Many times. But you see I was predestined to believe in free will.
Folks repent everyday.

No not at all. There are bad things that happen. It is not that God did not prevent it ... it is that such things can happen in the natural law world we live in. If there had been no fall it might be different. The "evil one" should get some credit for bad things that happen.
Your original question was asking whether or not God was responsible for Murtha's death. You say no and I say yes. Arguments about God's sovereignty with those who do not believe it are vain, and so this is all I will say.

Hmmmmmm, so I do not believe in God because you disagree with me. Interesting logic.

I simply believe that the 'evil one' should get credit for many bad things that happen in life. I guess you believe God causes everything. Where does Satan come into you theology?

Are you saying that God is responsible for all good and all EVIL? That, I believe, is a very dangerous theology. There must be some students of theology here who can elaborate on this belief.

If God was responsible for the nick that set up the infection that killed Murta then, in your mind, was the doctor only carrying out God's will when he made the mistake, the ill placed snip?

So are you saying that the evil things that Satan does are outside of God's control?

On 2nd thought, don't bother answering...

But I will answer my own question: There is nothing outside of God's control, knowledge and power, except that He cannot sin. And by the way, I am not a Calvinist, but the answer to your other question about the responsibility of people when wrong happens is found in Romans 9-11.
