@SpringSteps @lukeappleton God does allow many horrible things that evil humans do to innocent humans. Don't you wish God would implode an evildoer before he had a chance to murder an innocent child, for example? I do.

@SpringSteps @lukeappleton Because we refuse to listen to Him and prefer listening to our foolishness. ❤️

@SpringSteps This is so dishonest when you leave out natural disasters How do you expect to win the respect of others to your cause, when you play games like this? Your basically saying you need use manipulation to make people believe in God and you wonder why they don’t trust you…

@SpringSteps Wait a second... Zoom in on that gun and the laws of physics that made it fire... HOLY MOLY! It was God all along!!

@SpringSteps Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Without the spirit of God in man (we'll choose evil instead of Life)

@SpringSteps God isn't real

@SpringSteps He gave us free will. The bad things are judgements. There was no death before Adam sinned.

@SpringSteps If I saw a child being raped I would do everything I could to stop it and to hell with the rapist's "free will". Why does you god allow children to be raped? Why does he not step in?

@SpringSteps The way I see it, bad things happen in the world because that's the natural consequence of having free will to choose what actions we take for good, ill or neutral

@SpringSteps It’s not God; it’s man and his personal choices. We are born with a free will. It’s no different than doing something nice for others.

Yup, about sums that up😄, and yeah, we're always blaming or trying to blame Him for all the wrong "we" do, it took me a while to understand He is always good, always! So i can't blame Him when He was kind enough to warn me about certain and many bad decisions and moves I've made in my life through His Holy Spirit and just ignored it or wasn't grounded enough to hear/feel His conviction over those many unfortunate decisions I've made. "Lord Jesus, I'm sorry for all my judgments/accusations towards you, and thank you for still loving me through all my foolishness. Please have mercy on me, my family, my brothers and sisters in You, friends, and most of the lost that will hopefully eventually be led to you. Please prepare me for the real evil that's coming upon this earth shortly here and those that are still not 100% grounded in You. I ask this in your Holy Name Amen🙏" Jeremiah 17:9-10 NKJV “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. ✝️=💙

@SpringSteps Serve God then be under His protection. Serve yourself then be under your own protection. With His protection you will never die. Your body here might but you won't.

@SpringSteps Allow. You used the word "allow." God, is "allowing" bad things to happen, because there is no intervention, no stopping bad things. He just sits back and watches. Every argument is that Go's "will judge." What? Judge what? After we all die and then nothing matters?

@SpringSteps @DDanB21 Because we live in a sin cursed world and when Adam fell in the garden all of creation fell. And therefore man is born in Adam and people do bad things. God is long suffering waiting for more to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:4 KJB

@SpringSteps How does this apply to disease?

@SpringSteps All of the evil in this world is committed by humans. Don't blame the God who set the rules, when everyone is hell bent on breaking them.

@SpringSteps Yes people like to use this one. Also blame on satan. When in reality we should all be looking to ourselves for the horror on the earth. Man has caused it all

@SpringSteps @awaitingchrist Mandy, you got it going ! Great meme.

I'll take the argument further.. Why does God CAUSE bad things? "Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason." - Job 2.

@SpringSteps Right!? God only exists for them when they need someone to blame for their evil doings.🙏❤️

@SpringSteps @JakeThirteenth FR, FR

@SpringSteps Free will

@SpringSteps The person asking that question is the one who got shot, asking why God didn't stop the shooter. It's a reasonable question, because any good human with the power to stop the shooter would have. God has more power than any human, and is present at every shooting.

@SpringSteps Read the entire book of Job, then ask God.

@SpringSteps HE doesn't. We do.

@SpringSteps Now do tsunamis and cancer!

@SpringSteps Christians: “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”

@SpringSteps yeah like when he killed all those babies and innocent animals in the flood

@SpringSteps he doesn't, that's the thing people cannot and will not get. We know why people won't accept humans are the dukes of their own destinies, they probably did something bad.

@SpringSteps God: thou shalt not kill Also god (like 5 minutes later): kill them!
