Has anyone mentioned that God ALLOWS evil?
I have no scripture for this.
I know God is a God of Love so I don't understand why He would,,,but I don't dwell on this anymore - I used to when I was a new Christian.
Frank Lee, quoting his granddaughter, answered this: "to see who we would follow". If you accept that Evil = Disobedience then you can understand it, at least a little bit. Evil/disobedience does not exist in and of itself; it is a motive within us. While He does permit it on this planet, We are told that it will not be allowed in Heaven. It is because Evil is not a thing that it is so horrid to you and so attractive to others.
I sort of understand why God allows us to exist; but why did God permit The Snake into Eden? That is the question. I just have to trust Him about it.
Rejoice Always !!!
