Is God's plan worth it?

Question

Is the price of eternal live under God's kingdom worth all the suffering that all living things have experienced during the last 6000.

I watch the news and feel sicken to my stomach. I see babys dying of hunger, see animals been misstreated, see dogs been used for dog fights in which they expirience a terrible life of suffering and darkness. I see wars, genocides, rapes, natural disasters, etc...

Many humans and animals are fortunate not to experience these things. But billions are affected and will continue to be affected by this cruel dark evil world which we have created.

days go by and God does not appear, there is no God to help us, no God that answers our prayers.

Only a few will make it to God's kingdom, but are those very few people worth all the suffering and evil torture that billion of souls have endured over the las 6000 years?

Is God's plan worth it? Was it worth creating intellegent life with free will?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Gave ya a thumbs up, because it IS a good question.

His purpose (I would say humans plan, God purposes) is definitely worth it. There is a larger issue at stake, than simply our own salvation or suffering. And that is the very same question and challenge that was posed in the 2nd chapter of Genesis. Does God have the right to rule us? Is his way best? Is he a liar?

That issue is of far more importance than human suffering. He is the creator. He owns everything. But our suffering is related to it the issue. Because it demonstrates that it was a lie. That God's way of ruling *is* best. Because when the issue is finally settled, he has promised to use his power, to wipe out all tears associated with the suffering that we now experience.

Think about what that means for a moment. Take the worst crimes that can be committed against another human. Rape. Murder. God, stating he is all powerful, will wipe out death, and tears and all pain, and all of the former pain will not be called to mind. So all of the pain we experience, once this issue is finally settled, will be a thing of the past.

"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4

That little girl who has suffered for 10 years? What about when she's alive for 60,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years from now? In perfect conditions? With no death? No tears? No pain? The ability to not call to mind the previous pain of the "former things" if I choose not to? It is definitely worth it, and I would gladly go through anything, as many true Christians have suffered, to achieve it.

In addition, there is the benefit that once this issue of Universal Sovereignty is finally settled, never again will we have to go through this again. The case precedent will be set.

Answer 3

I believe that God wants us to grow in compassion, spirituality and knowledge to the point that we ourselves can cure diseases, alleviate hunger and clean up the mess we’ve made of things.

What is so terrible about us trying harder to bring about change?

Instead of asking why, do something to help bring about change.

Answer 4

Hey, some Xie just told me that my debilitating chronic illness and pain is part of God's plan. Apparently he 'works in mysterious ways.'

I have no use for that sort of thinking.

Answer 5

EARTH IS EARTH AND AGE OF EARTH IS AGE OF EARTH AS A PLANET

WORLD IS WORLD AND AGE OF WORLD IS AGE OF WORLD FROM ADAM AND EDEN

The bible math is correct.

The age of the earth and the age of the world are different.
People misrepresent things.

Gen.1:1,2 [ The earth and all exist here, it is evident ];
Gen.1:3 [ Earth is a focus for preparation here ];
Gen.1:11,12 [ Earth is a focus for plant life, plant life a priority,
needed extra light through earth protection shield, with seasons ];
Earth existing and in preparation ages, eras and eons before man
begans his time in the world from Adam to #10 son Noah,
to #20 son Abraham and family to Moses and half a million Promised
Land heirs, to #34 son David, Solomon and Judah kings to
#48 son Zedekiah at Babylon Empire #3, captivity? 606 years
to # 62 son Jesus in Roman Empire #6. Matt.1:1-17;
To now in 2006 years after Jesus.
Rev,20:1-6 [ No Satan ]; The 1000 year reign of Christ,
to all is perfect as before Eden.

TIMES AS GIVEN IN THE BIBLE
2Pet.3:5 [ heavens and earth old ];
2Pet.3:8 [ 1000 years as 1 day, = LORD ];
Psm.77:5 [ years of ancient times ];
Psm.90:2 [ earth and the world ];
Eph.1:4 [ Foundation of the world ];
Eph.3:5 [ Other ages ]; 2:7 [ future ages ];
Col.1:26 [ from ages and generations ];
Job.38:4-7 [Foundation of the earth ];
Job 37:12 [ world in the earth ];
John 17:3,5,24 [ Jesus with God before the world was, before Abraham 5:58 ];
Col.15-17 [ Jesus first creation created in image of God Rev.3:14];
Rev.20:1-6 [ 1000 year reign of Christ ];
WE NEED ALL PROOF POSSIBLE THAT 6,072 YEARS OF MAN IS TRUE ANC CORRECT

Answer 6

Thank goodness that's not how things work. And yes, it was absolutely worth it to create intelligent life with free will.

Answer 7

Mankind likes its sin. It is his choice, and God said ok, be god for yourself, and look were it got us.

EDIT:
Maybe the best answer is the conjuntion of mine and raVar's.
