Please Help Me Understand Why God Made a Bear Eat a Canadian Murderer. -
06-07-2012, 01:43 PM
I know GOD does everything for a reason, but this has me a little confused.
Quote:
Cannibalism has been all over the news lately, but people aren't the only ones dining on human flesh.
Canadian authorities have identified a body partially eaten by a black bear as convicted murderer Rory Nelson Wagner, according to CNN. The body was discovered on Wednesday, near a 1986 Volkswagen Jetta covered in scratches and muddy paw prints. The driver's side window was rolled down.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police believe that the 53-year-old was already dead when the bear broke into the car and dragged the body out, the Guardian reports. Though cause of death has not been determined, officials found drug paraphernalia and a bottle of liquor inside the vehicle, and toxicology tests are underway. His death is not thought to have been a suicide, according to the Edmonton Journal.
Wagner pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 1994, after he and two others were charged in the 1993 killing of a man whom they believed had sexually assaulted a relative of theirs. Wagner was on parole, but had been reported as missing from a halfway house since May 23, according to Local 10 News.
The bear suspected of eating the corpse has been caught, CNN affiliate CTV reports. Though the bear is not believed to have actually killed Wagner, officials plan to euthanize the bear in the name of public safety. Conservation officer Darcy McPhee says he and his team have not taken this decision lightly.
McPhee explained to CTV that the body was not decomposed enough to be giving off a strong scent, and yet the bear was comfortable approaching the vehicle and dragging out the corpse. This, conservation officers feel, is a sign the bear may be dangerous to the public.

It's totally GROSS and everything, but that's not why I'm confused. I would totally get it if GOD made the bear kill that guy who was the murderer, but the news says he was already dead.
Cuz in the Bible, GOD used bears to kill those mean kids that were making fun of that bald guy.
Quote:
23*And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24*And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. 2 Kings 2:23-24
|
And it says in the story that the guy the bear ate and his friends killed another guy who raped a girl in his family, and I was wondering if that was an OK thing to do, because the Bible says that if a guy rapes a girl, he should be killed.
Quote:
25*But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die. Deuteronomy 22:25
|
But, the Bible also says that if the girl is married, then they should both be killed, but the story doesn't say if the girl who was related to the guy the bear ate was married or not.
Quote:
22*If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. Deuteronomy 22:22
|
So if any Pastors or other people who are smarter about the Bible than me could help me, that would be great, cuz those Canada animal control guys killed that poor bear, and if he was just doing what GOD wanted him to do, that kinda sucks and it makes me sad.

I probably don't know about the Bible as good as you Tammi, but Aaron always says God doesn't make mistakes, so God wanted those Canadian people to kill that bear. Maybe so it wouldn't eat other people who weren't murderers, since I don't think bears can tell murderers from regular people, unless God is helping them of course.

Aaron said I should have this for my signature to remind me how to be a good wife.

That's true I guess, but why would God have the bear eat the dead murderer guy in the first place? And it said in the story that the murderer guy was on drugs and he was drunk when he died too, so even if it is OK to kill somebody after they rape someone in your family, that doesn't mean it's OK to go out into the forest and drink and drug yourself to death.

In this case, Sister, it may have been that God decided to simply give the bear a meal of semi-fresh human carrian.
"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them." (Matthew 6:26)
God has never had a problem creating one creature to prey off the flesh of another.

Poor bear. It only ate a dead animal (obviously this druggie wasn't a Christian, so was just an animal), and now is being put to death.
I wish there were someone with the ability to rescue it. Someone who had a place to keep bears, and access to proper food.
Do we know anybody like that?
Bible boring? Nonsense!
