Question:  How can a Christian God who is all powerful, all loving and all knowing allow suffering in the world?

Answer: 

That's a tough question - and one that people have been asking throughout time. There are a few places that I would like to direct you. One, the book of Job in the Bible. One of the central themes of the book of Job is how just God is, even in the midst of human suffering.

The other place I'd like to direct you words an answer much better than I ever could: http://www.americancatholic.org/Newsletters/CU/ac0702.asp

God bless you!
