Free will has nothing to do with the ravages of nature, which, if you remotely believe God only punishes the guilty, remain the unsolved paradox.Of course not. What God allows is reality and it is up to reality to let the chips fall where they may. He gave us free will and the ability to think and reason.
US evangelical preacher Pat Robertson levied blame Wednesday for the devastating earthquake in Haiti on Haitians themselves, saying that the country "swore a pact to the devil" at its creation.
"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," Robertson said on his Christian Broadcasting Network show "The 700 Club."
Haitians were originally "under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil," said the 80-year-old former presidential candidate.
Oh, aqueous. Why would you choose Pat Robertson?
He is not the spokesperson for Christians. I for one find his views repulsive and I'm Christian.
Oh brother. :/
He is a nice guy , but he likes to bash Christianity , he also mixes up the timing the present withe past and uses as a club for bashing
That's nonsense. If a team of special forces soldiers prevents an atrocity somewhere, they aren't taking away anyone's free will or ability to think or reason.Of course not. What God allows is free will. He gave us the ability to think and reason.

Interesting point. One might say that just because they're following orders does not give them the right to kill, however we might also say that the soldiers had no free will on the matter and God may judge them on that and their commander in chief.
Of course not. What God allows is free will. He gave us the ability to think and reason.
This is why I never help poor people or come to the aid of people in emergencies. I don't want to violate their free will. They can think and reason, so their situation is all their fault.Of course not. What God allows is free will. He gave us the ability to think and reason.

Did all the children and babies that God is shown to kill in the bible also have free will that God respected?
After all, their will would have been to live.
If God could ignore their free will and act against it, why not act against the free will of people doing evil?
Seems like God has a double moral standard just like most Christians do.

God does not simply kill in the way a killer kills. If He did so it would have been for a reason. But that would break a commandment. So unless you can prove that God kills then don't make assumptions or believe on a whim. God does not allow evil in any way whatsoever, so perhaps the individual in question that He killed were evil.
I thought the devil is responsible for all the sin, sickness, sorrow, suffering, crime, poverty and death on this earth. Why did god create the devil? What I was told as a child; God has reasons about which we know nothing.

God did not create the Devil. Greatest I am is misinformed. God created angels, and it was the rebellious act of Lucifer that caused his casting out.
Why did God give his angels the desire to rebel and why did he reward Satan for his with dominion over the earth and the great power of being able to deceive the whole world.
Sounds like your God is either pleased with Satan and his friends or your God is insane for rewarding evil.
Your choice.
