Why do you believe God allow child abusers/molesters/murderers to exist?

God gave us free will. keep that in mind. people will do whatever they want to do, and they will get the appropriate consequences when their time is up.

For the same reason he allows aldulters, liars, theives and all us other sinners to exist. No one deserves the mercy of God, but it is there should we choose to take advantage. God bless.

I believe in God too and I know there is an answer to this, but I have no idea what it is. This is one thing that I just don't get.

God gave man free will but everyone will be punished for what they do in this life if they haven't repented.

balance between good n evil...this is quite related to freewill...He gave us freedom to do/choose what we want to do in our life..it's really up to us..He just set the rules. we either follow or ignore them. if there are no evil ppl in this world, what would the world be?? how can humans know this is against the rules or not, how can we become a better person if all we have around us are only good. how cn we fulfill our purpose in life if there's only good in this world..how can we? He grieves about these murderers/molesters/bad ppl, you know. These ppl chose to be what they are now...It's sad that they chose to be evil when instead they can do good. BUt God gave us freedom to do what we want so ... that's it...

N't at all. How is it possible that God made this world with full attention and made beautiful creatures in this world and He'll like to see everything wrong here. Neverrrrrrrr, God do n't want to see all bad deeds in the world. God likes piece and wants to see his each and every creature happy.

Because God made us all and gave us free will - in other words, the ability to choose between good and evil. God doesn't hate the person to whom he gave life but he may hate his actions. He allows people like this to exist because he loves all of his creation, even those who have sunk to such depths that it seems that there is no redemption for them. Since God loves them, so should we too. That is an impossibly hard lesson for most of us.

Well, there must be a balance in the society. We can't be just having good people in the world. Then we wouldn't need to have police.

No He didn't. He created everyone equal with their own minds and choices. Those awful people are from the spirit of the devil.

I have as well. I'm sure God has a reason, but I guess it is not for us to know the reason.

That's what I think. God doesn't allow them to exist, but Satan corrupted their minds to do something so horrible.

We are created by God with the freedom to choose. We have the ability to choose God's will or the will of the world. The world is a cruel place. God is full of love and grace. Those that abuse. molest, murder, etc... are choosing the way of the world. Not the way of the Lord. God doesn't "allow" people to do these things, He allows us to make our own choices in this world.

God tests us. Look at the tragedies in that happened recently. School children murdered. The victims families praying for the murderers families. Forgiveness.

maybe because God does not exist, and those who abuse were abused themseves when they were young.. it's too easy to say it's god or devil fault... god and devil are inside us!

I'm not saying it's God's fault or the Devil's fault. The fault lies with the murderer. I do believe that God exists, I'm just asking why he allows these things to happen.

I believe God gave us the gift of freewill. Sadly some individuals take advatage of this and innocent people get hurt. It is people that make this world evil, not God.
