We will always hear him only if we are listening. Even when we dont listen he speaks.

the use of common sense is far from getting the answer to this question. we have to take certain concepts here into consideration. " Evil": is good to get this right that evil is not a thing and thus was never created. Evil is the privasion of good(absence of goodness). further more the concept of God shows an all loving God.thus the principle of non-contradiction is applicable here ( something to be present and at the same time not to be present). God alone is the "summum bonum" the highest conceivable good. certainly there is evil in the world perhaps brought by the improper use of our free will in neglect of the good. our free will should lead us to the ultimate goodness which is God. reading the bible as a novel will never get us the right meaning and what those sacred writers wished to communicate under the influence of God.

it was an ugly situation i must admit. but some ideal questions have to be asked and may be a clearer picture of the whole story could be painted. what was the condition of the man: the husband (health wise)? was the family of the husband realy at home with this or they were hidding their feeligs?. it is obvious that am not a woman for they know better how the situation will be for them. the queston here is not about if there is a pregnancy which shows that there is a child rather aborting the child. he acknowledges there is a child but what he can not reconcile is how the child was concieved. i believe that is where the work is. making them understand the situation that befalls humanity at times and to accept life the way they have experienced it. though it is better said than done. i suggest a continues counselling that will help them realise that a child is. what if the husband had been killed how would the story had ended? or in the cause of the abortion both mother and child did not make it? double tragedy with higher intensity. abortion is not an option for they have to handle that experience for the rest of thier lives. we must not forget God in all these: praying for strength and leading you on the right path.
