following:

Why does a God of love permit suffering?

The Holocaust, 911, children with cancer, etc, etc. He has the power
to stop it. Why don't He?

The real question being ignored: why doesn't God keep me from
sinning.

He desires us to follow him of our own free will and commitment. He gave the Born Again ones the power of His Holy Spirit to do so, should we truly seek him with all out heart.

Lucifer in heaven of his own free will made his choice to sin and drew away 1/3 of all the angels in heaven to follow him, and his path led to hell, and later to the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. Why? When he had all the blessings
of God.

God is looking for Sons, not Robots without a will and a strong desire for
all that is Good and peace and Love. His sacrifice saved us from much in this life as well as unto an eternity with him, Is God not worthy?
Really? Is He not worth all our love and commitment?

We are, after all. to consider ourselves dead to sin, in this life.

Should we behave to our wives better than our marriage to Him?

Yes, as Jesus said, the greatest commandment is:

-- King James
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Now reason on this:

-- American Standard
Deuteronomy 6:5 and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Mt 22:37 basically quotes Deut 6:5. If you are quoting someone, you
want the words to be as exact as possible. Notice Deut 6:5 instead of
"Lord" it says "Jehovah". Then it should be the same in Matthew.

The NWT makes the correction, which should conform to the original:

(Matthew 22:37) He said to him: oaYou must love Jehovah your God with
your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.A
(NWT)
