Why would god take a young person who was so good, and sweet, the only son of my sister? What does the bible say? I just need to know. Why

Hi dasiejanie, We are all different and words that would comfort one person at such a time as this might only anger another. We must remember that such things happen everyday and we can do nothing but accept it. Everyday there are people who are crying out to God or becoming angry with him. I believe that everything happens for a reason although we rarely understand it at the time. Be sure that you nephew is still living as the body is not the person. we are all spiritual beings and he is now free of all earthly limitations. Accept the fact that he is happy now and try to move on with your life. You will meet again. Blessings.

I too am sorry for your loss. I had a family of 7, now as of 1 year ago, we have become a family of 3. Loss is very difficult to accept, but my prayer is that all my loved ones are saved and I am patiently waiting for the day when I can hug them all again.

sometime God will do things we can not understand, but we search for anwers for some of these, and the answer isnt often found. but i think maybe he was taken to heaven because God had a specail need for him. he needed to be one of angels in heaven and might needed him to help to fight for him as well. i look at when he went to heaven another came into this world. but i couldnt think how i would feel if i had to go through this as well. but your nephew will always be with you all the time, he is looking down over you and your sister. sorry for your lost
