Is it God's will that little children are starving and dying of disease around the the world?

Is it God's will that you commit sin against Him as all have done?

Of course not! So we see that all His will is not being carried out in this world.

Why does God not stop this and force His will? Why did He not stop Adam and Eve from bringing sin into this world which is the cause of all heartache and misery in this world?

It is plain to see that God has given man the ability to defy His perfect will on this earth!

John 5:40

"And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life."

We also see that man can choose to refuse Christ!

So why does God give us this latitude?

Deut. 13:3-4

"Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him."

He proves us and knows who loves Him!

He wants us to love Him with all our heart and souls, and willingly serve Him of our own free will!

Like the area in the east that fell is associated with the mark of the beast, as it is money minded in the mark on the forehead and the deeds of the right hand, as God witness these atrocities, where these are the will of God for His wrath on greed against man ..... So beware what you support of this one ....... Still there are countless people praying for their lives and areas in the world will reduce the ideas of people with no hope .... See God will have His victory as His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom which goes on forever......... Jesus Christ is the answer, so who ever rejects Jesus will be strange to heaven

It is the issue I was talking about Charlie, I told you what it was, and until people fully realize that they do not have the capability to be their own god, will He step in and end the madness.

Waiting for God to come and solve the problem of evil is NOT our task. We do not have to move the entire mountain of evil as individuals. As Ginsburg said, "The world is a mountain of sh*t and if it is to be moved at all, it must be taken in handfuls." We each need to take our individual handfuls wherever and whenever we have the ability to do so.

And resist the urge to fling those handfuls at others.

I take a different view, Charlie. If God wants something to be, then it is. To exist is to be desired by God. God's will is inviolable because "God's will" and "what happens" both mean the same thing. Can it be otherwise with our Lord, the greatest of all conceivable beings?

God's will is manifested every moment in the world exactly as it is.
