in this world, everything has a purpose but what are the purposes for war, pollution and crime? I really need to know why?

Man has started this, not God...people don't do God's will, because they think they can handle the outcome of what they decide to do...they basically follow what they feel is right instead of listening to what God thinks should be done...too many people think they can get away with anything nowadays, but eventually it'll come crashing down on them!!!!

There is no purpose originally in God's design. These things exist because of the original sin against God. The original sin being the disobedience toward Him buy explicitly doing what He said not to - eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. These things were man-made. Not necessarily God made. These things exist because man is flawed by nature. We are prone to anger, jealousy, hatred, rage, envy, lust, etc. All of these things lead to the issues we face as a society.
These things also exist to provide all of God's children with a choice - you can chose to do the right thing or chose to do the wrong thing. God knew this would happen and so He was gracious enough to give everyone a choice.....what will be yours?

Everything does not necessarily have a purpose. Things exist and we assign a purpose to those things.
Rite: A formal spiritual exercise
Right: Correct

There is no "global" purpose. People create their own purposes and pursue them. When the different purposes of people are conflicting, and there are no scruples or there is enough desperation, war and crime results. And pollution exists because people undervalue the global good in relation to their own good.

We may never know all the reasons why things happen, and we cant. The Bible says that we will have rumors of wars, and wars, Poverty, crime, hate, division, etc. The Bible warns us about it, but we cant always have the answers. Everything does have a purpose (Eccelastics 1 ).
Life is a mystery, but Asking God to show you why things happen is a great way to learn. But dont run away if you dont get an answer.

I agree, she needs to sort out what she wants. Breaking up with her man and being with you are two separate decisions she needs to make, and you don't need to be messed around either. I say a few texts a week will sort out her true feelings pretty quickly - if she is really keen she'll WANT to hear from you all the time. Give her a chance to realise this. Good luck

no, everything has a cause. A 'purpose' or 'meaning' is something we humans assign to it.
The factors leading to war are often complicated and due to a range of issues. Where disputes arise over issues such as sovereignty, territory, resources, ideology and a peaceable resolution is not sought, fails, or is thwarted, war often results.

To make people realize that this world is full of sin and that we need a savior Jesus Christ to deliver as from this sinful world. The more things go well in our life the less dependent we are upon God. The more calamity that we have in our lives the more we call out to God.

Everything does not have a purpose. Why would you think that?
