how come...?

Question

how come if god can do anything and he is not bound by the laws of science he can't end suffering without taking away man's free will?

Answer 1

Do you think you are better than God who created you?If you do not know what you are saying just remain silent from your sit and watch TV or the computer. Mankind has limited power. It is not like God who is the most powerful living spirit.
In Romans Chapter 9 verse 20 it says
Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Answer 2

I'm guessing you don't know much about the Laws of Science. Anyways, to look at your question of why God can't end suffering without taking away man's free will is that some humans choose to suffer and/or cause the suffering of others, and if God ended suffering, no matter how you look at it, it would take away man's free will. It is up to us as humans to end the suffering that was caused by us. People need to stand up and take action/responsibility for things we as humans have done, we can not expect for God, or anyone else to clean up our mess.

Answer 3

Did you ever see The Matrix? I think that Agent Smith's description of human existence was pretty dead on. We don't define ourselves by our pleasures, but rather by our suffering. You see, we choose to do the things that cause suffering in others, and in turn return suffering back to us one day, if not immediately.

If G-d ended suffering tomorrow, why would we need to turn to him? Why would we need to have friends? Why would we need to stay close to family? What would be the purpose of the church? Then there is the duality of things. How can I know peace without any war? How can I know happiness and joy without suffering? By taking away suffering you limit a choice of mankind. This automatically interrupts free will because you have declared no one can choose to suffer if they want to.

Answer 4

Suffering is punishment for sin. Sin is the abuse of free will to disobey God's commandments. Suffering is the result of our choice, not of God's will.
How about if God took away your ability to make decisions. You are now an intelligent robot who can do nothing but obey commands. What difference do you ask is this from following His commandments? We choose to follow of our own volition, with reason and forethought. This honors God, whereas acting on command like a computer executing code is not remarkable.

Answer 5

Wow,I do not know how to explain this.If Eve would not have eaten from the apple our world would be perfect.That is what God intended.Jesus had to defend us by dying on the cross,now we all have to suffer,for a certain amount of time.He will be back.Some of us will have passed the test,and others will have failed the test.The one's who passed will live with God in eternity without suffering in a perfect world.The others will go down with Lucifer the fallen angel that tempted Eve to eat the apple.

Answer 6

Because the God you are talking about if a fabrication of men, created years ago to allow the educated to stay in power. Ever notice that all the really hard questions are answered with the answer that it is God's will or that no one knows the mind of God. Ask a priest if the child prositiution in asia is God's will and see what he or she says. The truth is that God is love and is bigger than any one incarnation or set of standards.

Answer 7

what would it prove? Satan challenged God by saying we don't serve him out of free will but out of what we get out of it. God will make a reply to Satans challenge. Remember that to God it is 1 day for him and a year to us.

Proverbs 27:11  Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me.

Ezekiel 4:6 And you must complete them.

“And you must lie upon your right side in the second case, and you must carry the error of the house of Judah forty days. A day for a year, a day for a year, is what I have given you.

Answer 8

how come when you were very young, t'was your parents who took all the decisions and were not bound by your laws.....and sometimes even could beat you without you could do anything about it.....we all are small kids in front of God, he doesnt follow the rules made or proven by men.

Answer 9

If you believe those who attend a belief in God, they would say that some people actually wish to see the suffering continue, so if He stepped in, it would interfere....

So there you have it...He can't interfere with something he gave everyone, yet He gladly takes away everything else....

Answer 10

That's right! If god can do anything, then why can't he create free-will without evil?

Because he works according to imagination and desires of christians.
