Arminians teach that evil activity happens by mere permission of God.
Well, there are people who say that because God loves us He gives us free will to do the awful things people do. But if you are a father . . . do you love your child by letting him or her run into the street or do drugs and break rules of the house?
"For whom the LORD loves He chastens" (in Hebrews 12:6).
"But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons." (Hebrews 12:8)
So, if people are being allowed to keep on in evil activity, they have a problem.
Was He sovereign during the Holocaust?
Of course He was sovereign.
The holocaust and the Paris terrorist attacks can show us that it is a good idea to do only what it is worth dying to do. And these disasters can show how we need to always obey how our Father takes care of us.
Because if we do not go where He wants us, we are outside His care and protection. If you go on a safari and ignore your guide's advice, you could walk into the middle of a pride of lions or get gored by a Cape buffalo coming out of the bush at you after you have wounded it. Ones have wounded ISIS, and now they are coming out of the bushes; be ready for what comes with wounding a wild animal.
If humans are capable of murdering their own unborn, so they can have the lives they want, I would say do not be surprised if evil religious people can kill and torture others, in order to enforce what they want. Humans are like this, already, in all countries . . . as we have seen in Germany, how the United States has done things in order to take lands from sovereign peoples, and now ISIS. The United States has in past history done the same sort of thing, I consider. This is how things work in Satan's kingdom.
Going back, I remember how I was fine with American troops taking down Saddam Hussein. But with him out of the way, ISIS has been able to set up. So, the world can work in its sort of "mysterious ways" to help its own.
Also, about the Holocaust . . . were the Jews obeying their Messiah Jesus, or were they going to Germany on their own, or because of being dispersed because of their rebellion; were they confessing their Messiah Jesus, or living in rebellion? The early scriptures are very clear that the Jews were God's people and so they were not to form alliances with people who were not honoring God. And, like I offer > if you rush into something in order to get what is for you only, you are operating in Satan's kingdom and so consequences aren't going to be fair. Sin is not fair > a little child can in a brief moment of foolishness ignore Mommy and run into the street and be killed or maimed; no, this is not fair; but if you ignore our Father and refuse to obey how our Father would take care of you, you live outside His care; and outside His care you are where the consequences are not going to be fair.
Plus, by the way, in case you are busy with "judging God" for not judging evil people . . . God's first priority is judging His own children!!! > 1 Peter 4:17. Therefore, if you yourself are busy with criticizing God and judging others, instead of seeking His evaluation and correction of you > you're missing out > Hebrews 12:4-11.
But even if you are obeying how our Father cares for us, it could be that God will lead you to where you could be killed. But if you die while being God's child and doing His will, He brings you to better and better >
"The righteous perishes,
.And no man takes it to heart;
.Merciful men are taken away,
.While no one considers
.That the righteous is taken away from evil."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .(Isaiah 57:1)
I see, among other things about the crucifixion of Jesus, how Jesus considered it worthwhile to suffer and die like He did, so He could get out of this evil world, and be "home" with our Heavenly Father. So, it would be worthwhile to go through anything, in order to with God.
So, if people are dying in a bad way, not benefitting from dying . . . it is "silly" to blame God >
"fear of death" is slavery to Satan, according to what I see in Hebrews 2:14-15. And ones in slavery to Satan can have a way of blaming God when people die or go through hard things which their own sin made them available to suffering.
"Good understanding gains favor,
.But the way of the unfaithful is hard."
