If God is good, why we suffer?

Question

Please, try to answer using something logic.

Think about victims of accidents and natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis...

Answer 1

Jesus suffered far greater than any of us are we greater than him? I don't mind the suffering to live is to suffer to find meaning in the suffering is to survive...

Answer 2

God is good and created a perfect planet and perfect people with the choice of FREE WILL. To say that God is good and not give people the choice to be that way is just not "logical" as I'm sure you must agree. I mean a God who is good would not create zombies, or puppets, who he chooses to control and make do His will. The fact is that God created them, gave them everything they could ever want, told them to not eat the fruit off of this tree that gave them the knowledge of good and evil, warned them of the consequences, and they did it anyway. This is why there is suffering in the world. If a couple get a divorce the children and family suffer from this as you will surely agree, is this Gods fault? Did God make the couple divorce? To blame God for this suffering and any other for that matter is just not "logical". Mankind for thousands of years has always tried to blame someone or something else for their actions, if we suffer, blame God, if someone is raped or killed, blame God! It is time that people start taking the responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming GOD for all the suffering in the world. Sin entered the world through the choices of Adam and Eve, NOT GOD, and ever since then God has been blamed for it. The amazing thing is that he also made a cure and offers eternal life to all who will recieve it. It is through His Only begotten Son named Jesus. Hope this answers your question and peace to you and yours.

Answer 3

That is a question for the ages that so many of us have asked. I can only state that you will not know the answer until you have left this mortal world. According to the Bible God has given us free reign to act and do all things good and evil, and promised not to interfer until judgement day. It is sometimes difficult to see things occur and people hurt or dying and wonder why God does not intervene. You can only do what is right in your heart and life and be a good christian by helping where you can and perhaps someday you will get the answer.

Answer 4

Story won't make sense in beginning but it does answer your ? in the end.


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair and his beard cut as always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. They talked about so many things on various subjects.

Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. The barber said: "Look man, I don't believe that God exists as you say so." "Why do you say that?"

Asked the client. Well, it's so easy; you just have to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist. Oh, tell me, if God existed, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. "I can't think of a God who permits all of these things." The client stopped for a moment thinking but he didn't want to respond so as to prevent an argument.

The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with a long hair and beard (it seems that it had been a long time since he had his cut and he looked so untidy). Then the client again entered the barbershop and he said to the barber: know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How come they don't exist?" asked the barber. "Well I am here and I am a barber." "No!" - the client exclaimed. "They don't exist because if they did there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the street."

"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to me." "Exactly!"- Affirmed the client. "That's the point. God does exist, what happens is people don't go to Him and do not look for Him that's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

Answer 5

because of free will. humans choose to be cruel, inconsiderate, selfish and the product is societies that r cruel, inconsiderate and selfish which in turn produces suffering and degradation. god won't deny us that which we have chosen for ourselves.

it is also tied into why we r here in the first place, which is to experience all the facets of life. there can't be light without dark. if there was neverending light what would it be? would we even notice it? we certainly wouldn't appreciate it. it would just always be there. we would not know what it is to be without light. but that's just an example.

there is always choice. many will not choose the action that will lead them out of suffering, because of fear, because it means doing something that would take more courage than they believe themselves to have.

Answer 6

The Lord Jesus Christ, who was the only truly "innocent" and "righteous" man in all history, nevertheless has suffered more than anyone else who ever lived.

And this He did for us! "Christ died for our sins" (I Corinthians 15:3). He suffered and died, in order that ultimately He might deliver the world from the Curse, and that, even now, He can deliver from sin and its bondage anyone who will receive Him in faith as personal Lord and Savior. This great deliverance from the penalty of inherent sin, as well as of overt sins, very possibly also assures the salvation of those who have died before reaching an age of conscious choice of wrong over right.

Answer 7

God did not create man, but ancient man who created God. Religion always has an excuse. Didn't the children suffer when they were being molested by priests and God never intervened? I haven't heard an excuse for that one, they just try to sweep it under the carpet.

Answer 8

God is good because you are here today and alive doing the things you love to do. Didn't Jesus suffer for our sin, he was denied by the same people who came to him for help and then he was crucified so that we can be set free. I don't call it suffering but goinig through trials and tribulations. He wants to know if we will trust him and faith in him when we do go through life's roughness.

Answer 9

We suffer due to a little thing called the seed of sin, that is in all of us. It is what makes us jealous, hateful, mean, selfish, etc. We suffer because of sin, because of that sinful nature we have. God gave us free will to choose, and we chose to sin. That is why we suffer.

Answer 10

I walked a mile with Pleasure
She chatted all the way
but left me none the wiser
for all She had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow
and not one word said She.
But, oh; the things I learned from her
when Sorrow walked with me.
