As my 10 year old niece lay dying of Leukemia, she asked my father why she was suffering so much pain. What would you say?

Sin is so unsustainable, that God must kill the sinner in the end! Right...

War not a Success

Yet one more thing must be remembered in connection with this question of fighting and the possession of the land of Canaan, the promised inheritance, and that is that the children of Israel did not get it after all, with all their fighting. The same promise that was given them, remains for us; "but if Joshua had given them rest, then would He not afterwards have spoken of another day" in which to seek and find it. (Hebrews 4:1,8) [Green will love this quote!]The reason why they did not get it, was their unbelief, and that was why they fought. If they had believed the Lord, they would have allowed Him to clear the land of its totally depraved inhabitants, in the way that He proposed. They in the meantime would not have been idle, but would have performed the work of faith which God set them. {1900 EJW, EVCO 387.2}

Soldiers in battle are not guilty of murder. Judges are not guilty of murder when a criminal is executed.

It is for the purpose of warning, not of condemning, that we write. We know that there are thousands of sincere Christians who "know not what manner of spirit they are of" when they call for war, to avenge wounded honour or even outrage, and some with whom we have talked have been shocked, on having their attention called to the matter, to find that they were unconsciously being inspired by the spirit of the devil, for it is the spirits of devils, that go about to stir up war. See Revelation 16:14. The man who shouts for and applauds murder is at heart a murderer. In this time when the nations are preparing war, "great plainness of speech" is necessary, in only that some at least may be awakened to their danger, and may for ever break loose from the fierce, murderous, Satanic spirit that is benumbing the senses of the world's millions, and carrying them to everlasting destruction. {May 6, 1897 EJW, PTUK 288.16}

I believe we need to have faith and know God so well that we do not have to expressourselves in any cruel either or which misrepresent God to others.

Through tons of tears apologize being sick is so painful. Ensure her Jesus knows her pain and is so sorry, so sad. Give her morphine to lessen the pain. Ensure her Jesus helped the doctors to invent morphine to help lessen her pain. If she wonders why Jesus doesn't instantly heal her miraculously help her understand Jesus will explain it when we all get to heaven. His explanation will make perfect sense.
