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