Check out the first two chapters in Job for some insight on this issue. Can God be in control of evil forces and still be good? I don't mean that He directs them per se but He has a watchful eye on them. He allows evil, doesn't He. Sure He has the power to stop it but He doesn't for our benefit. karen
