If God gave us free will, why did....?

Question

1 million Armenians have to die so that the Turks could exercise their free will?

6 million Jews have to die so that the Nazi's could exercise their free will?

1 million Cambodians have to die so that the Khmer Rouge could exercise their free will?

You get the picture.

Couldn't He have stopped it?

Doesn't this seem a little harsh? It does to me, surely there's a better way to exercise free will than to commit such atrocities.

Armenian...chill there babe, it's just a question.

Ttoubled Troll...good evening my friend.

Oh Troll, sorry for the typo. My bad.

Answer 1

"Doesn't this seem a little harsh? It does to me, surely there's a better way to exercise free will than to commit such atrocities."

GOD did not think up these atrocities, or pull any of the triggers, hide any of the burial sites, make any one participate.

ALL OF YOUR EXAMPLES LISTED AND MANY MANY MORE WERE DONE ONLY BY HUMANS - AGAINST HUMANS. For a human leader, by human lackeys, and dupes.
Give credit to humans alone for all the killing, as GOD is SCREAMING - STOP! But GOD is stuck - if GOD changes us then GOD made a "bad" thing - which GOD can not do, we are "good" just not mature enough or courageous enough to live as we should.
So GOD sent his son, Jesus, in hopes we will listen - when we passed over all the prophets before him, and so here we are 2007 years later humanity slogging unchanged, interesting isn't it?

But none of OUR problems are GOD's fault or making.
Humanity has to mature faster that's all.

GOD could have and can stop us, but GOD still has more faith in us, and many show that they ARE living as GOD hoped - the numbers are just so small, GOD has time to see our success, (I will be dead for eons before this happens). But it will, I'm sure.
We are currently using our free will to kill others instead of finding better ways to compromise and live with each other peacefully. Humans choose to follow their free will to kill and hurt others - for favors and greed/personal gain, or are being lied to/tricked, again by other humans. GOD is not lying or tricking any human, just humans manipulating humans.

Answer 2

God can stop it. Would God be righteous to do so? Let’s take a look at man’s nature, specifically his tendency to kill. I’d like to ask you if you know whether or not one of the millions of little baby’s who have ever been aborted could have been the one to grow up to discover the cure for cancer, build a machine that could produce water from thin air, or create a viable way to feed the hungry children of the world? Is God righteous in not ending this world right now, in allowing man to exercise his free will, when there are people who have yet to hear the gospel and have the chance to receive him, despite living amongst people who reject in utter abhorrence their own maker? It’s not wrong to question God, but to reject him without actually looking at the true condition of man is to deny the culpability of each one of us before him.

Answer 3

He definitely could have prevented evil form ever entering the world and created perfect beings. These perfect beings would not have had free will but would have been perfect they would be as little gods or robots and would have been incapable of sin. Therefore doing away with all evil. What he would have been left with was a creation incapable of making its own decisions or worshiping of their own free will but simply did as they were created to do. god did in effect create the same perfect beings but through the atonement we are perfected those that love the truth do seek hm and find him and are perfected...While this progress may seem expensive to a man consider the price that is paid by a righteous God. Who loved his creation so much that he himself paid the penalty of death for those who accept the atonement while we were in our sin and against him. This temporary life and flesh we have is simple that a millisecond of eternity and while we endure many things in this evil world there is an eternity with God in paradise to come.

Answer 4

I accept as true with you on homosexuality, i don't comprehend what the respond is in spite of if it is a sin or not, yet I do think of that it is between God and this guy or woman. My activity as a Christian is to love them and be variety to them. The question of abortion is one that is relatively diverse and that i will answer this as the two a Christian and on soley an psychological point. As a Christian, i've got self assurance that one and all lifestyles is sacred, that on the 2nd of theory a living soul has come into the international to end God's purpose (in spite of that is). putting my Christian ideals aside (I comprehend that not all of us is a Christian or shares my ideals), American regulation errs on the ingredient of conservatism (i.e harmless till shown in charge). the yank scientific association has desperate that at a undeniable evaluate fetal progression (i've got self assurance it is sixteen weeks) it is seen a lifestyles. properly as quickly as we've desperate that at a undeniable factor it does exchange right into a lifestyles (they themselves use the awareness "around") what if it is 15 weeks or 14 weeks? That being mentioned I even have self assurance that expert-lifers could step up and take accountability for their ideals (in case you're professional lifestyles, do you volunteer to paintings with deprived little ones, are you a foster ensure? Do you supply to charities that help little ones and single mothers? in case you very own a corporation, do you grant day care?) by way of fact i'm a specialist-lifer, I even have self assurance in relatives making plans and condom use (if the egg and sperm under no circumstances meet, there s no theory)

Answer 5

Yes, God has the power to stop anything, but then that would not be giving us free will. ALL of us. Knowing every choice we make can affect millions of people, for good or evil. If you read the Bible there are lots of stories of how God used what someone meant for evil and turned it into good. But people still choose to do bad, it is sad, but true and they will reap what they sow!

Answer 6

I heard from a lot of people who have had near death experiences and gone to heaven that we actually chose our lives with all its hardships before we come to earth. I know this is very hard to believe but I think there could be some truth to it. They say we choose to die certain ways because it will ultimately help someone or many people learn to love and become closer to God.

Answer 7

god gave all a gift of life only man breaking gods law can stop it,
death as revealed /proven by jeus christ is but a rebirth ,we are all born again
gods gift is not easly removed
see we are sewn into skin ,just as flesh can be sent to jail,
we are here for a predetermined sentance ,its not that death is the end but only the process by which we are born again ,
it is said only the good die young ;
surly in this is a sign for the thinking of men?

would you prevent a prisoner of the flesh his /her spiritual freedoms ,yes he could have prevented it but the prisons getting overcrowded ,yet let the words of christ have the last reply
'set the prisoners free'.

Answer 8

Free will by definition allows humans to make what later seems clearly to be wrong-headed decisions. The perpetrators of these horrendous choices have to learn for themselves that this/these actions were unworthy of humans evolving on the planet. The one who were sacrificed for this lesson may well have agreed to be the powerful teachers to effect the lesson being learned many times over.

Answer 9

In giving us free will, he gave us choice. What we do with the choices we make each day - whether to commit murder on a massive scale or not is our own choice and He cannot interfere with those choices or we do not have free will.

Answer 10

It was in God's plan these things happen and who am I to question why God allows some things and what He doesn't?

Big picture is those were all souls and they will be judged just like you & I regardless of where & when.
