Is God able but not willing to prevent evil or willing but not able to prevent evil?

He is able to but some times allows it to happen. Just like a parent should not (bubble their child) Protect them from everything and they learn nothing.

You're forgetting the reason a parent shouldn't protect their child from everything. Because they won't always be around to do so, and if that weren't the case they certainly would do everything they could for their child. But cold, neglectful immortal God looks at a starving kid in Africa and turns it into a freaking contest to see who sends the most money.

In no way is God about money. If the amazing analogies above do not convince you, I will try one more time. I don't have close to the amount of ability to comprehend why He does what He does. I just know He does it, and in the end he has a great plan for all of us following His plan.

Maybe it's not about who sends money and who doesn't, maybe God just likes to watch people rot.

Is God both able and willing to prevent evil?

Someone once said that if God can stop evil but is not willing, he's malevolent and if he's willing but not able, he's not omnipotent. Ties in with "Is not saving someone's life is the same as killing them?" How do religious people cope with God and evil?

My response to:Someone once said that if God can stop evil but is not willing, he's malevolent and if he's willing but not able, he's not omnipotent.? did not show up after i submitted it. why is that and lost all of it.

If everything that exists does so only by the command of God, then the so-called "Devil"--with all his evil deeds--has to be also a creation of this God. So isn't God the perceptual background to absurdity?
