Clay Jones Why God allows Evil

And yet you post on threads you have no interest in actually seeing the context. Talk about lazy!

If God exists, He either 'cannot' prevent evil or simply doesn't care about it.

Someone told me this. I don't necessarily support it.

God and his angels operate in the subconscious world, and we mortals in the physical world.
God cannot, or won't, interfere in the physical world.
Same as we can not interfere in the subconscious world.
But God use mortals, ie me and you, to change things, or situations in the physical world.
If we can not, or will not, change a situation we suffer in, then its on us.
So we have a choice.
Does it make sense?

What about biblical miracles? Clearly God got involved in the physical world then.

"What about biblical miracles? Clearly God got involved in the physical world then."


I don't think the above two statements are homogeneous. The Bible does indeed include miracles where God got involved in the physical world, and by so doing 'did' intervene with human freewill.

Why then wouldn't an all powerful ...[text shortened]... nt the suffering of a innocent child (for example) when the Bible illustrates He has done so before?

Gosh.

Why don't you start your thread, since the link that speaks to this isn't on your menu?

I'm taking over this thread and saving it from tedium.

More razzmatazz you think?

More questions than answers.
