God, Evil, Free Will and When Bad Things Happen

Excerpts from the Book "Hell" by Bill Wiese, 2008

Psalm 53: The Fool

1
The fool says in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;
there is no one who does good.

2
God looks down from heaven
on all mankind
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3
Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
4
Do all these evildoers know nothing?
They devour my people as though eating bread;
they never call on God.
5
But there they are, overwhelmed with dread,
where there was nothing to dread.
God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;
you put them to shame, for God despised them.
6
Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When God restores his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!
