We choose the experiences that we need to learn from, before we are born. Our memories of before and after (Eternity) end with our birth, so that we may fully evolve from our experiences in this classroom called Earth. While we are here, we see only a beginning and end to life and seldom understand the entire picture. Here, we lead a linear existence from day to day, but eternity has no time as we know it. A crippled child, who chose to be so for his own reasons, perhaps to provide a lesson for others, perhaps to provide the way to a medical cure, may live 60 years here, but that would be just a twinkling of an eye in the grand scheme. No, God does not ever choose for us. We do our own choosing in all things. He gave us our own free will. It takes a very strong and good soul to be willing to suffer in order to help others.

No one can know if God really punishes them or not. It is up to God and we can't know. We can make assumptions but that is it.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! GOD DOES NOT FORCE HIMSELF UPON US! Whom ever is doing this needs to go back and read the bible again. We  have the right to choose how we live. Good or bad. In the end we alone are left with our own end results.

The church has a tradition of molesting and abusing children which goes back centuries. Maybe because there is nothing in the bible that specifically says harming children is wrong. In fact Psalms:137:9 says Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

When mankind fell into sin all came under the curse of sin. It is the mercy of God that He puts children in families to protect them. This is why the normal family structure is important. Christian families are a blessing. This is how God protects children.

God allows things to happen, but he still hurts for us when me make poor choices and he is always there for us.  We have free will.  If we did not have free will, we would be like robots.  God gave us forgiveness through his son Jesus.  I am praying for you right now, that your you will learn from your mistakes (and that we all will) and that you will call up God to hold you through the pain.

It's obvious all this medication for all these so called "disorders" don't work because 5 year olds are controlling things. Your kid is sick alright, he was born with a sin nature. Ever wonder why babies cry when they don't get their way and are selfish as toddlers?  "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me(Psalm 51:5)". "Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him(Proverbs 22:15)". Years ago, when there was no such thing as A.D.D. etc, the parents were in control because they spanked their children, thereby teaching them that choices have consequences. "He who withholds his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently(Proverbs 13:23)". "Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die. You shall strike him with the rod and rescue his soul from Sheol(Proverbs 23:13-14)". If you don't whoop him, he will whoop you. One day he will probably be bigger than you and if you don't get him now, what will you do then? He will be an out of control adult who will be dealt with by society, but only much more harshly. So please, for his sake, yours, and the rest of the world's, raise him right!

Uh, no. God loves us and as our Heavenly Father he loves affection from children as does any parent.

God is not a member of any kind of religion. He couldn't be. So everybody is protected by Him, not only the new born babies. well, if his parents belong to a religious cult, that's ok. so the baby will. but if they don't, that doesn't mean that the baby is deserted.

Yes, I think God is highly admirable.\n\nIn the account of Pharaoh's resistance to letting the children of Israel go, it is very important to note that there were several times that Pharaoh heardened his own heart.  So finally, God did what we do at times with our own children.  When they continue to be stubborn over and over about something, sometimes we just say, "Okay, since you refuse to obey, you go ahead and do what you have repeatedly insisted you want to do, but realize that you will have to suffer the consequences."  Pharaoh was warned by Moses of exactly what would happen (the death of his firstborn and of the firstborn of every Egyptian family).\n\nPharaoh had heardened his own heart so many times, God finally judicially hardened Pharaoh's heart, which is what Pharaoh wanted anyway.  \n\nAs a result of Pharaoh's steadfast beligerance, he suffered the consequences, and unfortuntely since he was the honored leader, his followers had to suffer, also.  But if, in the end, this suffering resulted in their realization/acknowledgement of the truth, that the God of the Israelites was both loving and merciful to His beloved followers, and they accepted this great God as their God also, it would have been worth it.  Some did, indeed do this, and countless millions have done it since, never to regret being a child of God of whom the Bible says, "God is love".\n\nDuring the Israelites journey, there were times that they lost focus and became angry at Moses and God and were disobedient to Moses and to God, yet here is how God responded to them over and over again:  "But they and our fathers acted proudly, hardened their necks, and did not heed your commandments.  They refused to obey, and they were not mindful of your sonders that you did among them.  But they hardened their necks, and in their rebellion, they appointed a leader to return to their bondage.  BUT YOU ARE GOD, READY TO PARDON, GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL, SLOW TO ANGER, ABUNDANT IN KINDNESS, AND DID NOT FORSAKE THEM" (Nehemiah 9:16&17).\n\nOne more verse (out of many) describing the beautiful character of God:  "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy.  The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works" (Psalm 145:8&9).

I think you raise a good question.  I don't think parents would have a child if they thought the child would end up being tortured FOREVER!  I also don't think that God would create children if they risked that!  That is one reason I think the theory of hell is very off-base.

Thats a strange question, I feel you are judging and dont want to be judged. Also your not well informed about the bible.\nLike back in the old testament a kid was just a little more worth than a slave. The parents even had the right to get the disobidient kid publicly executed... thats in the bible too and apparently you didnt read that, yet you turned an "atheist"?\nIf you are honest about it then you arent an atheist, your having doubts about it, thats why you are asking this question.\nStop being stubborn. Search the bible for answers and dont look here!

If god exists, then he probably had a hand in starving those children.  In the past he hasn't been above killing innocent children.  He was upset at some Egyptians, so what did he do?  He killed the innocent Egyptians instead: the first born cute babies.

that's a good point. \nu know what's worse? imagine that my God was taking care by his mother when he was a little baby born. i can't imagine my God is being feed by his mother, dress him up, calm him down when he cries! no way that can be my God!
