They say that God creates suffering for a reason and someone said that God let the disaster of the Tsunami happen because he wants people to think about Global Warming. So, if Suffering happens for a reason, then why does God create personal suffering (i.e. rape, murder)?? Why doesn't he stop it as it causes so much pain to the victims who are involved?? If God is such a good person, then why does he have to let bad things happen to good people??

The Tsunami had nothing to do with Global warming..... It was an earthquake. Who ever said that, is thick.
Its suggests to me that any "God" is a driving force for all the worlds processes not a independent, free thinking being.
and as for "yes...many times god uses personal suffering to break a person down and drive them into a closer relationship with him. Trust in god is never stronger than when you realize he is the only one who can help your situation " WHO TOLD YOU THAT LOAD OF TRIPE

The Tsunami was just one of many tragedies. But those who build their homes on sand might expect an angry wave. Not saying it's right, but it happens. Free will allows some to do bad and others to do good.

what you are talking about is not neccecarily personal suffering but catastrophic events that effect large groups pf people. The best way to understand it is that God is in control and all things happen to bring glory and honor unto him. God controls everything that happens to meet a purpose that he has no matter if we see it or not. Just has god allowed the babylonians to conquer jereusalem in the time of jeremiah and ezekial.

obvious isn't it? there isn't a god is there, just like your question, if there was a god he wouldn't have been so stupid as to create suffering, rape, disease, murders, injustices and all the other stupidity in the world with other religions fighting against each other.
and yeah, the Tsunami was because of an earthquake NOT global warming you numpty!!

God doesn't create suffering.
He allows it to have mercy on you and I, believe it or not.
He could come and judge right now, but if He did, He would have to judge everyone-
Revelation 21:8
"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murders, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone..."-- I think that covers everyone.
He is giving us all time to repent and believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
His Mercy, Righteousness, Love and Grace are beyond our understanding.

Your question could be. "Did God creat us in order that there became right into a distant possibility thateven purely one human beings might elect Him. understand the invaluability of purely one soul." He died so which you should stay.. Get it. Oh and btw Hell isn't eternal.. all of us desires to apply their concordances and seem up eternal for each verse that that's used. Hell is meant for devil and HIS angels. not for human beings.. we are meant to be heirs in heavnen with Jesus. enable us to start performing greater like it. the real soreness interior the fires of hell should not be the burning.. DOES anybody comprehend THIS.. the real soreness IN HELL IS eternal SEPERATION FROM GOD.. understanding which you denied him. Why did Jesus die in the previous the thieves on the pass.. not because of the torture.. The torture became into meant to lengthen loss of existence.. He died because of the load of sin.. And felt the seperation from God that. Sin reasons.. Pls bear in mind "he grew to grow to be sin that knew no sin". How egocentric we are while we seem at him.. we don't have a dazzling to utter a unmarried be conscious against him based on the disgusting vile nature of our corrupt hearts.

God doesn't make people rape or murder other people thats the devil. Without personal suffering we wouldn't be the people we are today.

Sorry,but you are forgetting one important thing.Satan has just as much power over people as God. Satan rules the earth and all that is upon it.God rules the Heavens and all within it.God is not responsible for all the "Bad" thing that happen.Satan has a hand in bad things too..
Think about it..Heaven is full of only Good..That's because Satan can't rule the heavens...Therefore,Satan is responsible for most bad things that are here on earth.God does show compassion to those who ask for his help...Prayer can move mountains..But not if we don't pray and put him first in all our life....Read your Bible...The answers are there...Open the "Book of Life".

Using the cause and effect format, we find that we creat out own suffering.

If every thing is always o.k. then we would not learn to come together and help one another.To me ,earth is a school to learn and grow towards him.If you believe in life after death then we do not really die any way we just advance and grow as a species There is free will so he does not interfere with our growth process
