In typical Bible fashion God allows evil people in general to have their percieved rewards and pride in this world rejecting him all the merry way. The problem is it doesnt work out well for them in the end!
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. -2 Corinthians 5:10

If GOD was not powerful you would be anywhere in the world but here. You may end up finding answers for questions you haven't asked yet.
Shalom.

Because you are.
Then again, in the future, we're all going to be worm food...So maybe a being that's been around forever figures, "Hey, I can wait 60 or so years..."
Perspective changes with that kind of time on your hands...we might not be around long enough to be noticed...

Because God gave us all free will, to love him or to defy him as we choose.
Love doesn't always have to exercise its power. Love can be patient and wait for the right time and the right action. God is love.

He withholds His hand that others might be saved. But a Holy God can only wait so long and His holiness must be upheld. Don't rush it. You will know in time. Everybody will.

Not only is God powerful He is slow to anger and abounding in grace and patience. He gives everyone ample opportunity to get to know Him.

Because He lets you. Maybe He thinks there is still time for you to come around. The game ain't over yet

you're questioning in very human words, which isn't how God thinks. Many Theologians imagine God lives "outdoors" time; it truly is, there is no previous, present day, or destiny for God. For Him, each little thing exists all mutually. So, that is unlike He is conscious of the destiny; He is conscious of all of it. yet, it style of feels we may be able to replace our destiny. it truly is area of what prayer is about - in case you ask for something, and God provides it to you, that is tremendous. in case you probably did not ask, then you definately gained't get it, in spite of if God "is conscious of" you opt for it. something like that (demanding to describe in very few words!). a number of what you're conversing about is John Calvin's predestination theory. it really is something Catholics do no longer believe in although. the idea is that there is an "opt for," who're going to Heaven, and God already is conscious of who they're, and, there is no longer something you need to do about it. To me, it isn't in any respect logical. it would advise there is no element on even attempting, as, the gadget is "fixed." i will not settle for that. Hell isn't an section although. this is merely demise - that is what the Bible says. truly, we may be able to settle for the present of existence, presented to us via God as a present of grace (it truly is love). If we settle for it, we stay (in Heaven). If no longer, we die, body and soul both. yet, that is OUR selection. in spite of if God is conscious of the top result, it continues to be as a lot as us. And, it style of feels we people can replace our minds; God appears hopeful that we will. Jesus gave 3 parables in a row (Prodigal Son, lost Coin, and lost Sheep) that deals with that very element. good judgment is tremendous major even as coping with this God stuff. It become so serious to examining Theology that we had to take particular courses in good judgment, and reason on the seminary I went to. If something doesn't look to make sense, you both do not have the right understand-how of it, or, this is undeniable incorrect!
