How do you explain the existence of evil, despite God being almighty, and all knowing, and perfect love?

[Aviel]

Why does God permit or create evil?

I posted this yesterday on another Thread..



God is in a unique position, based on allowing us all : free will.

See, when God allows us to be "like Him" or "made in His image", then He has opted to allow Man to choose what they are going to do.

So, when we see Child Molesting, or when see, Islam or Gay Adoption, being allowed to exist..
When we see a Hitler, or a Ted Bundy, or a School Shooting...... it's because God is allowing them to exist, because every single person, has a right to choose to do what they want.

God created us all as free will moral agents, and some chose to not be moral, and some choose to be immoral, and some choose to kill other people.

This is not God "letting it happen".....This is God's gift to Humans.....in that God has given you the right to choose your behavior.

If you decide to use your life to harm others, then that is not God's fault, that is your CHOICE.

Never blame God for giving mankind the opportunity to choose what they do.

Even Choosing to go to Heaven or Hell, is our decision.
