Mat 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Mat 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Mat 13:26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Mat 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Mat 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Mat 13:29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

I wont pretend to know Gods thoughts and motivations,but it seems to me that God gave us all freedom to choose from good and evil in this life and we are to blame if we can't figure out that love is much more desirable than hate and good better than evil.I will say that God gives us plenty of clues.Just be thankful for a chance to live and grow and take personal responsibility for your thoughts and actions and don't try to pawn it off on God,it won't get you anywhere anyway.

In order for us to truly love, we must have the capacity to withhold love. To truly choose good, we must have the capacity to choose evil. But even though we are all stained by evil, God has made a way for us to become clean. He is no traitor, He is Savior and Redeemer.

a question like this is one reason i laugh so hard when some atheist tries to say that Christianity is just an attempt to avoid personal responsibility...God gave us free will and if we CHOOSE to do evil, then we have no one to blame for the consequences but ourselves...tell me, are you a traitor to an arsonist for living in a house that can burn down? after all, with all that wood you give him to work with, what can you expect? do you begin to get it?

Evil gives itself to Us
and the angels cry in heaven Woe woe woe unto the inhabitants of the earth.
God does give Godd to US, you do not understand the promises.
All things good come from God.
evil happens because people choose to do evil, not because they repent of their sins.
if every man repented of their sins, the land would be healed and the work of the saviour would be cut short.

First of all, there was no evil until mankind fell to the deception of the serpent. I suggest you read the book of Genesis,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
When Adam and Eve fell to the serpent's deception, 2 things happened: 1] Man would now see death, because he was initially made as immortal, and 2] The disobedience of Adam and Eve was the first SIN-thus evil was brought into the world.

Man is responsible for his own downfall. He had the choice to give into Satan's temptations or not.
God is not a traitor. He gave us a second chance by sendin Jesus to us.

He expects us to use the brain He gave us to see what harm evil does and choose good. Funny isnt it that we choose evil more often than not?

We make the decisions , not God. People need to stop trying to blame God for their weaknesses and put the blame where it belongs , on your own shoulders.
