If it wasn't for God, there wouldn't be any limbs at all, or even life.

Cool

Why god allow those criminals to do bad things in the community and other people?
If god is the only one that has the right to take the life of any person then why murderers exist?
if god is the only one to allow limbs why did he allow a rapist to do it to their victim and some of them got pregnant?

In other words, why does God allow people to do anything?

When God made the world, there was no evil or bad. God had a perfect relationship with mankind. This relationship was based on a righteous connection between mankind and God. The connection was (and remains) that whatever a person wanted to do, all he/she could do was choose it. Then God made the physical and mental happenings of the choices mankind made.

In other words, man can't do anything. All man can do is wish. Then God makes all the physical and mental things happen, to do what a person wants. Originally, this was all based on love, and perfect relationship between God and man.

When man broke the perfect relationship by wishing for something evil and imperfect, God could have simply destroyed mankind on the spot. But he didn't do that. Instead He sent a man who was God at the same time. This was Jesus.

Jesus remained perfect in this life. And because He was God as well as man, He could take the destruction punishment that God should have given mankind for breaking the perfect relationship. This is what Jesus did. He suffered the torments of Hell for mankind, and even died.

Because of the perfect relationship Jesus maintained with God, death couldn't hold Him. He awakened from death, like the Bible teaches, and is alive right now and forever. This was the way that He, and God as a whole, overcame the imperfection of mankind. In other words, God is turning the bad that people do into 'no effect' through Jesus.

It hurts to get hurt. When someone does evil things to you, it hurts. I don't like pain any more than anyone else. But when I die - we all die - the pain and the remembrance of it will be gone from my life. But God will remember.

God wants perfect people. He will raise us all from death, just like Jesus was raised. The important thing is to be found on God's side, in favor of God, at the time of the resurrection. The only way to be found on God's side is to become on His side in this life. And the method for becoming that way is to believe in the salvation of Jesus, and then to willingly stop being evil in this life as much as possible.

This life lasts for a moment of, say, 100 years. The life that God will raise all people to will be a life that lasts forever. There are two basic judgment directions that God will do at the time of the resurrection. Those who were on God's side in this life by believing in Jesus salvation, and by attempting to live the righteous life that God asks for, will receive a life of increased living in joy and goodness, with God, forever, in Heaven. Those who did not accept Jesus, and did not attempt to good in this life, will receive a life of continual destruction, away from God, forever.

In other words, ponder the above, to see the answer to your questions, and to see that your questions are not really relevant for life.

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely do not like pain or evil, even though I am stuck in both at times. God has given me a chance to accept life - and He is doing this for you as well. Choose Jesus salvation, doing good, and eternal life... rather than doing evil, unbelief, and eternal death. Choose now, and choose well, because when this short life is over, whatever you have chosen will last for eternity.
