jazzytakara Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 A question came to mind with the recent tragedies, its sort of a 'why does God allow bad people' question. I know there is the notion of freewill and that God wants us to freely choose Him, but with so many horrible things happening in our world, would it not be better to not have bad people in it? Does that make God selfish for allowing bad people to horrific things, so that others can freely choose to love Him? I don't think this is the case, but its hard to understand when you see what's on the news these days or how people act in everyday life? Can anyone help?

CatherineM Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 We can't know how high a mountain is unless we have slogged through the valley and climbed our way out. When we experience bad, we crave goodness. Seeing first responders inspire others to become one. Standing in line to give blood after a tragedy might inspire someone to become a regular donor. It might remind people to pray. It will hopefully make us all strive to live life to the fullest because it can end so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
