I hear this quite often, at least in my interconnected circle. Which raises (3) questions.
1. Is whatever God decides to do 'good', no matter what, because it is God whom is doing it?
Because I would imagine it seems that God, both in the Bible, and in the lives of all believers, have said to themselves at least one time or another, especially during 'trying' times, 'God works in mysterious ways'. Or, 'God's ways are above our level of understanding.' Or, 'God does all things according to His will.' It goes without saying, all such sayings are usually issued when the believer tends not to agree, at least on some level, with God's apparent plan.
Two additional questions, continuing from another topic...
If God is Good....
2. Why not instead contain the perpetuating cause of evil, (i.e.) Satan and/or his demons?
3. Why allow evil to continue existing, when it is instead belief, faith, and a relationship with Christ which drives the admittance to heaven? Sin appears to be a by-product everyone on earth commits and experiences regardless of belief/non-belief.
