I'll ask a question for discussion:
Why did God create a world (or put in place the processes that would create a world) in which the sins of one individual could negatively impact another through no fault of their own?
EDIT: Imagine a hypothetical world in which every action or inaction has a positive or negative consequence, but negative consequences only ever affect the sinning individual never innocent targets or bystanders. This would be a more just world than our current one and if I can imagine it, then I am sure God could too and could make it if He wanted - so why didn't He?
EDIT 2: I have written up helpful answers I have received from various forums here:
Answers: why did God make it so that the sins of one could negatively impact another?
