Does this help? The article is called "Why does God allow the innocent to suffer?"?

Question

http://www.gotquestions.org/innocent-suffer.html

Answer 1

That article totally dodged the issue. Why should the innocent suffer AT ALL? It only addressed suffering at the hands of sinners... it didn't address suffering caused by natural phenomena like windstorms and earthquakes and hail and tornados and hurricanes, by disease, by cancer, by pregnancy complications, by machines malfunctioning and taking off body parts, etc etc etc.

Show me an article covering THAT sort of thing, explaining why God turns a blind eye to this kind of suffering.

Answer 2

That's about the most idiotic thing I've read this week. Thanks for wasting my time. When are you idiots going to stop using that free will argument and face the fact that your invisible sky-daddy is an evil s.o.b.?

There are about 2 groups of scripture in the Old Testament that support "free will". There are about 9 scriptures in the New Testament that support pre-destiny.

Your own "holy" book has more support for pre-destiny than for free will. The rest of that article was so retarded, I don't even know where to begin!

Let me just say this in response to it. Your invisible friend doesn't give a tinkers damn about innocents. Read your Bible. According to the Bible, your god and his minions have no compunction or remorse about murdering innocent men, women, children or infants. God doesn't keep innocents from dying. He makes it happen! In one instance alone, the Bible claims that your gods lackeys murdered 1,000,000 innocent Ethiopians!

Answer 3

Yeah, that's pretty accurate. Free will is both a blessing and a curse among human thought, and unfortunately, hurting other people to make your OWN life better is just the easier thing to do. :S God is powerless to change how you think, but He does try each and every effort to convince people to treat each other with civility.

Answer 4

So when you come out of it you will be rewarded but only if you had rely on him for your help.

Answer 5

Jesus had a special sense of mission to poor and oppressed people. At the outset of his ministry, sometimes referred to as Jesus' mission statement, Jesus stood up in the synagogue at Nazareth and read from the prophet Isaiah:

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (Luke 4:18-19)

The biographies of Jesus depict him repeatedly reaching out to those at the bottom of the social pyramid--poor people, women, Samaritans, lepers, children, prostitutes and tax collectors. Jesus was also eager to accept people who were well-placed, but he made clear that all, regardless of social position, needed to repent. For this reason, he invited the rich young man to sell all of his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor. (Matthew 19:16-30, Luke 18:18-30, Mark 10:17-31)

Jesus commanded, "Love your neighbor." When asked to define "neighbor," Jesus expanded the traditional meaning of the word--defining our neighbor as anyone who is in need, including social outcasts: "But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed." (Luke 14:13)

In his portrayal of the day of judgment, Jesus pictured people from all nations gathered before him, separated into "sheep" and "goats." (Matthew 25:31-46) To the "sheep" he says, "Come you blessed of my Father, for I was hungry and you fed me..." In their astonishment they ask, "When did we do that?" And he answers, "When you did it to the lowliest of my brothers (and sisters)." Conversely, to the "goats" he says, "Out of my sight, you who are condemned, for I was hungry and you did not feed me..."

Jesus himself cared for those in need by feeding the hungry. Crowds of four thousand (Mark 8:1-13) and five thousand (Mark 6:30-44) had assembled to listen to Jesus. They soon became hungry. When his disciples suggested that Jesus send the people away to buy food, he responded by saying "I have compassion on these people..." and "you give them something to eat." He proceeded to perform miracles to feed these large crowds of hungry people.
