Hi stupidissmart,
I would guess that God did all these because He loves His
creations. And according to His pure justice,
character, will, and
plan, these things required to happen. Yes, He
could simply destroy everything BUT the bible tells us, "For God so
love the world....."
The bible also tells us:
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher
than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. "(Isaiah
55:9)
The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things
revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may
follow all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29)
Read the parable of the weeds and think about it? Does the parable
of the weeds shed some light on why there is suffering in this
fallen world and why God has allow suffering? "And we know that in
all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have
been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28 ) And God still
has ultimate control over everything.
The Parable of the
Weeds
24Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a
man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was
sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went
away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds
also appeared.
27"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow
good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'
28" 'An enemy did this,' he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them
up?'
29" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds,
you may root up the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until
the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect
the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the
wheat and bring it into my barn.' "
(Matthew 13:24-30)
