IF GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL AND LOVING, WHY DOES HE ALLOW THE EXPANSION OF EVIL IN THE WORLD๐ŸŒ?๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ’”


"God DOESN'T love us. Why would a good God allow the murder of children, rape, cancer, diseases, abuse and other evils๐Ÿ™„. Where is this "all-powerful God" when evil occurs?"
Unfortunately, the majority of the world has this thought on their mind. They blame God for all the hardships and suffering they go through without trying to understand that there's a deeper meaning behind the world's corruption. 

When God created the world, he created it perfectly, with no blemish until the devil came and beguiled Eve and Adam. God gave the power to dominate the earth to man, but when man sinned, he gave that power to the devil. As the new ruler of the earth, the devil's purpose is to ruin man: God's beloved creation (No wonder in Rev. 12:12 it was said, "but woe to you oh earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath because he knows his time is short!"). 
Now you might question in your heart, "But why didn't God just destroy the devil since He's all-powerful?" The answer is simple and complicated. 
The simple part: He did it to save us. 
Now the complex part: Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil making them slaves of the flesh/sin. If they had eaten from the tree of eternal life, they'd be broken goods forever and how can God do this to the people He created? So He decided to send them from His presence. Now in God's presence, there's no suffering. That separation of man from God was the beginning of their suffering but because He loved them, He visited them from a distance because He cannot stand sin (If God could purge, He'll do it every time for sin๐Ÿคฎ). Now as long as the people followed Him, they'll never encounter hardship but those that digressed from His way encountered hardships. God hasn't destroyed the devil yet because God wants a world where His creation, His children, will dwell with Him in harmony and free will. By going through the temptations of the world, He that comes out victorious will be worthy to dine with the LORD at the great feast in Heaven. In short, the devil is like a pawn that will be rid of in the end.
Again you might say, "But children are innocent, why do they have to die?" Well, except for the fact that most people engage in activities that endanger their children's lives (smoking, abortion, contraceptives), the reason was explicitly stated in Exodus 34:6-7 "The LORD, The LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness keeping steadfast love for thousands and forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of father's upon the children and the children's children to the third and fourth generation" 
Generational curses exist and it's you, not God that's responsible for children's suffering. The moment you decide to dwell apart from Him, you not only punish yourself, but your generations to come.

God gave us the world perfect. Sin made it imperfect, made US imperfect. Hardships are for those who do not put their trust in God and in the case you do and hardships still come, continue to TRUST AND OBEY.

So for those of us that want God to remove evil from the world, He might as well start with us because we're all evil one way or the other๐Ÿ™ƒ

Anyways God loves you,  just love yourself keeds๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ˜—๐Ÿ˜

  1. I'll be first to drop a comment. Good piece babe. I think the line of "trust and obey" encompasses the whole idea. God bless.
