Pan, I am glad that you came to visit and I hope you feel welcome here.

God has allowed evil in the world but instead of stopping evil (and he would have to get rid of all of us because evil and sin exists in all of us at one time or another) He has chosen to pay the price for our sin so that we can receive freedom from the cycle of sin and death. Freedom is a precious thing and I for one am glad that God didn’t just wipe me off the face of the earth when I failed Him and sinned against Him.

I understand your question about assault and I too don’t understand how some can look the other way because it is the man who has committed evil within his own family. This is unjust to be sure. God’s justice is different in that He has promised that He will bring all to account on a day that He has appointed where He will judge the world through Jesus. Everything will be settled at that time and those who think they are getting away with evil now will be called to account.
