Why God Allows Some Bad Things to Happen

 

The Book of Romans, chapter 1, says this:

"Since they didn’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it’s not as if they don’t know better. They know perfectly well they’re spitting in God’s face. And they don’t care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!"
(Romans 1:28-32)

 

People say the Bible isn't relevant today. Bah! That's just more of the same silliness mentioned above.

You want to read more in the same vein of explanation? Read ALL of chapter 1 in the Book of Romans. Very interesting and relevant to today's world.
