Third, the child being in heaven is irrelevant too. If god wanted the child in heaven so badly, it is certainly within his scope to get it before birth.

Fourth, I never said god said this world would be a bed of roses .... also, that has nothing to do with the statement I made that you are currently evading.

The rest of your post also has nothing to do with the statement I made. You didn't even do a very good job evading the point.

so again, give me one good reason why god would make a child still born.
Lots of good questions. And I do believe that God wants us to ask them. Jacob wrestled with God. God promises us that if we really seek Him, we will find Him. Questions are good.

I lost two children to miscarriage and my sister had a stillborn child that died the very same day we lost our grandfather. Bad stuff happens. God never promised that believing him would put you on a never ending happy road. He did promise that we wouldn't walk it alone. And He promised that he would use the bad stuff to our ultimate good and His glory.

Why would God make a child still born? In my case, the baby did not have what it needed to survive. Plain and simple...cells didn't multiply as they should have. I've planted seeds in fertile ground, the sun shined down, I watered them...but they did not come up. Other seeds in the same bag thrived. The seed wasn't right. Did I do all I could to help it grow? Yep. And I can be angry and cry because one didn't come up or I can focus on the wild flowers that come up without having been planted...and the ones that came up beside the one that didn't. I choose peace. I choose to be happy for the crazy bubbling world all around me. (And the four kids I went on to have.)

My sister's baby strangled on the cord. Tragic. Definitely. Response: Named the baby after my grandfather and trusted that my grandfather is loving on that baby in heaven. Angry at God? Yep. For a bit...then she rested in the promise that His timing is perfect and that baby had a purpose...it thrilled my grandfather in the months he had left. He lovingly made a cradle...he spent joyous hours handrubbing wood for his first great grandchild to sleep in. As it turned out, he was the one who held the baby first...in heaven. My sister went on to have two children.

Life is a journey. Being a follower of Christ isn't about escaping pain on this earth...a very good friend of mine's husband has a horrible cancer. It is his second bout with horror as he had a different blood disorder when he was in his teens. The choose to live each moment, praying for a healing but absolutely knowing that should it not come, that tomorrow is as good as any day to begin eternity. If he gets there before her, he'll see her when she gets there.

I hope that helps answer your questions. It is difficult if you look at things from just our perspective...our timeline. God's timeline with us is a story that began in Genesis. It is an incredible love story that is has it's greatest jolt in the celebration of Christmas. I wish you a Merry Christmas.

...that was sweet and thoughtful. Not one word of mankind's opinion of Gods judgment, fire nor brimstone nor of finger pointing or accusations or 'holier than thou' rhetoric.

That's the kind of God that I have no problem with; a God who just helps you carry on rather peacefully and serenely through life's ups and downs.

That was nice and Merry Christmas to you too even though I'm still an agnostic.

BTW, courage is not measured by signing your karma.Courage might be accepting others opinions as just that, and not being such a small minded person that you "ignore" anyone who counters your opinion.

2ndA is a wuss.

see, i said it out in the open, does that make me courageous?
