Why does God allow cancer to mutate in the first place in somebody innocent?
To somebody who smokes a pack a day, I can see the justice in getting lung cancer.
What I can't grasp is somebody healthy and completely innocent having their cells randomly attack themselves into a stage of lethal cancer (prostate, breast, etc.). Cancer is genetic as well as environmental, meaning people thousands of years ago could have died of cancer and just had no idea what it was that killed them. So I would reject the argument that it's a result of our influence on the environment.
Assuming that God is all-powerful, I can't quite understand why he would allow this to happen to people he loves.

So you argument is that a loving God would not allow a person He loved to suffer?
What of this life? is this life not suffering? Is Death not freedom from this life is death not our birth into eternity? So in a sense to live is to suffer to die is find peace and freedom.
Which types of death are on your approved list?
MY BROTHER,
We live in a fallen world! There is very little about our World which remains according to God's original plan, especially man and his sinfulness. "The wages of sin is death" sums up the answer to your question. Some die from one cause, some another, but death itself is universal.
Most cancers are traceable to one type of pollution or another in the environment, and stem back to man's destruction of the integrity of our physical world. Most carcinogens, as you probably know are produced directly by humans. Why would you expect God to rescue us from our own ungodly folly--especially when we are all under a death sentence already?

Jesus Christ was nailed to a cross by Romans at the behest of the Jewish religious leaders. He did not die of cancer.

MY BROTHER,A classic dodge of the question.
This is not about man's impact on the environment, it is about the random genetic mutation that occurs to produce cancer in innocent humans.
MY BROTHER,
#1. There are no "innocent humans."
#2. Sinful man's impact upon God's creation has much to do with the state of the world today--a state which atheists and other non-thinker attempt to blame on God. A prime example beyond your cancer red-herring, is another thread which asks why God allows starvation in so much of the world. The answer is, of course, that God has nothing to do with it--the 1st world nations WASTE enough food each day to feed everyone in the 3rd world. God has provided/we have wasted. And etc.
If you are unable to respond to the answers you receive to the rather sophmoreish questions you feel driven to ask beyond your "a classic dodge of the question" mantra, perhaps there are other, less tedious, ways for you to amuse yourself.
ABBA'S FOOL,

Again, a classic dodge of my original question.
I blame nothing on God personally as I do not think he is there to blame. It is on you to explain God's reasoning for the allowance of innocent death due to cancer.
Answer my question or stay out of this thread; I don't mean to be hostile but I'm not interested in any sidestepping of my question.
Here's the answer to your question; People die from cancer because the wage of sin is death. It is that simple. That is the justice of God on display in all of its glory.
Absolutely disgusting. How is a random attack of cancer a 'sin'?
Explain how there is glory in an innocent (perhaps Christian) mother dying of breast cancer.
How is this justified?

didn't dodge your question, within that book you will get your answers. If you want answers.Assuming that God is all-powerful, I can't quite understand why he would allow this to happen to people he loves.
A classic dodge of the question.
