Still, the complaint is, in the end, translatable to: "If God was any good, why didn't He makes us simultaneously free and not-free?" I know there's supposed to be no such thing as a stupid question, but that strikes me as a ... well ... stupid question.

I just don't think people realize how real and mighty and loving God really is sometimes. There are some things I admit that I do not understand why God allows, but I also am aware that his ways are higher than our ways and He is sovereign and knows the future and is in control over all, so I will focus on what I do understand and continue to worship and praise Him for who He is and continue to pray until He comes or takes me home.

Unbelievably, there are those who don't enforce God's basic rules of decency in their own families, letting one bad apple upset the entire structure. Too many people have fallen for the line that being Christian means always being "kind" or "loyal." Well, it's not very kind or loyal to let your loved ones continue down the path to hell - with your blessing. I always think of Eli in these circumstances, and God's judgment on him for not rebuking his evil sons. (1 Samuel 3) The Hope Blog had a good post about this subject a while ago: http://ingridschlueter.wordpress.com/2009/03/05/dealing-with-toxic-people/ Thought-provoking and well-stated, Rebecca.
