Question for the Christians posting.

I mean no disrespect as I was raised Catholic myself but I've started questioning a lot. I have a question that no one's ever been able to answer. If everything that happens is God's will, then why do innocent children die of cancer every day, why are they born with horrific birth defects, why would God want a child to suffer in this way? From a mom who's lived it first hand.

I'm sorry about what you've lived through. The truth is most people don't really want the answer to that question, and another majority doesn't like the answer. The reality is we all live in sin - and we certainly live in a fallen world, meaning there is sin. So while many of us are good (and innocent) by the world's standards, none of us are by God's standard. The good news is that he's given us a way out - through the plan of salvation that goes through His Son Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection. If you've heard this before and rejected it, well.. it's still true... it's the greatest truth in the world, and understanding that is the start to having peace about it.

If God created this world then it is not good or innocent either

@CookieLuvsBunny Not sure what is meant by that.

Sorry I was ambiguous. If God created this world full of suffering then God is not innocent or blameless either
