Why doesn't God end all evil immediately?

Question

Why doesn't God end all evil immediately? To end evil God would have to destroy the cause of evil people. In His good plan for people (see below), it is therefore not good to end all evil immediately.

Why doesn't God make people unable to cause suffering?

To do that, God would have to take away our ability to choose. But choice free will is a good thing. In order to love, you must be able to choose to love. Forced love is not love. So to have a universe that included love,

God had to make us with choice, which includes the choice not to love and that makes sin, evil, pain and suffering possible.

Why does God allow natural disaster and disease?
It is a part of a sinful world. God lowered the perfection of creation (from the perfect garden of Eden) to match the spiritual state of those who live here (Romans 8:20-22).

God graciously has sustained people on this earth (allowing them to reproduce, to develop governments and systems to deal with

Answer 1

That's not exactly a question, but a hearty "Amen!" to you anyway. ^_^

Answer 2

I'm not really religious, but I had the same question when I was little and was told how God made men and universe - for love and peace. And the answer was choice again- described as the biggest part about this religion, that you are not just predestined to something without any ability to interfere, but can choose to act in certain ways and then be responsible for it.

Answer 3

If Allah had seized people for his or her incorrect-doings right now, there does not have remained any residing being on the face of the earth, yet that may not his way. God's way is to enable people learn from their blunders and evolve to bigger information and documents. God can locate the money for to test with people via fact the essence or spirit interior people is immortal and is not any longer limited via area time constraints. The human physique is an insignificant tool interior the hands of God by which the human soul evolves and returns lower back to its source via thousands and thousands of births.

Answer 4

It is not only you who asked this question, I too, sometimes in my life asked this foolish question in which I did not realized teh consequences it will bring to those who do not know Jesus. In fact I am going against the plan of God and contradicting his word.

Is God happy in the desctruction of the wicked? Precisely not! God wants this unbelieving souls to come to the knowledge of the Lord. God made the law in order for this unbelievers and sinners to know the righteousness and standard of God.

He wanted the wicked to learn to:

1) Forget the world (Phil 3:13-14)
2) Forgive (Eph 4:32)
3) Pray (John 15:7, 16; 23-24)
4) Believe (Mark 11:24)
5) Worship (John 4:23-24)
6) Give (Luke 6:38)
7) Witness (Acts 1:8)

Money is not the root of all evil, It is Satan who is the root of all this chaos, confusion, terrorism, named it and you have it. If Satan is the root, then why God allow Satan to continue? Why not terminate Satan instead of the wicked man, since they are influenced by Satans demons.

The reason why God allow satan to continue is:

1) To demonstrate the power of God over the power of Satan
2) To develop character and faith on all created being both in angelic and Human
3) To keep the believer humble, both man and angelic
4) To provide conflicts for the saints that they may be rewarded through overcoming (1John 4:6)
5) To use Satan in inflicting people to bring him ot repentance (Job 33:30)

As a christian and who abhor evil, our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of ourselves, to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today.

Answer 5

2 Peter 3:8-10 (NIV)
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. [9] The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.

And I'll take "Religious Rants That Look Like Questions" for $200, Alex.

I have nothing against religious people (I'm not), but don't post a question and then answer it yourself.

Answer 7

God exists not in a way that we could see, hear, touch, smell or taste him. But in a way of our faith... Our faith with Him gives us the confidence to live. If ever you've noticed a lot of evil, it's because they don't believe in God.
God doesn't literally exists but He exists deep in ourselves. He is somewhat our guide, BUT do not depend on Him completely, you'll just end up hating Him.
He cannot end "evil" because actually, "evil" doesn't exists. Evil was just named "evil" because it's something that the HUMANS believe as dangerous to mankind, in a sense that it could hurt people or even kill.
If ever you're in doubt of dying, please don't. You'll be one of those people who feared death.

Answer 8

Because HE is God and set forth a plan of mankind in the creation.
