, so that the parents souls maybe saved.

-also God did bless that child with parents the God cannot control our actions, he blessed us with will. If the parents just left the child outside by a septic well that is a result of human will. Tho divine intervention may accuar.

-God loves everyone equally, so he wouldnt not help u just cuz u dont believe. But in order to insure ur place in heaven its a good idea to be close Him.

God does not cause death to anyone.(1 John 4:8) He that does not love has not come to know God, because God is love.

(Hebrews 2:14) Therefore, since the “young children” are sharers of blood and flesh, he also similarly partook of the same things, that through his death he might bring to nothing the one having the means to cause death, that is, the Devil;

God does not intercede in human affairs right now it is not fair to blame him for everything that happens.However he does promise a time when all will be resurrected in a perfect world then all of the pain we see today will be forgotten.6 And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them. 7 And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8 And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; (Revelation 21:3-4) With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

More to the point, where were his parents.

I think God assumes that we are smart enough to take care of ourselves and our offspring. He hardly is going to miraculously pick up toddlers from septic tanks! He doesn't stop natural disasters, nor help out in times of man made disasters, such as wars and 9/11, etc. why does anyone think that God is going to go around saving every 'innocent' person on this planet? We are supposed to be able to do that ourselves.

I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all. [Eccl 9:11]

In other words, tragic things simply happen. After all, the ruler of the world is not God, but Satan the devil. [1 John 5:19; Rev. 12:7-12]

Bad things happen because of sin. This world is cursed with sin - that is why we have death, disease, war, kids falling in septic tanks, etc. It can also be caused by someone's direct sin. For example, where was the child's mother at that time? She committed a sin of not mothering her child, which resulted in the child's death. Sometimes we die because of our own sins; sometimes we die because of someone else's sin.

God chose Elijah as His Prophet, and so provided for Him when he was cast out from the Israelites. God promises that if you seek first the Kingdom of God, all your basic needs will be taken care of.

Wow thats a really good question. That's God's will. He'll do things that at first might make us mad or sad but in the end he is trying to make us stronger. he wants us to run to him for help, and not blame him. Listen to these songs:

These songs both show great examples of your questions! Also read the bible, all your answers are in there! Good luck and God bless.

He was right there to welcome the child as soon as it died into the light of God.

It doesn't sound so bad when people die, or bad things happen, when you take into account the fact that it is not the end of them. If you consider that they are here for an eternity, and God is a just God that takes care of all who are good, and punishes those who are evil.

Is it sad when Mario dies on a video game. No. Why? Because you can hit the reset button and Mario is still there. So why get so upset when a child dies, or injustice happens. It isn't the end. If it was the end, you could make the argument that it is sad. But when you consider the fact we all die and suffer, and then we all get judged fairly, it doesn't seem so bad.

Not just humans. Where is god when a baby moose gets hits by a car? Or a wolf dies and it's cubs starve to death? Everything in the world is left to the mercy of nature. It's not bad, it's not good, it's just what is.

Let me ask you one. DO you feel better knowing that there is no hope, no resolution, no turnabout and that the baby is dead and that's that.

Because those are your only two real choices. God and puzzlement with hope. OR no God and all the horrors and tragedies anyway.

There is a reason that the Almightiness of God leads off most creeds. Take that with the fact that God loves us and you have hope. The dying child I can't 'explain' of course. But I don't go further and say, Oh, God doesn't care or anything like that. Knowing the story and teaching of Jesus I see a way out but I don't fully understand.
