Synopsis

If God is all powerful why does He allow wars, natural disasters and the seemingly endless suffering of so many innocent people?If God can see the future, why did He make Adam and Eve - the first two people, knowing that they would fall and cause all mankind after them to be born into a world of sin and pain?If God is a God of love, why does the Bible record that He killed so many people with plagues and a worldwide flood? Why did He command His chosen people, the Jews, to conquer other nations by force? If God loves all the peoples of the world equally, why did He need to have a chosen people in the first place, couldn't He have just chosen all of us? Worst of all, why does God come across in the Bible as some kind of schizophrenic psycho, who tells people that He loves them, but that if they don't love Him back He will burn them in Hell forever? How is this any different from some Mafia boss or drug lord, who promises 'protection' to those who serve him but death to those who do not?Why do all the traditional answers to these questions range from the generally absurd to the downright insane.Relax - unless you are a theologian, God is not sovereignly allowing even one tear to be shed – He is love and has said in the Bible: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil.”
