Asking from christians,im struggling with this

This is a question that was asked many times before, its basically a form of "if there's God why there's evil", and im angry that people doesnt try to find an answer for this,they just go with the basic asnwer that doesnt have any logic. There is a guy on youtube who talks about this, i will not say any name, many believes what he says its the truth, God doesnt intervene cause we have free will, He knows everything that will happen, He knew you before you were born and He already knows if you will be in heaven or hell. He knows everything that will happen and lets it happen cause He can make good out of it,but if He knows where you will go after this life, why He tries to help you to go to Him,follow His path? Lets take the "He lets bad things happen cause He sees the good that can come after" what about people who choose suicide after an abuse? Is that the great good He saw? I could write many things that contradicts what others say, the only way we will go in that argument will be "we dont know actually why God do some things". Maybe im wrong, but this is a big lie that people believed years ago and now it gets bigger. Many says that in the Old Testament people just blindly believed in God, but thats a lie, God showed them that they can trust in Him, by the things He done to them. And we have to lean to that and the things He does in our life too cause God is still working, He didnt dissapeared after the Old Testament... There is alot of stupid things on the internet that makes God look stupid, and many times i said, but since im with God, im more angry at these people who mislead others than those who doesnt believe in God or hate God. Those are victims to these false image of God that these preachers made. I believe the answer is there somewhere, and I believe and will stuck on it that God is love and He didnt just put us here to watch us suffer and then say its because of free will, you did that... Anyway back to my question, yesterday i watched a video, i will not share the name cause it can be disturbing for some, basically someone makes interviews with people who didnt get the good side of life, and the video was about people who died after the interview, and it was many, i just want to talk about one. There was a guy who told that he was sexually abused by his dad since he was 4, and because of that he became drug addict. Sadly he passed away because of overdose, his story made me so angry and i just got this on my mind that im here who has an easier life, its easy for me to believe, but there are people who grew up getting abused by their parents, the people you should trust no matter what, off course its so hard for them to believe. And it felt this feeling that "God, this is not fair. Im here having a great life and there are some who got the worst life, they doesnt have a chance to experirnce your love. It's not fair". And since then im struggling with this. Im watching videos about why would God let these things happen and all i get are these stupid answers... if God let it happen cause He saw that it could be better, why it didnt? Cause the guy is not with us anymore... if you would say "God could do good from that but the guy choose not to follow God, dont forget, i meantioned that people say God knows the future, then this means that He knew the good will not happen cause if He lets it happen, the guy will die because of it. This shows how little we know about God and we believe what others say. Lets clear that im not against God, im against these false preachers. So if i made you question God, im sorry, stick with Him, even after this i will stick with Him because the good He gave to me, but i will search for answers cause i dont believe that God put us in a world where evil has a greater power, He just watches, the only hope we have is that after death everything will he good, but before that God throw us into this circus where we suffer, and if you dont follow Him, you will go to hell... Of course some see God as an evil god, its because of these things some teach about God. If you have an answer to my question, please share it, alwayd question and pray about the things you hear from others about God, dont just believe it, even this, i will pray to God to help me go through this

God will never force us to love him. Forcing us to love him or act a certain way wouldn’t be free will. We would be slaves. Because of free will people make their own choices. That being good choices or not so good choices. You should talk to your religious leader or a member of a trusted to church for these answers. Or to gain a better understanding. I’m not the best at explaining things but I hope things get easier for you ❤️‍🩹

We don't know why God allows evil. We have speculation. That's what the people you call false preachers are doing, they're teaching their belief, and they could be wrong about it. It's sort of like how Christians strongly disagree about whether Halloween is bad or not. I know it's frustrating to hear someone try to explain something in a way you disagree with, but technically I don't think that's the worst thing to have imperfect theology about. I think the main thing here is that, even when God allows evil and doesn't tell us why He does, we still have faith and trust that He's doing the right thing. Again, I know it's frustrating, and your feelings totally make sense and are valid. Many Christians are in the same boat, asking themselves why He would allow evil.

Its clear that if He would interfere on everything there would be no sin, and we wouldnt learn, and that we have free will, but this just makes it so hard to trust in God. In the Bible we read that if you are with God, you will be protected, that doesnt mean hurt will not come to you but you will be able to recognise it and avoid it or go through on it with God, in a different way, i know cause i had experienced in minor problems that what i used to struggle really badly, now with God i can just go through with it without a problem. Or there are some problems that helps you get better over things, like for me im easily hurted by people and this helped me realize i have to work on this. I believe that with God life is easier, but you have to have a real relationship with Him. But all i hear from these preachers and sometimes i see it too that thats not true, God will not protect you from hurt cause this is a fallen world and you will suffer here. I dont like that view that "you suffer here but in heaven everything will be good" it makes you think that you only deserve good after you went through suffering, i have alot of problems with this "just think about heaven, there will be no suffering but here you have to suffer". Because of these sometimes i do struggle with trusting in God, if the only think He can to is to send me to heaven (if im good enough) but He doesnt protect me here thats just not a loving God...noone asked to be born, God made us, i dont view salvation as we were born to suffer forever but then someone came and gave us salvation... God made us for Him, but we chosed sin, and there comes the salvation, life is not just suffering and everything will be good after death... This gives me a really bad image about God and off course i feel like i cant trust in this God...

@PRIV8 Okay, I hear you. I struggle with the concept of God allowing harm too. You and I have some differing views, but I still hear you. :) And I'm sorry you're having a hard time with this

@Anonymous How do you view it? What is your view?

@PRIV8 I don't think God will completely protect us from harm. Sure, to some extent in this world, and of course in heaven there won't be harm, but that there will still be issues that we will need to overcome, no matter how we act -- although, how we act will also partly determine the amount of troubles we go through. Jesus says in ‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

@Anonymous I did say that we will still have problems but we will view that and handle it differently. But he protect us from some cause many problems comes from our sinful nature. I dont know how a child is responsible for their abuse, but we adults have responsibility what we choose to do.

I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....

My Story TW: grooming, pedohilia

Hello, I've struggled with possible OCD but it didn't involved POCD at first, at first it was basically me denying that I was ever a victim of grooming/pedophilia and how I was the real abuser towards my abusers despite the fact that I was the child, they were the adult, how is that possible??. Then eventually in 2023, I saw a video based on a FNF modder exposing him as a groomer/pedophile, and it was because when he was 17 he allegedly had an interaction with someone who was 15 that was nsfw. Now keep in mind, I was a victim of grooming/pedophilia especially since age 11 and even at 17, however I was also a bit of a promiscuous teen due to years of being groomed and I was having nsfw discussions/heavily sex positive convos with people who were 15/16/17 at 17 and I never considered how that could be inappropriate and my intent wasn't to be predatory but the fact that I was just simply exploring my sexuality, also a lot of the people I was doing this with, we were apart of a discord server that heavily encouraged NSFW convos between Teens and adults and it was made by an adult so bad environment overall made by an actual predator. However it didn't stop me in 2023 thinking that I was a pedophile as a teenager and I was genuinely worried and thought that I was a terrible person and I still do. I only did what I did because I was being hurt and thought it was okay, I never meant to hurt anyone and I at 19 literally convinced myself that I was a pedo in my under 18 teen years because of the age gap between me and my friends {1/2 years} and we had conversations that were sexual based even though I at 19 was dating my BF who was 22/23 at the time, I was 19 having sexual convos with adults, I at 19 had friends that were minors and our conversations were always appropriate and never nsfw or those same friends that I had previous convos with that were nsfw, {they were all either 17/18/19 and I was 19} our conversation topics have switched to more SFW ones unlike the ones we had when we were all minors so how could I be a pedo? and I freaked out about it, I couldn't concentrate in classes at all, it was a genuine nightmare. Eventually I did get better and realized that my behaviors were under duress and how I'm not actually a bad person and how I've changed as an adult and do not wish to harm anyone however I'm back on my cycle of worrying again and I've communicated to the people who I thought I affected and they all express no ill will or any anger and were never uncomfortable, do not think about it or just don't care/simply forgot. But Guilt eats me up like a stray dog. I also sometimes see people on twitter calling 17 year olds dating 15 or 16 year olds pedophiles or calling them "P diddy"

It kinda mind boggling to me how OCD can even cause stuff to happen to us physically as well. And it all feeling real. It only reminds me how flawed our bodies really are. If people were to hear of our situations they'd call us names and choose to stay ignorant. People fear what they cannot understand. Before this I could have possible have been one of them, but here I am. OCD really goes for anybody. Does not matter what ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation you are. It is a twisted disorder that likes to make others lives harder. If I were to tell myself before this that this would happen, I would'nt believe it. I was convinced I am evil, I cried for weeks. I had to sleep in my parents bedroom for a period of time cause I couldn't face the darkness alone. This application helped me greatly during this, cause I learned just as much about OCD as I did about myself. At the same time I get saddened cause I see people going through the exact same, or much worse. If any who come across this post have any questions for me, u can feel free to do so
