If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to
Then He is not omnipotent.
If He is able, but not willing
Then He is malevolent.
If He is both able and willing
Then whence cometh evil?
If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?

No he just likes tests........
Lets see how the Etheopians react when I take away all their food.
Lets see how the Bosnian Muslims react when I send my Christians to eliminate them.
Lets see how Catholics react when a great number of my priests molest alter boys for years and my Church tries like hell to cover it up to avoid paying costly law fees.
Lets see how parents react to the death of their babies.
The list goes on and on

Sure. He is able, but not willing (for the time being) because he doesn't want to spoil us all rotten and wants us to learn a thing or two while were here.
A parent certainly can keep their child inside and safe from the world all day long - but is that really showing any kindness to their kid?

Nothing about the omnipotent creator being theory ever made any logical sense to me... Buddhist philosophy reinforced that, logically. You might find your answers as you continue to hunt, as I did, just be patient and question the answers.

GOD is GOD. We as the church are his body. We are not everywhere.
But if every person accepted Christ as Lord and Savior everything would be perfect.

because he is able and willing... you have to be willing to accept that though... only then will you realise that is able and willing but you have to want to see it
