Again. I am not trying to be combative. This is a real dogmatic conundrum i have dealt with since I was 10. I STILL praise and worship Jesus Christ! But still
I’m with you. I struggle with this and “how is an innocent Christian girl getting raped Gods will?”
I pray and ask God respectfully to give me some understanding. All I’ve got is that I’m a human and can’t understand how he created the world and people, or how someone can exist outside of time. So I accept God and the Bible as the truth because I’ve looked everywhere else for truth and found it in Jesus, whether I like or understand everything or not.
Don't look at individual actions/events as being God's will. It is God's will to let humanity, and the Earth, run their course, with humanity being given the free gift of salvation if they choose it, and for those who have never heard the message of salvation through Christ, He probably has other means for them to receive salvation. We should mainly worry about our own salvation; it's nice to worry about the rest of the world, but we MUST first accept the salvation we KNOW is available. After that, if so motivated, then salvation of the rest of the world can be pursued.
