    Thank you so much for your affirmations of God. I think it and know it but you clarify it. Thank you Jesus for your love of those who are your children.

    One hopes for wisdom, yes. When a Christian person SEES and HEARS evil being done to innocent people, and ‘looks away’, thinking that this evil is a part of God’s ‘plan’,

    what do the Scriptures tell us about the one who tolerates evil passively and does and says nothing to stop it from hurting the innocent?

    I think this helps address my question:
    (from Proverbs 31, this:)

    “…8 Open your mouth for those with no voice, for the cause of all the dispossessed. 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy.”

    Condemning the evil that cuts down the innocent keeps a Christian from being accused of ‘looking away’ and ‘tolerating’ the suffering of innocents at the hands of evil persecutors. To be silent is to be complicit . . . . I believe that is the case in the Eyes of the Good Lord, Who Himself spoke of His own compassion for the suffering who were ‘without a shepherd’.

    God’s ‘plan’: God does not ‘foster evil’, no. Wade is right that God permits ‘choice’ but asks of His children to ‘choose life’. Putin is a war criminal who has ordered the kind of attacks on civilians that are universally considered ‘evil’ because Putin INTENDED for innocents to be harmed, including his bombing of a childrens’ hospital and of a maternity hospital in Ukraine.

    because we are ‘made in the image of God’, we were given the dignity of free choice;
    but God also gave us a ‘conscience’ that helps us to speak up for those who are innocent and who are being persecuted, yes . . . we owe God a debt of love, not of ‘silence’ in the face of evil, God forbid
