The Problem of Natural Evil

[John V]

He certainly seems to do so:

Galatians 4:4-7

But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Incorrect, as the letter wasn't written to all mankind:

Galatians 1
1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), 2 and all the brethren who are with me,

To the churches of Galatia:

But even if you have some exegesis which wriggles out of this one, so what?

So analogies based on parental responsibilities are shown to be faulty.

What business does God have punishing those over whom he does NOT claim fathership?

They're citizens of the world he created.
