A COMPLICATED WORLD

          There is so much evilness here on earth, a lot of criminality cases like killing, stealing, human trafficking and etc. That no one can stop and the only thing you can do is to pray to God. The question is, if He is the perfect God, why did He permit evilness, how come that the perfect God created world with so much evil in it?  Couldn't He created the world without evil?

          Let me tell you a short story. The barber's costumer asked him if God exist, he answered yes. "Then why there's still bad and evil?" the customer asked. The barber said "The barbers exist right? But why there's people who has an ugly, long and dry hair? Because they don't want to have a haircut." God gave us a free-will, so we are still the one who will decide for ourselves if we are going to be a good person or an evil one.

          In some case if someone told you that they love you, it will mean to you and it is freely given. But if you think that the other person just forced him/her to do so, that action would not mean that much. If we are going to create a wonderful world what is full of love and wisdom, we must also create a world where choices can be exercised. And in such world, there's also a possibility of choosing the other course of action which not loving. An evil thing. God is not the author of evil but the author of good, we people make choices that result in evil

          Somehow it leaves us with an uncomfortable conclusion that God allows that evil things to occur. But this give us a freedom and a free-will. The presence of evil demonstrates sin. We are still the one who chose to have a complicated world. A world where there is so much evil. Considering all the evils around us, is God really care about us ? Not only care, but he sent his one and only son Jesus Christ to suffer and die for us and our sins to be wiped
