When you have a miscarrage, could that be considered as God taking the decigion of having an abortion from you and doing it himself?
If God grants life, and takes it away. Why would he give you a baby (fetus), just to take it away? Is it to teach us a lesson?
I believe this is a creul and unkind way of teaching a lesson. People are all effected by miscarrages differently.
My main problem would be, what if the person had only ever wanted a child, that was her life ambision, to love someone, and care for them. She falls pregnant, and is going to keep it, is really happy and excited. Then she has a miscarrage. Her life is destroyed. Even if it's for a short period of time, and she manages to get her life back on track, she still had to live with that in the back of her mind.
If God loves us, why would he cause us pain that we cannot control?

Is the strongest in the universe

Where did you get the idea that God does this? |

Who else is there that has the power to grant life or take it away.
Most Religious people I know, say that a child is a 'gift from God'.
There-fore a miscarrage is a gift from God taken away..
If you disagree, please correct me.. This is just what I've heard... |

Anyone has the power to take life away. All it takes is a bullet or some such.
Unless you believe that God intentionally causes everything that happens in this world, then you would have to acknowledge that sometimes pregnancies terminate from natural causes. |

If we only had all the answers to everything God did, right? well..we just don't.
I believe God has a plan for our lives and everything happens for a reason. Who knows what God's plan is for a woman who wants badly for a child and then has a miscarriage...it seems harsh, but only God sees the WHOLE picture. Maybe this woman needed to go through such a sad trial to have compassion for others in the same stuation? maybe she will concieve again and now after going through that trial understands the true value of human life??
we just can't wrap our minds around God's infinite eternal plan. |

No way. According to 2Pe 3:9 God does not delight in anyone's death. And according to Isa 25:8 and Re 20:14 He plans to remove death forever. We just need to patient and wait on Him.
God allows children to die for the same reason that He allows adults to die. Sickness and death was Adam’s choice, not God’s. Even before Adam and Eve rebelled against their Creator in Eden, they both knew full well that God had set the death penalty for sin. If those two had not made the choice to be disloyal to God, they could still be alive today. But they threw away the most precious inheritance they could have passed on to their offspring --the right to unending life. Once they sinned, all they could pass on to their offspring was sin and death. That's Genesis 3:1-7.
Our hope is this:
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. |
