He said he reacted with ‘profound sadness’ at the events, particularly as he and his wife had lived in Paris when he was an oil executive.Appearing on Songs Of Praise, to be broadcast on BBC 1, when asked if these attacks had caused him to doubt where God was, he said:
‘Oh gosh, yes,’‘Saturday morning, I was out and as I was walking I was praying and saying: “God, why – why is this happening?“Where are you in all this?” And then engaging and talking to God. Yes, I doubt.’‘Like everyone else – first shock and horror and then a profound sadness. And, in my family’s case, that is added to because my wife and I lived in Paris for five years.'It was one of the happiest places we have lived and to think of a place of such celebration of life seeing such suffering is utterly heart-breaking.'But he added that he nevertheless had faith that God was alongside people in their suffering and pain.
But he warned against a knee-jerk military response, saying:
‘Two injustices do not make justice.‘If we start randomly killing those who have not done wrong, that is not going to provide solutions.So governments have to be the means of justice.'The Bible tells us that they are put there by God with the sword for justice, but they also have to lead us into a place where peace can be established."The Archbishop first admitted last year that there were times when he questioned whether God existed.

ReplyDeleteThe Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby is A FIGURE HEAD MAN OF GOD WITHOUT FAITH!!!
ReplyDeleteHis statement is BLASPHEMY!!!
Christians should look up to JESUS CHRIST, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH!!!
'A man of God' might lead you astray based on his faith but the TRUE word of God Almighty as CONTAINED in the Holy Bible will FORTIFY your FAITH and give you ETERNAL LIFE!!!
Hebrews 12:2 New King James Version (NKJV)
2 'looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God'.
2 Timothy 3:1-9 New International Version (NIV)
Delete1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.
LET IT BE SAID AND IT IS BEEN SAID, BLOOD SPILLED BY TERRORISTS IN AFRICA OR ELSEWHERE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS BLOOD SPILLED IN EUROPE!!!

Delete“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. ...

2 Peter 3:3-4 ESV
Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.”
Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Revelation 21:8 ESV
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
