: If god knows everything that will ever happen before it happens,(Omniscient) why does he allow children to be concieved to parents who will ultimately abort them, when he knows they will? Then he considers it murder, which is sin, which is punishable by hell, for a 'sin', he knew they were going to do, before THEY knew they were going to do it. Is god hell-happy or what?

To the free-will yappers, you're missing what I said. You like to jumop at 'free-will' when this question has nothing to do with it. The question is, why does God get mad at abortion when he knows it's going to happen in the first place?

next person who says free will gets reported for going off topic. Read the question.

To all the people who keeps going on about God giving us a test: God knows some people are going to get abortions. So what kind of evil God would put an innocent fetus in a place to test the mother to see if she would get an abortion? It's like giving a child to a pedophile to see if the pedophile will do something to the child. It's not fair to the child. What kind of mean God would do something like that to a fetus?
If you give me thumbs down for this... you are stupider than I thought.

God isn't opposed to abortions. Read the ENTIRE Bible and see.
God kills lots of pregnant women, and the Bible COMMANDS them to be ripped open, PLUS gives instructions on how priests should perform abortions on unwanted pregnancies. God also repeatedly COMMANDS his followers to hurt and kill others of ALL ages. The Church even supported and ordered abortions up until the middle of the 20th century. Do some actual research, instead of depending upon misleading church propaganda for your information. God clearly does NOT value human life at ANY age.

The "sin" is defined by the person not by G-d. G-d is love and therefore aware that a being has the right to choose. The decision of that being to bear a child or not either by abortion or contraception is entirely up to them. The condemnation arises from those who feel G-d is wrong and that they have the right and job of punishing and denying the right of choice as G-d.

Don't blame God for it. The parents who did it our to blame. You got it twisted. Yes, killing someone is considered murder. Yes, it is a sin. Well people can ask forgiveness for thier sins. No, God is not hell happy. He gives us all a free will to choose between right and wrong. Even when it comes to believing in him. You didn't bring up satan. Does satan have anything to do with this?It iss not God's will to see people go to hell. The devil wants to take as many people as he can there. Satan is not on any humans side at all, God is. So, please stop falsely accusing God.

God is all knowing and all powerful but He is perfectly holy and sinless. Man on the other hand will be judged for what he does. God is longsuffering and will one day put an end to sin and death. Sin entered into the world because man choose to sin in the garden and we see the consequences of that today.

A god that refuses to fix this universe is evil. A god that cannot fix this universe is impotent. Therefore no god.

God gives people the chance to mke the right decision. If God didn't create situations like this, the world would be without sin at all which is ridiculous.
Without suffering there would be no compassion

God gave us free-will. It is not God's fault if someone chose to do an abortion, it is theirs. Anyway, murder is not punishable by hell. God forgives and as long as you believe in Him, you will go to heaven.

Well the best way to put this is that God forgives us all, even though we all make mistake. Yes, God know everything about us, but he gives us a a choice between right or wrong.

everything you mention above, including the idea of a god, has been created by man.
I do not say that God does not exist, but certainly not as defined by man.
cheers!
