Difficult to answer, but here's an example to chew on:

A benevolent Lord creates children and says to them, regarding their path, "If you stay to the right you will have life, love and abundance, but if you go to the left you will find death, hate and suffering. I love you, so I'm advising you: stay to the right."

He respects them as intelligent children and gives them freedom to choose. They choose to go left.

Who is at fault?

Btw... I don't think anything in here is an attempt to convert anyone to anything. Its a spiritual discussion from multiple perspectives that gives us all food for thought. So please, jump in and swim with us if you like. The water's warm.

I'm not looking to convert anyone either...


Check out a ward full of terminally ill children, did they have a choice to go left or right?

Born with genetic defects and incurable illness, these children had a choice of how to come into this world?

These precious children had a choice to suffer on this plane?

























I kept getting thrown out of Sunday school because I repeatedly did the ONE unforgivable thing in the eyes of the church.

Asked questions...
