1 year ago 20 innocent children died in Newtown Ct. Where was a loving god to protect them?
Newtown is but 1 example that demonstrates that such a god does not exist.

Perhaps you are correct Amanda and I apologize to the families should they read this.
THE BATTLE AXE: Life Choices (12/14/2013)—Rightly understood, a believer’s decision to follow Christ as a disciple, and to serve as one who proclaims his teaching through their daily living is a choice to willingly continue within a relationship based upon trust and truth, not upon temporal circumstances, conditions, and events that change over time. Many would not dare to show certain attitudes and behavior in front of their children, their parents, or their spouse. However, they fail to realize they often display cheap, crude, offensive, tasteless, and wasteful behavior before GOD. For this reason, in addition to transgression and violation of divine law, sin must come to be understood as the violation of ones commitment and covenant, of ones conscience, of ones integrity, and of ones own word of promise. Where you truly believe your conduct and habits are acceptable, and make possible the highest expressions of love and respect to GOD, there is no need for you to seek change. Where you truly believe you can learn more, do more, share more, seek change and blessing from GOD by increased fellowship with other believers, by prayer for endowments of the Holy Spirit, and by continued study of the holy writings. (See Job 5: 17-24, 1st Corinthians 11: 32-33, 1st John 3: 19-21 and Romans 14: 22, KJV.)
THE GOLDEN ARROW: There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13: 1-5, KJV)

“Just wondering”, here are a few points of understanding you appear to lack that are widely held among committed Christian believers:
(1.) The existence of corruption and death among mortal beings do not derive from divine substance, sacred operations, and eternal purpose apart from other truths that proclaim and reveal divine love. Death can not stop GOD from receiving those children and adults who love him.
(2.) GOD is a spirit who, in the earth realm, appears in carnal and material person (we say, flesh—through people like me and you) within the created beings and living creatures generated from himself.
(3.) The operations of nonmaterial, non-spirit sin make it that all life in the earth is “at risk.” Sin opposes the continued existence of divine law, of Divine Person, and of all that has been created of GOD. Yet, sin may dominate awareness and self-will in the living. Where sin does not appear as contrary and strange to a person’s nature, sin appears as acceptable and normal, and so there is no resistance to sin.
(4.) The spirit from GOD provided in the ministry of Jesus Christ, establishes a new nature within believers that recognizes and responds to divine love. GOD must be within you, love must be within us, and others like us, before we can accept the duty and privilege of protecting the innocent, being strong for the poor, being righteous and truthful to all.
There is far more to be said, correctly shared, and spiritually understood. For example, (5.) In a sense, until a sinner confesses a need for the permanent changes that GOD provides for their life, the sinner does not exist. GOD will exist without him, his belief, his respect. The sinner will not exist as part of the church, the family of GOD, the kingdom of GOD. Believers in Christ are also the proof for that, and an evidence of sacred things unseen to those who disbelieve.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith. Jesus is coming.
