Why would a loving God allow bad things to happen?

God is the head of everything in heaven and on earth. Acts 17,24. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; He’s known as God the father, then there’s Jesus Christ who is known as God the Son, and the Holy Ghost is known as God the Holy Ghost. The Trinity. God allows “punishment” for those who are disobedient to Him. Children of God are punished when they ignore God’s word, the scriptures in the Holy Bible. God is a God of love, truth, and righteousness. Ezekiel 14:9,10,11, says, And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him; That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD. Think of loving parents Mr. and Mrs., who have children that misbehave. What would Mr. and Mrs. Do if they came home from work and found their children had set their backyard a blaze? After the firemen put the fire out and left their backyard a mess, Mr. and Mrs. Would be very upset with their children for misbehaving. Known for the good loving parents they are, they had to put the children on punishment for what they’ve done. Bad things are going to happen, but it is usually the fault of people. God doesn’t allow bad things to happen; people allow bad things to happen. People choose to do bad things, and it overlaps on those who don’t. You’ve heard the scenario on guns, “Guns don’t kill people, people with guns kill people.” God loves us, just as loving parents loves their children, even when they misbehave, but there are consequences.

What Evelyn feels

I am a BBW. My siblings told me I have a beautiful face, but if I were to lose the weight, I would be a knockout, a fox, etc. I was born 5 pounds and something ounces. I started gaining weight at the age of five-years-old. Ever since I can remember, I have been fat-shaming myself because I was taught to be ashamed of being fat, heavy, overweight, etc. I’ve had several close friends and even male-friends who would tell me not to be ashamed of my weight and to be confident, but it didn’t work. I’d look down at myself with anger. I tried eating the right foods and ended up so hungry I’d stuff my face, the entire night. I would eat only certain foods; but some I really don’t like and others I am allergic to, I won't eat. Some people who know me and who fat-shame would tell me, “For someone who doesn’t eat or are allergic to so many types of foods; why are you so big?” I'd only shrug, because I think maybe I am not allergic to junk food, the food that’s not good for me but I like and is known as the comfort food. This is just something I deal with almost every day.
