Notice what this scripture says 1John 5:19 We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.
Is Satan causeing all these terrible things? Is he really behind all the government rulers and the things they are doing? Or is he behind false religion, and they are causing it? or both?

God gave us all free will to see who would abuse the gift He gave us when He gave us our lives. Many people choose to do evil things that result in suffering.God is fair, and through His observations of what we each do with our free will He decides who is worthy of going to heaven, and who is not...

I think it follows along the same lines as a parent watching his/her children. You do all that you can for your child but you need to let them go off an make their own mistakes and sometimes they'll get hurt. As a parent you try to be loving, just and strong for your kids but there comes a point where they need to go out on their own. Countries may fight with each other and some people will never get along and this will cause suffering but it doesn't mean that God is any less loving, just or powerful. He gives us the chance to make decisions for ourselves and He does not take over and fix things just because He knows people might get hurt or suffer. If He went around putting a stop to everything and making people do things for the better of human kind then the question would then be "Have you ever wondered why we can't make decisions for ourselves and God stops me if I'm about to do something that could potentially affect someone I don't even know?"

Well, I don't have to wonder about it, it seems rather clear to me. If there were a loving, just, and powerful god, than I'm sure it would be doing something about this suffering you speak of. So, what is it that YOU are doing? It seems as though you are just sitting around talkin about the suffering, god, satan... If we must conclude this question, we must include you as a person within satan's rule, because you don't seem to be helping the suffering by finding where to place blame... this obviously doesn't help the suffering.

As i look at it there are 2 varieties. those we reason which consists of the grief of a widow whose significant different is murdered and those we do not reason. A tsunami wiping out 1/2 the inhabitants of an island. the first I clarify as God performing like the figure of individual little ones. even as a figure can each and every so often remove the consequenses of a childs misdeed they regularly do not even (particularly?) in the journey that they love the newborn. the 2d I truly have not began to detect a passable rationalization to. I understand the former testomony training that misfortune is from God because there is not any different god that it may likely be from.

Maybe we are just the offspring of prisoners sent here by god. Maybe our whole planet is a prison and we are left to deal with ourselves. You must learn The Secret in order to be happy. With The Secret you can be, do or have anything. The secret is think positive while you feel positive. So do not dwell on negative feelings, If you are anti-war then be Pro - Peace, The laws of science say:
LIKE attracts LIKE - so therefore positive happy thoughts = positive happy things. Give thanks, be happy and enjoy what life has to offer.

Suffering is a tool that God can use to help us grow. Satan is no more than a chained dog. Stay in God's Will and he can't lay a tooth on you.

He inspires hate,selfishness,anti-christian persecution,ignore the poor and needed,etc.
Jesus said there would always be poor to help.
People need to help and forgive not mistreat and hoard.Most of the evil in the world is caused by people not God.

sin and greed is the reason there is so much suffering,because the wages of sin is death,because we know that the devil come to kill steal and destroy,but Jesus Christ say I come,so that you may have life and life more abundantly john 10-10,and yes the devil is behind all these false religions,because if it is not the truth it is a lie,and we know that the devil is the father of all lies.

When God created people with free will he gave them some of the power thus people used it poorly

See the devil kiss the hand of god.
See the devil crying tears of flame.
See the devil bite the hand of Christ.
And know the devil is the work of God.
