If God is All-Loving and Omnipotent then WHY IS THERE NO TRUE CURE FOR CANCER?

Question

Is god trying to teach us something by killing innocent people?

I asked about the Holocaust and some Christians dared to say that it was to teach people not to kill (ironic, right?)

I also asked that about the children starving in Africa and some Christians said that god must have done it for a legitimate reason (so much for being pro-life...)


If this is a god that has the ability to change the world for the greater good, then he must be either evil and ignorant or non existent.

And don't even start with the free will stuff. I will not accept something as naive as that.

Answer 1

God created cancer too. Maybe he loves it more than he loves humans.

Answer 2

Well - how does it feel to be the responsible one? You have set yourself up as God by deciding you and you alone will determine which answers work.
Some Christians work a cash register or a 10 key adeptly, that doesn't mean their theology is spot on or that they represent the Christian teachings. Africa is a tragedy from colonialism, greed, tribalism, media hgihlighting/passing by, and moral confusion over values in 1st world countries.
By your logic, teachers should change every grade to A+ because they have the power - whether or not the student slept through class, never read the book, or had a hot date the night before. The teacher is evil or ignorant or non-existent? Come on.
I have brain cancer, 19 months ago, prostrate cancer, 10 years ago 60 shock treatments for bipolar that wiped out 45% of my brain. I know God is all loving because God has stood by me each step of the way, giving me strength, allowing me to make choices, good and bad, but always waiting for me.
As far as killing innocent people - there has only been one. He was killed for the rest of us. The sweetest child out of the womb has already added to the injustices of the world in terms of asset allocation, energy utilization, and the like. One innocent Child of Man died for all of us sinning Children of God.
Now since you alone have decided that you alone accept or reject, at least be h onest in your decision.

Answer 3

First question, I strongly believe that the scientist in Heaven have devised a cure for cancer and have helped doctor and scientist here to figure out the cure. I think the problem is the worlds governments and drug companies. There is more money in the treatment than there is in the cure. Earth is controlled by men who just want money.
I think that the people who have died in the Holocaust and are starving in Africa, everyone comes down to earth to learn. So every soul learned something that they wanted to learn and they choose that life as one of their many lessons. Over many many different lives we all learn different lessons or expand on a couple goals in each life.

Answer 4

can you accept that people have been healed of cancer? I am one. Never heard the one about the Holocaust teaching people not to kill or the one about the starving children. Christians are supposed to be changing the world by feeding the hungry, clothing the naked & Jesus said to heal the sick & raise the dead. The real Christians that I know are working @ fulfilling the Great Commission, but I have to say I can't speak for everyone who claims to be Christian. There are poor examples in every group, sad to say you've met some of 'ours'. Apologies.

Answer 5

Who said there is no "True cure" for cancer? What is all this non-sense you speak of? First off, no one is "innocent." (with the exception of children) Second, God does not kill, he ushers souls into glory. (not a bad thing) You need to evaluate who is really starving those children and who caused the holocaust. It isn't God, and therefore it is not up to God to stop it. All loving means he will also give the opportunity to ALL to do as they please. Controlling people is not all loving. Also, you put a very high value on this temporal life. You better hold on tight, cause it won't last long. Then what ya gonna do?

Answer 6

Why all the suffering?

1. (Jehovah) God is not the real ruler of this world (system). The bible clearly says “The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.” That wicked one is Satan the Devil.—1 John 5:19. Reasonably, as Satan is hateful, deceptive, and cruel. So the world, under his influence, is full of hatred, deceit, and cruelty. This world reflects the personality of the invisible spirit creature who is “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9)

2. Mankind has been imperfect and sinful ever since the rebellion in the garden of Eden. Sinful humans tend to struggle for dominance, and this results in wars, oppression, and suffering. (Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9)

3.There's also “time and unforeseen occurrence.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11) In a world without Jehovah as a protective Ruler, people may suffer because they happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

But does God care or not?
"And God himself will be with them(his people). 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 21:3, 4)

“He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it.”—Isaiah 25:8.

He will change all that...like you who wants suffering begone I hope it comes soon...for us who have learned the bible truth, the 'day of God' (Zephaniah 1:15) is a day to look forward to...as he will bring relief to all pain and suffering...

Answer 7

Someone would have to be naive to allow an argument to be dismissed automatically just because one person called it naive. Actions have consequences, and actions by individuals are the result of how they exercise their free will. If you smoke, or pollute the environment, you risk cancer by your own free will, and not only that, you force others others to be at risk, because of the faulty exercise of your free will. If you kill people, the echoes of pain and sorrow will outlast your own miserable short lifetime. The consequences of our bad choices are great, and they are cumulative, and one day they will bring this beautiful planet, God's masterpiece which he told us to take care of (in Genesis), to a grinding halt. God allowed death to enter the world on the day that the human race decided it didn't need God telling them what to do, because an immortal evil moron with no concept of right and wrong would only get worse and worse over time. Actions have consequences, bad actions lead to death and destruction - by their very nature, not because God is cruel. This life has a 100% mortality rate...no-one gets out alive, but how you choose to live while you are here is the ultimate test. God did not cause the holocaust, evil humans abused their free will and caused the holocaust, but it has been used as an example of what not to do. Any evil can be used as a lesson, that does not mean that God likes the fact that the lesson happened that way. Evil must be permitted, not because evil is good or necessary, but because good must be chosen unforced in order to be good. If I had a kid and I walked around with both his hands in my hands all day and forced him to buy his mom flowers, she would not be getting a gift from the kid, but from me. If he was unable to hit the girls in class, it would be me not hitting them. If God did that to us, we would not exist, we would not be, in the philosophical sense, "agents."

Answer 8

Cure! Was a Hungarian doctor some years back in Houston that had a 98% success of healing people with all kinds of cancer.But none of which was approved by the FDA so he has bared from practicing and his license taken away. They said It would cause doctors to go out of business and hospitals would hurt, and drug companies to lose and so on.
Did you know that sugar feeds cancer? You didn't, Well most doctors don't either. In fact less then 5% of doctors study nutrition and how it heals the body

Answer 9

I keep reading these "we have free will" answers. How does free will have anything at all to do with cancer? So, people now-a-days are choosing to contract cancer and AIDS and such? Is that what Christians are insinuating? Free will has nothing to do with that type of situation; it might work if someone asks why some people kill others, but not in reference to why some people suffer from cancer. I would love some logical explanation for that. Please.

Answer 10

I believe that God does not get involved here. Some people think that God does "infuse" knowledge to scientists. I have also heard others who believe that there is a cure but the medical community is holding it back for financial gain. That seems a little paranoid to me.

I truly believe that God does not get involved. If He did, children would not be raped and murdered.

Answer 11

In the beginning God completely sustained His creation without blemish. That’s why it was perfect. He held every atom together in a perfect state. He kept the planets in their orbits. He kept animals from tripping and breaking their necks. He did not allow people to suffer and die.
Deuteronomy 8:4 gives us a little glimpse of how things might have been in the original creation. “Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.” God is omnipotent and perfectly capable of sustaining and protecting his creation.
When Adam sinned, however, the Lord cursed the universe. In essence there was a change and along with that change God seemingly took away a little bit of his sustaining power and allowed things like suffering and death into His creation. Now He permits bad things to happen—and this is a reminder that sin has consequences and that the world needs a Savior. Romans 8:22 says, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.”

God took pleasure in all of His creation ("http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?passage=revelation+4:11&version=NKJV"), but He loved people most of all. He allowed the created universe to deteriorate so we would see the consequences of our sin. If we did not see the consequences of our sin, we would never see that we need salvation from our sin, and we would never accept His offer of mercy for our sin. Most people easily recognize that there is a problem in the world. This can be used to show them that there is one who has overcome this problem of death and suffering—Jesus Christ.
