Angel,

The answer to your question, humanly speaking, could fill a book.  In fact,
hundreds, if not thousands, of such books have been written to make us all
feel better when the unexplainable happens.  The most basic answer to your
overall question is that God is not responsible for the curse that came upon
the earth as a result of the sin committed by Adam and Eve.  That's the bad
news.  The good news is, Jesus is still Lord.  God did not tell Moses that
he made some people blind and some people death.  Instead, God said, that He
had made the blind and the deaf.  There is a big difference.  God didn't
make me blind but He did make me.  That means, of course, since He is the
enternal Creator, He can do something about it.  What He chooses to do is
based upon who I believe God is.  If I choose to believe, for example, that
God made me blind, then He cannot heal me because I would be believing in a
lie.  If, on the other hand, I still believe He is the Creator, this places
my faith upon Him and what He can do and not man and what man can do.
People have said to me for over 40 years, some day, if we can live long
enough, science and medicine will come up with something and maybe you will
get to see again.  Wrong focus; wrong Creator.  Jesus clearly stated to His
disciples in the Gospel of John that Satan is the father of all lies and
that he, Satan, has come to kill, steal, and to destroy.  Jesus came to
literally undo the works of the enemy and thus He has.  He wants to know
what we believe, however, and more specifically, He wants to know in Whom we
believe.  I'll read your message over again and comment on it more later
today.  I'm running a little short on time right now but be assured, there
is an answer to all your questions raised in your message.

Phil.
