what are these red marks? do you by chance mean something like welts? and
i cant help what you dont understand.
but, re the notion that God brings trouble into the world- take a look at
the following brief examples:
Is 24:1,
Is 45:7 (where God says- I create evil) (hmmmmmm.....)
Jer 13:16
Jer 18:11
etc....
Im sure, Peter, if you try you may even be able to find some of these sorts
of texts on your own- unless your welts hinder you.
