It's sad that we have to lose loved ones in life. The emotional pain is almost too much to bear sometimes. However, loved ones do not belong to us. They belong to God just as you do and just as whatever or whoever killed them. Do you curse God and seek revenge against him when a loved one gets struck by lightning in a storm and killed? Do you curse God for disease and starvation that is happening around the world if it claimed one of your loved ones?
It is funny how we as people think of ourselves, who we know, and what we have as the most important things in life. I say let God take over your heart and confide in him for the right answers and choices and you shall be saved.

Your got a good heart SubSerpent. And your correct. But what im saying is, its a reaction to the event, if i saw someone stabbing my sons or about to shoot them i would react in a way where i would probably kill him. I would not be able to control myself or sit back. I dont think any parent would if they saw there wife/son/daughter about to be killed - their reaction would be to protect & kill that person. But if it happened and i wasn't around only to see the killer later in court i dont think i would want to kill him, i would hope he gets a very long jail term and i would probably hate him for years. Forgiveness would take a long time.
