God does not intervene because He gave us the gift of "free will". It's just that simple. Were He to intervene each time an evil act is committed, then there would be no need for paradise. It would be here.
NYer: “God does not intervene because He gave us the gift of “free will”. It’s just that simple. Were He to intervene each time an evil act is committed, then there would be no need for paradise. It would be here.”
Well written, and I believe you’re correct according to scripture. The existence of evil in this world is often used as an argument against the existence of God. Why would a loving God permit abortionists to murder innocent children?
Humans aren’t animals. We know the difference between good and evil and can choose to do good. Like you wrote, we have free will. God wants people to be like Christ. Christ faced the same difficulties and temptations as us, but Christ chose to love and obey God. We can do the same.
Abortion exists because most people prefer evil over good. It’s as simple as that.
Free will is not a "gift". It is a curse.
