God never wills moral evil to anyone. He may will/allow physical evil (pain, hunger, sickness, death) when it will serve to achieve a greater good (e.g., repentance, avoidance of danger). What exactly that is I have no idea....I just trust in Him.

If God allows you to shoot out my kneecaps and that makes you repent and turn to him. I'll take that pain for you. It was worth it. ....;)
Millions of examples.

Unfortunately you know very well that God is omnibenevalent:rolleyes: , and He will never allow me to shoot out your kneecaps to make me repent and turn to him, that is why you can boast and claim to be ready to take that pain:bounce

God gives us free will; GC, however much you feel you can make fun of our belief in his nature, I do believe that being shot in the knee caps will bring about good - the love and caring from nurses and doctors, other people going out of their way to be kind...........you may think it stupid, but that is not what we think - I don't poke fun atyour beliefs; I don't see why you feel the need to make fun of mine.......:sarcastic

No, I am not making fun. I am just stating a logical arguement that I could not find answer. Even introducing FREE WILL into the arguement does not allow an ominibenevalent allowing 'free will' to justify someone argueing about shooting the knee caps. This is just I am holier than thou attitude. It will lead us to no where.
