From a different perspective: God is far from being 'non-intervening'. There is no evil he cannot overcome. He renews not only the face of the earth, but our life when evil/bad enters in. This new creation takes time, but it does come about.My answer is the Creator is a non-intervening "God". He created life and set the initial conditions and then just let nature take it's course. Simple as that.
Jesus would not have been political at all. Only sanctimonious Democrat supporters would make such a claim.Only of you think he would have been a republican.
My perspective is that God chooses to not intervene so as to not to disturb the natural evolution of his creation.From a different perspective: God is far from being 'non-intervening'.

YOu kids would have forced him to be a democrat.Jesus would not have been political at all. Only sanctimonious Democrat supporters would make such a claim.
Currently we have a world government in the World Economic forum and NATO that is 100% secular and preaches the climate cult and new gender theories where they can't tell us what a woman is and that men can get pregnant but insist that children can get their wing wangs surgically removed cuz they should undergo a sex change to match their gender.Theists Don't Explain Anything. It's All "God's Will."
Superior creative minds are the only thing literally "supernatural," because they conquer nature and prevent its disasters. Theists just passively accept it all and do nothing. There's not one evil that geniuses don't have the ability to eventually prevent. All of today's cures could have been invented millennia ago. But supernatural minds have been shackled by jealous believers in superstition.
As usual, you run away from the nonsensical assertion THAT YOU MADE and start pointingYOu kids would have forced him to be a democrat.
An immigrant of color, feeding poor people, healing sick people, preaching peace and unity?
You kids would have said "libtard" and turned your noses up.
God's touch is so light, much of the time it goes unnoticed and it takes a sharp eye to even sense it. Perhaps God does take great care that he does not do what might seriously disturb natural evolution.My perspective is that God chooses to not intervene so as to not to disturb the natural evolution of his creation.
He was apolitical.Only of you think he would have been a republican.
Because He didn't want robots. Even the angels are able to think for themselves.
I think if God made us perfect like himself from the beginning and still gave us free will, this would not constitute being a robot or God being a tyrant. He would simply be making us like himself and then giving us the same free will that He has. So I don't think this is a good response to the professors idea that if God is all powerful, all knowing and all loving then why didn't he simply create us to be perfect like himself? God certainly has free will and always chooses to do good!Why there is evil in the world: Because God is not a tyrant. Whatever he creates he sets free, and so bad things do happen. When tragedy strikes, God also has the power to overcome that tragedy, which brings about good.
But that goes against the religion of the day, even in the church you have Left wingers like the Black Liberation Theology that think they need to have the state redistribute wealth as the plan of God to the poor.He was apolitical.
The notion that God is love is the keyI think if God made us perfect like himself from the beginning and still gave us free will, this would not constitute being a robot or God being a tyrant. He would simply be making us like himself and then giving us the same free will that He has. So I don't think this is a good response to the professors idea that if God is all powerful, all knowing and all loving then why didn't he simply create us to be perfect like himself? God certain has free will and always chooses to do good!
I said it that way because pompous Democrats love to claim that Jesus WOULD HAVE been a Democrat. I don't believe Jesus would have been a fan of fetal murder.He would not be political?
He was not political.
He sought no political orifice, not even to appeal to them.
He knew they only care about dollar signs and power.
There's always been a cosmic battle between socialism and free market. So sure, but Jesus was not political. His message was a personal message, not a societal message.But that goes against the religion of the day, even in the church you have Left wingers like the Black Liberation Theology that think they need to have the state redistribute wealth as the plan of God to the poor.
Leftism is the most successful religion of our day.
Obama was one of those.
His message encompassed all of human endeavor, granted, he was not as myopic as caring about election results like us mere mortals, and as I have said, his kingdom is not of this world, as it is fallen and corrupt and temporal.There's always been a cosmic battle between socialism and free market.

Simple: The answer is found in the Word of God. Its men that choose to do evil through the gift of Free Will. The reason for the reboot with the great flood. "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." -- Genesis 6:5. God was repentant (sorry) that He had created man on the earth.....God was grieved in His heart......" vs .6:6When I was in college and took a philosophy of religion course, I was presented with the "problem of evil" paradox that has been made in the philosophies of religion. It goes something like this:
If God is an all powerful, all knowing, and an all loving being, then why is there evil in the world?
In other words, if God is all powerful, He would have the power to not allow evil in the world. If God is all knowing, He would have the know how to stop evil from being in the world. And, if God is an all loving and benevolent God surely He would not allow evil into the world! So, since there is evil in the world, then God cannot exist.
This is how the problem of evil was presented to me in my philosophy of religion course. After studying this "problem of evil" for several years upon hearing it, I finally came up with my LDS response to why there is evil in the world and why God allows it. I am curious as to how others answer this philosophical issue. So I ask all God fearing believers, how would you respond to this?
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?Though it is true that in the Garden of Eden the lamb would lie down with the lion but then Adam and Eve transgressed the command to not partake of the forbidden fruit and thus death, suffering, and evil began in the world. My professor would argue, "Why didn't God, who is all powerful, all knowing, and an all loving God simply make man perfect like Himself and he could have all the free will and yet make perfect decisions and never choose evil and never bring evil into the world?"
