This is the scripture for that the evil one cannot touch us....we can deceive ourselves by listening to his lies but that does not affect our inner man..our spirit where Christ dwells..
1 John 5:18 (NASB)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

God has given man free will in these matters and due to our free will and many wrong choices in following after the lie., many people have died. The Bible clearly states that it is satan who comes to kill steal and destroy., he has certainly stolen and he sure has destroyed., and for sure many have died because of him. We are instructed to pray for a reason. We are instructed to fight the good fight. It is not God's will that any should perish but men WILL perish because men will chose sin over Jesus.
It is very important for us to not lay blame to God for what the devil is doing. Sickness and death are part of the curse. Jesus has defeated those things but many believers still say that God is causing sickness and death. Then the enemy has the Christian just where he wants us., to not fight something bad because we have falsely believed the lie that God sent death and sickness and confusion.
God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. It is our job to claim those things by faith and walk them out. To know what the promises of God are to the saints and to live them out by faith. Again., don't attribute to God what satan is doing on earth.
God is not the author of confusion.,satan is., It is a major confusion that says evil is good and good is evil. Sickness and death are not good., we must pray against those things while we are here., and do it by faith.
There is a major Biblical problem with attributing death and sickness as coming from God. Jesus said He came to give life and to give it more abundantly. If you have seen Jesus you have seen the Father.

Yes., I've seen and heard that some people are just wanting to go home., Like Paul said he ran the race he finished the course.. But I fully believe in my own heart that God's will is life and many of us don't know that and do go home before our time. And I also admit I don't know all there is to know about this subject but I do know that God is not the author of death but of life. And when such things come to my attention (and they do all the time at work) that is how I handle it.

Well, that gave me major laugh and if it wasn't rude I would have laughed out loud in BIG bold letters. This means I've been on the computer tooooo long. Some dry humor is just at the right moment and zappo it hits!! Thanks EG you are totally obvious and that is probably why I like you so much brother!!!! We can disagree on issues but our foundation in Christ is solid. Blessings!
True. But Satan takes no life that God doesn't allow. Can Satan do a single thing without God's permission?
"The LORD kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up." (1 Samuel 2:6)
"For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal." (Job 5:18)
"See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand." (Dueteronemy 32:39)
God sent the Angel of Death many times. To the Jews in the Desert, to Egypt, and to kill many of Israel's enemies.
In Revelation 19: 15-18, Jesus comes back and kills those aligned against Him, and then has the birds feast on their dead bodies.
Again, life is God's to give, and to take. That fact doesn't make Him any less loving, or righteous.

I suppose that one could read into it that they are killed?..not sure...we do know that their armies are destroyed for sure...
