I understand the concept of free will, but I also understand the concept of rules. If there weren’t boundaries set by God, we would all be dead. I just don’t understand how people/entities are allowed to do terrible things to children
Because those doing the most evil and terrible things to the children and others make the laws and care only about themselves. Pray for them. Pray for us all and ALWAYS trust in Almighty God† who loves us all PERFECTLY. God† bless and Merry Christmas.
I think they mean, how can an all loving God allow this atrocity to the purest and most innocent? Free will does not apply to their side of the atrocity.
In reality, it looks like those that support Evil have the upperhand.
This is known as the "Problem of Evil" in Philosophical studies. How can an all good, all knowing, and all powerful God allow "evil" things to occur? There's no clear answer - however, many philosophers have chimed in with an attempt to explain it.
From ChatGPT:
The Problem of Evil is a philosophical dilemma that arises from the apparent contradiction between the existence of evil and the belief in an omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent deity. Various philosophers have offered arguments to grapple with this problem. Here are five popular arguments:
Free Will Defense (St. Augustine, Alvin Plantinga):
Argument: Evil exists because God granted humans free will, and genuine free will requires the possibility of choosing evil. God allows evil to preserve the greater good of free will.
Explanation: According to this view, evil is a consequence of human misuse of free will rather than a direct creation of God. The ability to choose freely is considered a higher good that justifies the existence of evil.
Soul-Building Theodicy (Irenaeus, John Hick):
Argument: Evil serves a purpose in the development and perfection of human souls. It is a means through which individuals can grow, mature, and develop virtues like courage, compassion, and resilience.
Explanation: Adversity and suffering are seen as necessary components of the human experience, contributing to the moral and spiritual development of individuals. In this perspective, a world without evil would lack opportunities for significant moral growth.
Process Theology (Alfred North Whitehead, Charles Hartshorne):
Argument: God is not all-powerful in the traditional sense but is engaged in an ongoing process of creation. The universe is still in the process of becoming, and God does not control every detail of existence.
Explanation: In process theology, God is seen as evolving with the universe and sharing in its experiences. Evil is viewed as an inherent aspect of the dynamic and evolving nature of the world, and God works alongside creation to bring about the best possible outcome.
Privation Theory (Augustine, Thomas Aquinas):
Argument: Evil is not a positive force but rather a lack or privation of good. God created a world that is inherently good, but evil arises when good is corrupted or diminished.
Explanation: Augustine argued that evil is like a parasite, dependent on the existence of good for its own existence. This perspective helps reconcile the existence of evil with a benevolent creator by attributing evil to the corruption or absence of the good that God created.
Logical Necessity (G.W. Leibniz):
Argument: This world, with all its flaws and evils, is the best possible world that an omnipotent and benevolent God could create. Any other possible world would have either more evil or lack certain goods.
Explanation: Leibniz proposed that God, being both omnipotent and benevolent, would choose the best possible world out of all conceivable worlds. The existence of evil in this world is seen as a necessary component for achieving the optimal balance of goods and preventing greater evils.
These arguments represent different ways philosophers have attempted to address the Problem of Evil, offering explanations that seek to reconcile the existence of evil with the attributes traditionally ascribed to a deity.
My dad always said, “I cried about having no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet.” That always kept me grounded. That and he never let us waste food. “There are too many people in this world who have nothing to eat.” I miss him so much.
Sounds like your dad was a really awesome person. God bless that you were able to spend time with him on this Earth, and that you can carry his message forward.
Thank you. I really mean it. So many people don’t even value their parents. It’s so sad to me. I don’t want to put a load on you but please pray for my friend. We’re in the hospital right now and she’s septic. The family is waiting for her to die. I’m going to ask them if I can bring her home with me if the opportunity presents itself. I need prayer for courage and softening of hearts. Thank you.
Well you can tell what the parents talk about. Patheticly sad for the hearts of those children. Already learning to love money by parents devoid of spirituality.
Christ told us the poor would always be with us. We need to do what we can to help them. Unfortunately, I don’t trust many of the large organizations ( religious or otherwise) any longer that are supposed to give to the poor.
Since I live in a very poor county here in NC I do what I can to give locally. There is so much need here.
I can’t imagine wth the little girl who whispers, billions and Lamborghini, parents are like ! God bless these children, the ones who need so much and the ones who are raised by Parents who don’t teach them values and morals !
It's sad, but we need to take care of our CITIZEN CHILDREN FIRST. They've been done a huge disservice as it is and we can't begin to work on the rest of the world until we right the wrongs here.
When I was living in the Philippines the poor kids from the squatter area came Christmas caroling. Sad to hear children sing Santa Clause is Coming to Town, when Santa never paid a visit to their house one damned time.
I took an ice cream tub of coins (You need change everywhere and no one wants to give it) and threw handfuls in the air while the 10-12 kids scrabbled to see who could get the most. Kids in the West are spoiled.

💯🙏 done 🙏💯
Thank you.
Children are closest to god. Thats why demons want to hurt them.
TRUTH!
Which only reinforces the message that we need to return to the innocence of our childhood.
Most people forget what it was like to be young, and that makes them weak.

HELP! I'd like to find this on YouTube, Bitchute, or anywhere that may grab and re-upload for further distribution.
THANK YOU. LOOK FOR IT ON BITCHUTE

Perspective! I pray for these young kids, and for the prayers to be answered.
