I never would purposely give my children cancer.Are you totally ignoring all of the good things?Parents didn't make a bunch of bad things and put them in their children's way like land mines to be stepped on.So you don’t believe you are twisting it by arguing for that passage to be true the world would have to be perfect?John 1:3
All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
My personal guess is that God gave us existence and that we start that existence on Earth. Earth is governed by the laws of physics and the laws of nature, which God himself created. I wouldn't say that God "created" cancer. I'd say that God has allowed that and other ailments to exist as a part of natural law.
The age-old question is "Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people"? My best guess is that we are here to learn the pros and cons of being good and bad. Ultimately, when we are with God, we will understand these things far more clearly.
Not what John 1:3 says. Of course you are free to twist it to fit what you want it to say. That is what is usually done.
Are you a parent? Do you love your kids? Do you keep bad things from happening to them? Or do you let them experience existence?
