If yo were born again and know God you would never ask such a thing as God being unable to do anything!
he could destroy all evil now, but he wont yet

Because some of his chosen sheep are still hypnotized and keeping SUnday and thinkging they are once saved always saved, and they still have to wake up

when all the good hearted people wake up, and get born again then he will release the last plague and all the incorrigables will die.

Look, you only play one tune don't you? It's getting tiresome. Change the record.

You tell me. On second thought, please don't.

I am not at all sure what you are trying to say. I don't believe that "good hearted people" wake up and get born again as the only way that they could become "good hearted" is to be born again first. Thank God that there is ONLY one more plague to be released and not many. It's not so bad really if you think about it in those terms.

He is willing to prevent evil, and He is able. If he is not able then why would He send Jesus Christ to pay our sins? Why would He Himself provided a savior to save us from evil?

God is able and is willing to prevent evil.

Isaiah 45
[5] I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
[6] That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
[7] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Indeed; when people object and say: Why didn't God do this or that? the fact is that it was God Who decided how He was going to intervene into this sorry, sinful world's ways. The Cross of the Lord Jesus which shows His great redeeming love for sinners, is the way God chose to intervene.

Blessings.

Somebody get a gun and shoot this person with a love bullet! Satan, the Lord Jesus Rebukes you. Do you think for a minute that we don't know that you are one of the dead walking? Alive to this world but dead to God your creator and lover of your soul, but you come with brainless questions of no value or merit for that matter. And wake the sleeping and slumbering, how dare you, in the last year 1,000 we put people like you in a locker and throw you our a window, oh what fun? But aside of history (military). we might not love you and forgive us to our shame but our God is not like us, and you can thank Him for that, but really, one day you will stand before Him that has fire in His eyes, and I dare to open your mouth and ask such a question. Be blessed, here in this site you can find the way to salvation, seek it will you can, be blessed and we do love you, although you do make it very difficult at times with this high level of questions? Forgive me, for I am a liar?
