But God has the ability to fix this situation? No?If he is so just, why does he allow an innocent child to suffer and die? If there is a God and that God can actually interact with the world, I hardly think that God would allow such horrible things to happen.

Perhaps there is an argument to be made for punishment of people who do wrong (although I don't think a true loving God would allow someone to die horribly and suffer pain, even for horrible acts). But if there is an innocent child or frankly an innocent person period who suffers because of some birth defect and God simply allows it...sorry that is immoral.

You mean like His Son, Jesus?

You mean like most of the Prophets, and Apostles.

Children can be martyrs just like adults. The purpose depends on the circumstances. And i guarantee God doesn't look at the situation as we do. Those that suffer innocently are rewarded a hundred times over and more.

godspeed,

freedom

Yes and Jesus will when He returns and cast the devil into eternal hell, until then we are in a fallen sinful world and bad things are going to happen, but praise God he has provided a way for us to over come this.
