Does God allow children to suffer?

Answer 1

Yes. Don't you see the millions of children suffering worldwide? Are they suffering against God's will?

Answer 2

It is not His will that any should suffer.When you see a child suffer it is because of the wickedness that man has brought upon us all.I find it hard to believe that there could be someone who would not feel regret at seeing a child suffer though I know there is the exception.It breaks my heart to see a child in need,but even more so to see one suffer.We often ask ourselves why would God allow this to happen?But really we should be asking God, What can I do to help these poor innocent children?One day we will all stand before God and have to give an account of this and what will we say?Do you realize that if we would all work together that children would not have to suffer?God has given us all that we need to help these poor babes and what have we done?We put the blame on God, and say what can I possibly do?There is one consolation,one day He will take these little children into His arms and they will suffer no more.Can you imagine looking at them in His arms and remembering that you saw that one suffering and did nothing.

Answer 3

No, children do not suffer, as much as adults feel that they do. From an adult’s perspective, children seem to suffer when we put ourselves in their positions when we see them experiencing whatever. Children are the most resilient people on this planet.

And as for god, that is a concept was created to make people believe in things like the falsie that children suffer any more than the rest of us and F.E.A.R. of enjoying life too much or else you'll suffer after death (so suffer now before you have time to die instead).

Answer 4

Do you allow children to suffer? I'm not asking this to start an argument, just to prove a point.

People are always asking things like this, but rarely do they apply that question to themselves. Surely, most of the people have the opportunity to send food or clothing or medicine to children all over the world, but we don't. (See, I even included myself in this.) We can't blame God for letting people suffer, if we do nothing to ease that suffering ourselves.

Answer 5

Children suffer because of the stubborness and hard heartedness of their parents. The parents are the covering of their children and if they will not heed or obey God, then the parents open the door for suffering to come upon their children. God has certain laws and rules by which He operates and He does not turn from them. One of the laws which He moves by it "faith". If the parents will not put their "faith" in Him, it ties His hands. He works through people who believe in Him. All the suffering in the world will not move Him, only faith. That's why God will raise up missionaries from other countries who believe Him and send them where there is suffering, because they do so by "faith".

Answer 6

The collective actions and behaviours of human beings, does seem to be part of the allowance for suffering children.

Obviously the human race is part of the problem, and I prefer to believe that we can learn to be part of the solution to minimize the suffering of children.....and collectively we could eradicate suffering altogether.

It doesn't seem logical to buy into the concept that a "single entity" called God.... chose to create life and to allow suffering and we have no choice in the events that occur!

Answer 7

Yes. My children suffer sometimes through illness, disappointments, and all the other normal parts of life. But some children suffer greatly. We lost one of our children this year at age 5 months to congenital heart disease.

God allowed His own Son to suffer for our sins. Suffering can always have a purpose. It can always have spiritual merit, if we have the right attitude about it.

Answer 8

Obviously children along with adults and animals do suffer.
However before you condemn Him, He gave us intellect to overcome many of life's trials. So children who suffer during an illness can be helped by modern medication, developed by humans using their intellect.
Those children who are not helped by adults do not suffer because God wills it but because adults neglect them.

Answer 9

As soon as we are conceived, we are thrown into a turmoil of controversy. Children suffer pain so that we understand God's suffering for us. As much as you may love that child, God loves him even more. He has sent angels to watch over us. Each angel rigorously and diligently...tirelessly, in fact, keeping a record of all that is thought, said and done. Waiting for us to ask them for something. Something that you might not have thought of to ask yet.

Answer 10

unfastened will comes at a very severe value. especially situations that value incorporates the suffering and demise of innocents. without the choice to choose on evil (an identical evil which finally consequences interior the suffering of innocents), inspite of the shown fact that, we are all yet mere puppets, and God the puppeteer. To witness the soreness and suffering of a teenager is undesirable, certainly. in many circumstances, there are no longer any words that relatively convenience, and good judgment is in many circumstances no convenience, the two. Jesus (an harmless, Himself) knew suffering of the main profound form. Jesus is waiting to hold those toddlers in His palms and convenience them while the time comes.
