However, to me, this question seems impossible for me to answer without my words either painting me or God in a bad light.
It probably is. That says it all, doesn't it?
I have said why the children's lives were still spared, although their earthly lives may have ended.
Their souls may have been spared, but as you say, their earthly lives were not. Is it not still wrong that the children were robbed of an earthly life? Aren't you diminishing the value of an earthly life by saying it doesn't matter that they were robbed of life since they ended up in heaven? Don't you think there's a tension between that and your beliefs about the absolute sanctity of life?
