Why does God allow bad things to happen to people and the world?

  • Christian Chat is a moderated online Christian community allowing Christians around the world to fellowship with each other in real time chat via webcam, voice, and text, with the Christian Chat app. You can also start or participate in a Bible-based discussion here in the Christian Chat Forums, where members can also share with each other their own videos, pictures, or favorite Christian music.

    If you are a Christian and need encouragement and fellowship, we're here for you! If you are not a Christian but interested in knowing more about Jesus our Lord, you're also welcome! Want to know what the Bible says, and how you can apply it to your life? Join us!

Thank you so very much everyone for sharing your thoughts, your experience and your wisdom by way of answering my question. I have learnt and I continue to learn a great deal from your replies. If I may, I shall take each individual reply, give my full consideration and, should I have any thoughts that I might offer in return, I shall send them to you as a direct message. Thank you again and may God strengthen your journeys and bless your every day.
