Evidence for God from Science

This was truly one of the saddest days today when I learned that my cousin, who dedicated his entire life to Christ and the church, was car-jacked, strangled, and left by the side of the road. My heart is bleeding, he was like a brother to me. Please keep my aunt and her family in your prayers.

That's awful, Byblos. I hope he'll be alright. My prayers are with your family.

Thanks for the prayers Rick. He will never be alright, he was murdered.

Wow! I'm sorry Byblos. I thought you meant he was left on the side of the road, but was still alive.

That's just horrible. I don't even know what to say. You've had a rough year. I'm sorry.

My heart goes out to you and your family in this terrible time, no words can describe this tragedy.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers for your family.

1Th 4:13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.
1Th 4:14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

It is times like these that our faith is shaken to the core. All I keep thinking is why him and why in this vicious manner, the most gentle of souls whom I idolized precisely for his unshakable faith in Christ. It seems even in his death he is determined to be a role model so you're right August, the scripture you quoted could not be more appropriate. While we morn an immeasurable loss, we do rest in the comfort of our hope in Christ.

Thank you all for your prayers. They are a great source of comfort as well.
