A Hutterite's Belief

I have been asked for years define the Hutterite belief - I lack all interest in regressing five centuries to restate what was relayed to me and became a part of me!

But, the events of last week blind sided me!
I needed to be assured.
For the week I began questioning
And seeking answers ......

God is sovereign, there is nothing greater.
God is in control of all, nothing a part from Him occurs.

(this was the first of many sore points  between my mentor and me!
if God is in control - then how come .....?)

I am not God and unworthy of judging Him!


This is good enough for getting us started.


So, god-son, a life long Christian on a bit of a rough road ( heavy drug abuse area).
Goes to a country western concert with two of his friends.
Some3thing I still do not understand occurs and a whack-o opens fire on the crowd.
He and his friends take off running, but no one know from where the bullets are coming.
His two friends are hit and die quickly.
His mind goes sideways.....


And where was God through all of this???????

Certainly nothing in the shooters life would suggest He was on a mission for God,
Nor that the friends were anything more than bad timing.

It would seem reasonable that god-son's life was protected, whereas, his friends were not.
It would seem God was finished with his friends, but not my god-son.
He was protected even after their deaths.
Interested.

If life is random - he should be dead.
The death count up to 200 times higher!
It boggles the mind!

No, I would not put into print what I personally think.
I am just grateful for his safe return .....

As for the Hutterite answer to this - we are not to question God, not to judge, not to condemn - He is sovereign  - we are not.....
