Re: I think I agree...somewhat....
'There were multiple possibilities that god does exist but for some reason does not stop it. One is that god can't. '
if God did stop every evil from man's sinful and wicked heart it would quite clearly mean that God had lost by being tempted of evil.evil would have won.every evil act -he would respond,isn't it easier to see that rape and murder is evil from man , otherwise the commandment to not kill would instead be 'i will stop you from killing'.if a man loves his neighbour like Godsaid do then none of us would suffer from rape or murder, but since this wickedness is within our own hearts and we dont love our neighbour we then suffer the prices of sin.

Re: I think I agree...somewhat....
'Why not construct man to be of the kind that they love their neighbor as themselves naturally?'
sin is foreign to God , as said in the bible,indeed God fixed mans sin by coming to earth and being killed in the flesh and suffering for our sin ,what more do you want ,what else would you have him do?
if it is a perfect place with no sin you seek Rhain then seek the kingdom of God.
'But the devil tempts people.
And god turns people's hearts to stone and makes them sin.'
yes evil tempts people yet God still accepts us if we believe in his name.if people truly seek God and good ways then their hearts will care more for good rather than evil.
