My question to God: Why is there so much violence and war on earth?

God's possible answer: In the beginning of creation all was peace, love and much communion with the first human couple. In the daylight I went down to the garden of Eden and gladly talked with them. So much love and passion did I have for Adam and Eve that I gave them rules to keep them living together in the garden where I placed them. I instructed them to eat of every tree fruit that was in the garden, but, there was one called, the tree of good and evil, of which I ordered them not to eat of it lest they should die. However, as the days went by, Eve became very curious about that tree and let herself be deceived by a serpent who urged her to eat of that forbidden fruit. When she ate from that tree, things began to go wrong, because they entered into disobedience with me, which, as a punishment, brought them to lose communion with me and I had to throw them out of the garden of Eden, since then, the first couple of humans entered into disgrace for their disobedience and for moving away from me, who am their creator.

When I drove them out of the garden, Adam had two sons with Eve, one named Cain and the other Abel. Cain out of envy of his brother Abel killed him and from then on the earth was filled with violence and war to this day. If Adam and Eve had kept themselves in obedience, surely, they would be very happy in the garden with all their descendants and there would be no death in humanity. Disobedience brings violence, war and disease. This is why there is so much violence and war in humanity today. Hate is the enemy of love and love grows with forgiveness. If you want there to be no more violence and war on earth, you must begin by loving each other, forgiving each other so that you can live together as a family.

Great question and answer. I enjoyed reading it and this is the most important thing the Bible talks about. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. If only we can come together to love each other and make peace, the world will never know violence and war. Hatred brings about war and when a fellow hate his fellow, violence is the next option. I hope humans live in love and unity.

Had it been Adam and eve had listened then and not disobey probably there would have not be war and disease this present day.

That is the root of war. When love exist between two people, there cannot be any cause for conflict even though there is misunderstanding, there will be room for forgiveness due to the presence of love. Thanks for sharing
