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 am so confused about that myself. God is all knowing, all powerful, all loving, so why would he allow pain and suffering. I know it says he gave us our own free will with choices, but why weren't the choices all good. We can choose to sin or to follow God's path. Why did he give us a choice of bad vs. good? I really need some input on this one. Someone told me it would be a very boring life if we didn't have choices, but God could have given us all good choices, not bad too. I need some help please! |
