Bible Question: Something I've been thinking about for a while. God is all knowing, and a loving, merciful God. So He knew all the suffering, pain, and evil that would happen in the world. Why then did He create it in the first place and put mankind on it. Why not just not create it, if He had not created it, we would have never none it, and look at all the suffering and evil that would have been avoided. Anyone have any thoughts? wdc |
Bible Answer: I like Xapis' answer! God wanted a people that would love Him and serve Him from their hearts, a people who would reciprocate to the best of their feeble abilities. If you think God created evil for His plan to work, search "God created evil?" for pros and cons. In Christ Jesus. |
