So I reading about why God help certain people and not others and the answer was that he only helps those who he knows loves him back...

HE HELPS THOSE who know how to love him back?!?! I don't believe that crap for a second!!!!
My grandparents are VERY religious, they have always been excellent Christians. My father [their son] was also religious and was a very good person. Then your GOD took him away and my grandparents cried and cried "OH why? why would God take our son?" If you want an example of good heart people, my grandparents and father are them. They prey everyday and thank God everyday for everything.

Then my father passed away from "kleptomaniac carcinomas" which is a rare cancer in the lining of the brain and spine.

My grandparents and father love GOD, they worshiped and thanked him everyday. If GOD helps those who he knows loves him back.. how is this explained?

Because of GOD, my grandmother is so depressed I am afraid she will be the next one to pass away and soon. She has never questioned GOD and has always been the best of christian.
I really hate when people say that GOD took him to a better place.
NO. He and my whole family were much happier when we are alive and around each other.

Yeah, I hate when people say that. You're right, it's not true. And when you get let down like your grandma did, it's a shock.

GOD took your father to Home, Heaven. He is happy. Your grandmother & your father will see each other again.

Sorry for your loss ...

(John 5:28-29) Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a RESURRECTION of life ...

Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Rom 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Rom 5:8 But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

There seems to be plenty of evidence against that theory.

You make it sound like God is some type of self absorbed megalomaniac. God loves all of us, but is allowing things to take their own shape. This is because his sovereignty was challenged. Man thought that he could conduct his life without help from God. He is allowing that. Death is the enemy of all of us. It will eventually overtake all of us. Should God give my children eternal life just because I love Him? That doesn't make any sense. All of us reach a point where we die. I believe that sometimes God either removes us from that or hastens our way through it so that pain can be avoided. I further believe that this is simply a transition, and like all transitions, is significantly painful.

Wow sorry to hear for your loss!! I lost my mother to cancer, it was a slow painful death so I know your pain. But...just because someone puts all their faith and love in a religion and they are taken like that has nothing to do with God. God is not confined by religious belief's and neither should you be. I know it's easy to blame God but bad things happen to good people every day and you shouldn't let a religion destroy your faith in God because that religion says it can do miracles then doesn't if that makes sense to you.

God is there for all of us but we have to free ourselves from what we think we know as the truth of God and become like children in order to truly connect "spiritually" not religiously to God. And a child has an adventurous heart that is not confined by the political correctness of religious belief. I hope that helps!!!
