That is a question for them to work out. I left those kinds of pointless questions behind when I left the faith.

Yes. And almost all of the apostles were killed in horrible, violent deaths. Jesus never promised we would live a perfect, wonderful, happy life full of prosperity as you might see the money-grubbing televangelists say.

So God should have taken away a human being's free will and commanded the shooter's physical body to walk in front of a bus or something? God allows people to commit sin even when it is horrible acts like this. That's part of having a free will.

God could try doing whatever he does in heaven to keep the death-bed converts in line.

In Heaven we'll be in the very presence of God. There will not be room for sin.
