It's just life. So what if you would not choose a hard life for yourself. If it is your lot to suffer then you wll suffer. The only things is whether you decide to use that gift that suffering to know God better, or as an arguement to entitlement and turn away from God compeletly? Or have you forgotten God's servent Job? He was not being punished in any way shape or form. Job's gain from his trials was a more complete understanding of God. The understanding of Job's lot was also considered to be a gain for every generation that came after him. through a breif period of pain came tremoundous gain. Those who's lot is to suffer, do not suffer in vain.
I think you misunderstood my question. There are people in the world that because of their circumstances never get to experience this agape love. It's a given that they are going to hell and it was out of their control. That is unjust.

[quote]Sin is anything not in the expressed will of God. Evil is a malicious intent to be outside of God's will. How can this be a sin let alone evil? Unless you speak of a righteousness founded apart from the Righteousness of God. a personal sense of Righteousness or a Self Righteousness/morality based on what YOU think is right and wrong. Is it with self righteousness that you judge God?
I meant it is quite evil that God would breathe life into a creation and never give it a chance to make it to heaven.
