passerby: you all claim to love your god. Let me ask you something- why is there wars and pain and suffering in this world? why are there homeless children on the streets if he claims he loves everyone?
Firstly, there are all these problems because of sin. All these problems are directly caused by sin. Sin entered humanity when Adam and Eve ate the fruit which they were not supposed to eat. God did not want us to sin, he just created the boundary and we crossed it. God can prevent us from sinning but that would not be love now would it? For example, if you wanted to be an artist but your dad wanted you to take up the family business. If your dad forced you to take up the business, would that be love? God could force us all to believe in Him at birth, but He didn't do that because it wouldn't be love. It would be loving Him because we are forced to. We would just be robots. For example, your father does not force you to love him, you love him out of choice.
I hope this answers your question.
