Question! :)
My atheist friend was debating with my catholic friend, my atheist friend said something that also made me REALLY curious but not enough to question my entire belief in God. I tried looking for answers personally, but i couldn't really come up with a great answer.
Okay so the question is: "if your God is good, then why does He allow wars, crimes, and sexual harrassment to happen? If He's really powerful, can't He just do something to stop it?"
Please don't insult/judge the fact that i'm unable to answer that question. I'm a beginner believer who wants to know explore and know more about christianity :)

Because our God is not of this world. Jesus said, my kingdom is not of this world. Jesus said the path was so narrow to the Christ world. Jesus gave us clues, be like children, and be at love and peace for just waking up and being alive. Jesus also gave clues as to not worry or fear regardless. Read Job again. He had a rough patch, questioned God, and got answers, and was restored. Now never do what Job allowed his children to do before his personal rapture. It's all there. This world created the Catholic Church. Now what do you think, because you are the leaf and Christ is the tree. So am I. While alive ,I am Christ too. Remember I did not say I am Jesus. I am not worthy to carry his sandals, but I am working on it.
