words to a hymn written by John Milton, does anyone in their right mind believe this?
See Iraq, Lebanon and the holocaust for details of this kindness...

You are trying to undertsand the reasons for all the suffering in this world.
God is merely allowing wickedness to continue, he is not the one causing it. Satan the devil is the perpetrator to all the disgusting wars, famines, abuse we are suffering.
All the books of the Bible portray God as full of 'loving kindness' and 'God is love', to name but a few.
The holocaust was described in the Bible, even the dates are exact, Jehovah knew they would occur, but he didnt cause them or back them. These are wars amongst men - 'man is dominating man to his injury'.
Jehovah is sitting back and proving to mankind and satan that they cannot rule themselves.
There is enough food in this world to be distributed fairly, infact there has been a 30% increase in food production of late years. Why therefore are whole continents facing starvation each day?
Its is mankinds rulership thats at fault, not Gods.
He will step in when the time is right.

People do bad things. I don't think that it's fair to blame all of the evil in the world on God, when Adam and Eve chose to listen to and believe Lucifer in the garden of Eden instead of believing God.
Ever since then, people have been listening to a creature (the very same Lucifer) who's central purpose and ambition is to be God, and destroy the creation of God that's most precious to Him: us. How often has Lucifer been right? Never.
I pray that God will reveal His love for you, and for the world, in a way that even you can't deny.

i believe it! do not confuse the wrongs and misguidings of man with God. Man has stumbled many times and the examples u have given are a few of those.
rather than looking at the negative look at the positive. take for example Mother Teresa and all her works of compassion, etc. i believe His kindess worked through her.

then take off ur eyes, u don't have the right to use them. hand off the food you eat or the water you drink. do not use ur legs or ur arms. do not breath his oxygen. stop using ur desires.
i see people live in war, hard life, no food at home, and all they say is thanks God. now those are true believers. and God will reward them generously in the day of Judgment.

Im sorry i dont remember God serving in either of those conflicts.... he didnt work for hitler... he didnt work for Saddam..... and he isnt part of Hezbolah.... quit attempting to make a scapegoat of God for the choices of man.... it only makes you look foolish and your obviously not foolish. Dont make a scapegoat of the only one who can deliver you from this sinful world.
God bless you will be praying for you :)

Stop twisting things and get an education of who God is - you apparently haven't invested yourself to do that.
To the unbelieving it is foolishness, to the believing, it is life.

My personal experience with the Christian God is that he is nothing but kind.
I do have reason to praise him.
Cordially,
John
