As always, you are a master of posts with contradictory statements. See the first two in your post.

There is no contradiction.
God is responsible for both the good and the bad things that happen.
Cancer is bad but God did not create cancer.

Then who created cancer?

Nobody created cancer, it occurred naturally. Cancer has many causes but God is not one of them.

There will not be another Messenger of God until at least 2852 AD.
Anytime after that there might be a another Messenger.
Messengers will continue to be sent by God throughout human history.

No, cancer is not a result of free will.

Now this is a mystery. May be we should call Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. Bond also will be able to get at the root of this with his rough and tumble tactics.
God does not create it. Humans do not cause it because of their free will. Then who creates it? Satan. But Bahais do not believe in existence of Satan.
Trailblazer, can you kindly unroll the mystery?

Naturally? Who or what caused it to occur naturally?

Interesting. I wonder if anyone will remember to check that by 2852. Gives me sci-fi vibes, hopefully the next Messenger will be a cyborg

If you sell a car to somebody knowing that they're going to use it to kill people, then you're an accessory to those deaths, but no car salesman knows what anyone is going to do with the car they buy.

And here is the difference between a human salesperson and God.

God knows, so God is responsible.

People can choose either good or evil because they have free will. No, God is not responsible for what people choose to do with their free will.

The person who kills someone with his car has free will, but you just agreed that a car salesperson who sold him the car knowingly would be responsible for the death.

You keep contradicting yourself, so it's time to ask you again: what do you believe? Do you think that one person's free will absolves others of responsibility for their role in the the person's actions?

- if yes, then nobody is an accessory to someone else's crime.
- if no, then your whole "God can't be responsible because people have free will" thing is nonsense.

The choice is yours. A yes or no answer, please.
