Every time something bad happens, what's the first thing unsaved (and even some saved) people say? If God is so....(insert remark), why is this happening? Let me give some examples:
If God is so powerful, why does he allow sin to run amok?
If God is so merciful, why are people disabled?
If God is so this, that, and the third, why does he....(insert question)?
I want to be annoyed, and sometimes I am when folks ask these questions, but the simple answer I can come up with is this: We live in a fallen world, and a fallen world is going to have sin. I don't like it either, and even though I appreciate God sending his son to die on the cross, I still hold Adam & Eve responsible for sin entering this world because they allowed themselves to be deceived.
