Let's be honest. We don't completely understand why God does what he does and allows things to happen the way they do. He is "Sovereign", which mean "above all others" or "supreme authority". We know God through our relationship with him and the bible, but we don't know why he chooses to do certain things, or chooses not to do other things. Look at all the natural disasters, senseless deaths, people doing terrible things to others. Some of you may say "it's not fair", or "I don't agree with God", or "I am mad at God". This is certainly a discussion you can have with God and with others. It's very easy to say "well, it's because of free will". But do we really know what that means and is it a deep enough answer? So let's dive in. Based on your own experiences, your relationship with God, your interpretation of scripture, why do bad things happen in this world?
