Q.238: "How come there is sin in the world and God be in control of everything and God is holy?”
Oh boy…that old problem!
When God created humans He had a problem – a big decision: ‘Should I give these people a choice to be good or bad, or should I make them all have to obey my instructions, then there would be no chance of any sin (so no problems)?’
Think of today’s world of 7,000,000,000 people all obeying God’s commandments and instructions with no wars, killing, stealing, rape, and lies. It would be like a heaven full of robots who have no choice but to obey God. Not really pretty if you think about it.
God must be pleased with His decision to give humans a choice to be good, or bad. Those who choose to ‘trust and obey’ God, must be pleasing to God – and they will populate heaven with Him later. Even though they still make many mistakes and wish they had not, God is pleased to forgive if we ask.
