Hi everyone: my question

But that isn’t true, because God shares his wisdom through the biblical teachings, right ? Which parents are encourged to raise their children with an understanding of (ex. Sunday school). Thank you for your response, but again.... the hiding wisdom thing just feels like good way of gaining control over behaviour...... no free will to go out into the world with your own innocently gained wisdom (from parents/upbringing)..

Here is an explanation of the question my soul seeks to answer: When a child dies of sickness.. cancer.. people question.. where was God? Why didn’t God intervene and allow this innocent, precious, loved being to live out their lives.. it isn’t fair.. a Christian seems to answer, “god doesn’t intervene in the goings-on of humans on Earth, because he gave us free will and Self-determination, therefore he does not intervene and save the child, otherwise we would not truly have free will and natural consequenses”... yet the same Christian will spend countless hours praying to God and when something good happens in their life (ex. Blessed with a child, winning the lottery) they attribute it to prayers being answered... implying that God intervened to cause this to happen in some way. These seem like contradictory ideas.. does God intervene or does he not ? Shouldn’t we be angry at God for not saving an innocent baby but instead helping someone’s great Aunt Carole recover from cancer?

thanks for your response... I wish my brain could accept that as an answer and stop looking for answers but unfortunately.. this is the struggle !

Okay, so you agree then that baby can’t possibly have lived a full life, by definition here ?

So you believe in trying to teach 4 year olds advanced physics? Or do you just not bother? When one is literally not mentally capable of grasping something that is not 'hiding' anything. God is immortal, infinite and everywhere. He lives outside of time and can see the entirety of human existence from beginning to end. Not just in a general sense, but down to each individual sense. His ability to grasp and understand and see is beyond what we will ever even imagine. Humans or mortal, finite and limited. Even the smartest people can't fathom to understand a fraction of what God knows and sees.
The bible does not contain all that God knows, nor does it claim to.
To say it's 'hiding' is a statement beyond ridiculous and shows that you are not actually seeking to understand. You are here to cause trouble and start arguments. There will be no answer good enough for you because you have already decided what you believe and are not Actually, Genuinely interested in even attempting to see things in any other manner. So no need to waste time going further with someone like that.

@ugly.. Sounds like you are offended by my point of view.. sorry ! Yes I do believe that hiding things, or intentionally failing to disclose, is a form of negligence/ deceit. For example, it is ethical to read someone their rights when they are arrested, so that they know what to expect, etc. and can follow the law and receive the rights that are granted to them.. doesn’t mean that person will fully understand what the laws they are read will mean and they should be able to ask questions/ for clarification about what they don’t! if clarification isn’t provided, that would be a form of deceit or withholding of information that is not just or fair because it negatively affects that persons wellbeing.. imo
