Since he's omnipotent, he should be able to do all three of them at the same time. Tell me why he does not do that and instead allows suffering when he doesn't have to?

Suffering exists because people do evil things to each other, like rape and murder. Don't blame God for what people do. If God interfered when people made bad choices, then people would be no more than puppets. Free will is what makes us human and God won't violate that. Jesus couldn't stop the people who abused me in my childhood or the whole of the universe would collapse. Its free will for all or no free will for any. Free will is there and that meant I endured horrible things as a small child. Since God gave all people free will, you just need to know you will have to deal with the consequences of your choices. Free will is a force, just like gravity. It has cause and effect.
God teaches me all the time, he often uses the consequences of my choices to teach me, like the 20 extra pounds I have now because I've eaten too much and exercised too little.
But, you know, Jesus loves me and he helps me with everything. His love helps me with even the consequences of my wrong choices.
Your question is really sort of aggressive. What is really on your mind? If there is a God of love, would you be willing to open your life up to his influence? Why do you act like God is somehow a bad guy? God never makes us do anything we don't choose to do. He can't be blamed when I choose to do wrong.
I honestly wish you could know the love of Jesus Christ for you. He cares for you so much. I would have committed suicide in 1971, if it were't for Jesus Christ. He rescued me from the despair that had plagued me since my abusive childhood. If I "preach" anything, I preach how wonderful Jesus Christ is, I don't go arguing about what kind of church people go to. I hope you find some real answers to your questions. Honestly, I hope you talk to Jesus and let him into your life. But, I will always defend your right to choose and then live with the consequences. God forces no one.

curiously that evil merely exists as does stable. yet evil is a character, merely as stable is a character. Evil via itself is of no effect. yet while that's acted upon, then that's a concern. all of us be attentive to that God suggested that he's robust and that devil is evil. so they are the persons of the personalities. God tells us that he's easy and that for the period of Him is not any darkness 1John a million:5 easy can not create darkness. Darkness, however, has no capacity over easy. The greater easy, the fewer darkness, yet darkness isn't thoroughly eradicated. that's continually there interior the corner or under the cabinet. it style of feels that there is an contract with God and devil. God limits Himself and what He can do interior the international. In turn, God additionally limits devil, yet enables him interior the international. the objective looks by way of fact God needs us to love Him. If it have been a robotic action, then it could be of no value, merely like in the journey that your spouse have been compelled to love you, it would not be so useful. whilst we don't be attentive to all by way of fact we are constrained in capacity of understanding via the finiteness of our minds, we are in a position to make certain this interior the e book of Genesis financial disaster 3, activity chapters a million, 2 and 3 and in Matthew 4. those are the only circumstances we hear devil's words of slander and lies. In Genesis, he slanders God to guy, in activity, he slanders guy to God and in Matthew, he slanders the God-guy.

Suffering is man-made...obviously we would not have freewill if we could no longer choose to make suffering for ourselves and others.
