Today,
reply is on the process of GOD for mankind, eternal purpose, and the
instruction of Jesus Christ on human tragedies. Ones salvation is a
spiritual condition that is to remain unaltered despite changes in
their material, physical and social circumstances, and conditions.
Divinity and the operations of sacred law are not the cause or origin
for every observable event appearing on the earth. Many occurrences
are the result of exchanges and interactions among created beings,
living creatures, and material objects displaying as patterns and
regularities in accordance with mechanical and natural law, rather
than on the basis of obeying the will of GOD. Thus, believers are to
understand that the recent mass shooting within a house of worship in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) was not carried out in accordance with
divine law, at the command and direction of GOD, as a punishment and
verdict of divine judgment, or through the operations of the Holy
Spirit. The blessings of GOD can not be annulled, diminished, or
eliminated merely through the workings of created beings and living
creatures who pursue ignorance, self-will, violence, and wickedness.

Why
didn't God protect the Jews yesterday?
Update:
Or was God not there at all?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things
of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the
Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be
spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of
God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh
cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of
righteousness. (Romans 8: 5-10, King James Version, KJV)

“Anonymous”,
the holy writings report that on one occasion, Jesus was asked and
responded to a similar question. His reply at that time, coupled
with other scriptures, show us that the process of divinity for
mankind insists there be accountability, autonomy, integrity, and
mortality among all those living on the earth, and throughout all
Creation. This is consistent and in agreement with mankind having
authority over himself and dominion while yet on the earth, and that
men be subject to their own errors, faults, and infirmities as well
as subject to chance occurrence (we say, accidents). While Jesus did
perform healing and miracles during the course of his ministry among
the Jews, the higher focus of his work included atonement for the sin
of Adam and all mankind; bestowing and imparting sacred gifts through
the Holy Spirit; correcting errors of doctrine among the Jews that
resulted from man-made customs and traditions being respected as
though they were also the dictates of divine law; the fulfillment of
obligations to divine law through the workings of faith and
righteousness; continuing covenant relationship between divinity and
mankind through the sacrifice of holy blood as well as completing
full works of judgment, resurrection from the dead, salvation, and
the second
death.
Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible:
(1.)
Luke 13: 1-5, King James Version (KJV): 1 There were present at
that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate
had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto
them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the
Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay:
but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 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? 5 I
tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
(2.)
Ecclesiastes 9: 10-12, KJV: 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device,
nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 11 I
returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise,
nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of
skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12 For man also
knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net,
and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons
of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (3.) Psalms 115: 12-18, KJV: 12 The
LORD
hath been mindful of us: he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD,
both
small and great. 14 The LORD
shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15 Ye are
blessed of the LORD
which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even
the heavens, are
the LORD’s:
but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead
praise not the LORD,
neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the LORD
from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.)
Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
