That he/she created the earth in 6 days, why wouldn't he/she be powerful enough to stop destruction and hate? If God created all that is life, why in the world was he/she be helpless to stop Eve from biting the apple, and killing paradise?
I don't get it.
Partaking of the apple did not kill paradise, merely got humanity expelled from it. Eden was then hidden from humanity with an angel armed with a flaming sword so that no one might enter without permission.
God was also far from helpless but remember that God created humanity as a free willed companion in His image. This was a gift, but it was humanity that disobeyed God. You may not find it fare but that one act against God is what gives you knowledge enough to ask this question. I think that, to a degree, it was a good trade off. We may not be immortal but we are larger in number and we reason, see more openly than simply through the eyes of innocence.
Now as for God not destroying hate and what not. When you were a child everything was simple. You just loved everyone you were supposed to but did you really understand how special that love was? Without seeing children starving you don't feel the compassion to reach out as often. A pair of eyes on a half beaten puppy will melt the heart of even the most corrupt of business men. Without the bad the good looses some of its meaning, it doesn't end up being as important. You need bad things in the world to remember that life is precious and that you should reach out a kind and understanding hand whenever you can.
That was AWSOME! I don't think i've ever heard it quite that way! Thanks!!!
