C. S. LEWIS QUOTE:
"God whispers to us in health and prosperity, but, being hard of hearing, we fail to hear God's voice in both. Whereupon God turns up the amplifier by means of suffering. Then his voice booms."

2 peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

THIS VERSE EXPLAINS WHY U DONT BELIEVE GOD'S WORD
2 PETER 3:3
First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."

My friend had an ex-boyfriend who made her suffer as a means to get her attention. We called him an abuser and a stalker, not a good and gracious Deity. The police agreed with us.

Nope. Just shows me a person who has a God that is most obliging in that his God will be mean to him if he wants.

Sounds like BS to me. God speaking: Oh, you humans are doing fine? Wham! That'll teach ya!

Lol, no. If we can't hear god then that's god's fault.
"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to... If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?"

No, it shows me the writers can't face reality and have become delusional.

No. If we are hard of hearing to start then we couldn't possibly be of health and prosperity.
