God is Not in the Killing Business

By tiaan gildenhuys

Job said "the Lord gave and the Lord taketh away". And since then the whole world has been blaming God for all the killings and death here on earth. But what does the Bible teach us about this? In direct contrast to this popular world view, the Bible teaches that satan is the murderer from the very beginning. Jesus Himself was the one who said this. Yet most Christians still prefer to blame God for the death of their loved ones, instead of putting the blame where it should rest. No person in his right mind will seek solace or comfort from his child's murderer. Yet that is what people have been taught for centuries by saying: "God took away his life, now go to God to receive your comfort." Can that ever be true? If this always sounded as a paradox in your mind, feel free to read this little book and then answer the question for yourself: Is God really in the killing business?

About the author

Preface

I wrote the printed version of this book in 2003, after having given my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ in 1999. Since then a lot of water has passed under the bridge and the Lord has revealed Himself to me in numerous ways from His Word, the Bible and also in other ways.

This road my wife and I started walking since 1999 included burying our eldest daughter at the age of 23 in 2007. After that people asked me whether I have changed my mind regarding what I wrote in this little book, and I could reiterate that I still believe everything I wrote here, as it is contained in the Bible.

At the end of 2012 I experienced in my spirit that the Lord wanted me to revise this book and to publish it as an e-book. During the time I spent revising this book, it was just awesome to realize how true the Holy Spirit is to the Word of God, and how the things He led me to write in
