Why does the loving god give some people free will to kill "innocent people"?

Question

I know those who kill will go to hell. But Is it fair to those "innocent people"?

ericabishop691,

Even before we are born,are we not of a sinful nature?

So we all have to go to hell after death?

Why do I have to do things right?

To those who believe free will,

Will you change your answer if your love one is one of the innocent people killed?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as "fair."

Answer 2

Free will gives you the choice to do what you think is right or wrong. If not for free will what would life be and how could we ever experience anything. If not for "bad" how could we know what is "good"? If you don't ever make a mistake then how do you grow? If you tell a lie to keep from hurting someones feelings is that lie ok? When the United States bombed Iraq and killed innocent people along with the "terrorists" was that killing ok? Everything happens for a reason and everything is an experience, how you choose to look at the experience is up to you....it's free will.

I even have been attempting to get my Christian buddies to end making use of that factor era for a at the same time as now. it is no longer from the Bible; it basically has a extreme-high quality ring to it. What they generally propose by making use of "unconditional love" is that anybody may well be forgiven and there are actually not any textile circumstances that a individual ought to fulfill with the intention to qualify for God's grace. to cite C.S.Lewis: "Nonsense continues to be nonsense, even once you talk it approximately God." I even have instructed those that the graffiti on the partitions of hell probable incorporates issues like "God loves you unconditionally." on the different hand, you could think of too lots whilst it comprises religious concerns. If one had to be above primary intellectually, i.e. able to be certain by commonplace notions including this one, with the intention to be saved, very few might have the skill to circulate into the dominion. there is no longer something approximately love that demands its merchandise to be astute.

Answer 4

This isn't the easiest question to answer but here it goes. God gives every one a chance to believe in him and follow him, but everyone has a "freewill" or knowing right from wrong. What people chose to do with this is a life decsion that will effect them forever. It is never fair but life isn't fair god makes trials and tribulation that we must face and endure, this is how our faith grows this is also another reason to spread the word so innocent wont have to go to hell to.

Answer 5

God just gives the free will and we are the ones who decide what to do with it. Those people may be innocent in this life but maybe they had some karma to pay for something they did in a previous life. Cause and effect. What goes around comes around.

Answer 6

ok first what the F does sdf mean?

Secondly, the whole point of free will is that people are able to make their decisions. Unfortunately many people out there are, to put it bluntly, evil. They make their decisions not based on the effect it will have on others, but instead on their own greed, lusts, etc... I know it isn't fair, but then neither is life.

As you have added to your question let me add to my answer:

Right now my fiancee is lying in a coma in Corpus Christie, 3 years ago she was hit by a drunk driver and has had medical problems ever since then. She has never blamed God for what she is going through, despite the drugs they have to run through her system at times, the fact it has for now @ least put her school on hold (studying to be an RN), and it has put our life plans on hold for a family. Free will is still free will, as much as I want to see that man dead, she has forgiven him.

Answer 7

God doesn't give only "some people" free will, He gives it to all people everywhere. The Bible says that, "Satan goes about as a raging lion; seeking to kill, steal and destroy". So while we do have a loving God who would love to protect us from that destruction, we still have that free will and can use it to follow the ways of God or the ways of satan. Is it "fair"? Of course not! But by granting free will to His children, God took Himself out of the loop, so to speak. Only you can decide who you'll follow and how you'll live. But, in the words of the great Bob Dylan, "you're gonna have to serve somebody! It might be the devil or it might be the Lord but you're gonna have to serve somebody!"

Answer 8

No sin isn't fair, but that is why we all should be prepared to go to heaven. Nobody knows when they are leaving and even the innocent aren't garenteed heaven. And the people who kill the innocent will reap what they sow.

Answer 9

Did you ever think that, just maybe, these people don't actually love God? Maybe they are just using God as an excuse? That's what fanatics and other crazy people do. And who ever said that anything had to be "fair"? I'll tell you a little secret: NOTHING IS FAIR, especially in either love or war.

Answer 10

It is the same free will that allows some people to kill "innocent people" that allows the same person to love their enemies. The choice is ours.

Without the free will to do great harm, we would not be able to love.

Answer 11

Stop blaming God for everything.
Free Will is an individual's choice to pick good or evil.
God stays aside and watches since mankind rebelled and doesn't want his intervention,read Genisis in the Holy Bible.
It wouldn't be called 'free will' if God jumped into our reality and controled something ,we would be robotc wouldn't you say?
