another question of spirituality...?

Question

if god really does exist, (no offense though), why does he creates suffering and crappy creatures like viruses?
Why don't he just create something perfect and stay that way forever for instance?

Answer 1

There's nothing imperfect about suffering. That's your value judgement.

Answer 2

For I see you in the truth , I will answer this question also in truth unlike the lady who ask in similarity. Perfection in the eye of the world and God, can it be the same? Spirit and Flesh, can it be the same, surely a big No. What you see as suffering is it the same as God sees? When we ask, why didn't he create something perfect and stay it that way forever, We are implying that he has not created something perfect, also it implies he is not a perfect God . Do I got an understanding here?. Then God cease to be God. We have censor him. He is no more Almighty, for he has fault. What then, makes you think that He is not perfect, of course the opening line after the question. Then you have make yourself to be of better knowledge than God and have therfore make yourself to be of higher understanding than God. Am I going to fast ? You have judge God and make Him an err God. All the pain and suffering of this world is a mistake then. God coming in the form of human and call himself Jesus to save the world is a mistake or why must he come in the name of Jesus. Why can't he just make it perfect. Who says so? We, human being, and we have the Fu**in* balls to say and imply or question him. How do you know it is not perfect? Let the children of God understand this.

Answer 3

1. Define perfect.
2. If it stays that way forever, then it is not perfect. It needs to adapt to the changing world around it.
3. If a thing can adapt, then it must be a living thing. A perfect living thing cannot die which mean it is immortal.
4. So your real question is:
Why doesn't god creates another god?

Answer 4

Hello:

Your question is a very worthy one, and is often asked. I too have asked the same, and I can relate my understanding to you, but ultimately I don't believe an answer that satisfies you is going to come from outside sources, but from inside you. I'd suggest prayer and meditation, which is where my answer came.

If God had wanted us perfect in a perfect world that is surely what we'd have, What we do have however is an obviously imperfect finite world. I feel the answer is that this finite world is to experience and learn form. There would be little or nothing to learn in a perfect world, and the only experiences we'd have would all by joyous ones. But then how would I know they were joyous? If I don't have opposing experiences I have no reference point for the experiences I'm having. Oddly, in a case such as that I might not even feel that joy is so joyous, I might perceive the lesser joys as painful since they weren't up to my more joyous moments. It is more likely perhaps, that I'd simply not feel, or in having no frame of reference for my feeling be mute to them. It may seem perplexing at first, but given some thought, a perfect world might not be so perfect as my fantasies would lead me to think.

So here we are, in a finitely imperfect world, with the good and the bad, and everything in-between. And from all of that come our learning experiences. The experiences lead us to question, what do we want? What do we want to be? Who do we want to be? There the questions that become the foundation of our character, what we are, what we become.

Those, and those like them, are the learning lessons God set us here for; elsewise He would have made us but cattle in the field. He didn't, He graced us with free choice and free will, and the intellect to act upon them. How we act, and react, is decisive in whether we will go Home to Him when we depart this mortal shell and finite realm.

That's my understanding, if none of makes any sense to you after giving it some thought, that's okay. If there's something you feel you can use as you quest for your answer, that's okay too. I do know that if you seek the answers will come, perhaps not when you'd like or as quickly as you'd like, but practice seeking daily in prayer and meditation and practice patience daily --- they will come.

"May the road always lead, where you need to be."


Yours sincerely,

Glenn-

Answer 5

God does not create suffering, nor viruses...we project these from our fear of being separate from God. These things we project are simple images, and were not created. Therefore, they have no actual validity except what we give to them.

We are one with God; God is Spirit, God is Mind; God created the truth of us...perfect, whole, and complete; we are free to discover ourselves, even to dream of terrible things; but only AS dreams...we remain forever, in this spacious present, creating wonders with "Him".

Answer 6

Because there is evil in this world, too, created by the devil. Alot of it. God has given man free will to choose good or bad. Because so many choose bad, nothing will be "perfect forever", that is man's choice, not God's.

Answer 7

God did create everything perfect. People, through sin, created all of the problems. If we had all obeyed God and lived righteous holy lives, the world would still be perfect.

Answer 8

Every thing within itself is perfect. In relation to another thing, however, there may be consequence that causes harm when the bounds of moderation and balance are over-reached.

Who is to say that if everything were as you say, people would be happy? Happiness comes from striving and struggling to over-come our ignorance, from striving for excellence in all things, from serving and helping our fellow human beings, or from working in a spirit of service. Happiness is not an entitlement or a prize, it is something we experience as a by-product as we strive for other things.

Answer 9

The first thing to understand is that evil came into the world because of sin. God didn't create things this way.

Answer 10

I've asked questions about why parasites like tapeworms, liver flukes, round worms, deadly brain parasites, not to mention over a million other species were created, and never got a good answer. They just mutter something about the fall of Adam and Eve.

Answer 11

I would REALLY like to know where you get your information.

It is common knowledge that every decade, the lifespan of humans is INCREASING, not decreasing. People 500 years ago were dying at the age of 30 - 45, 100 years ago, it was 55 - 65, now it is 75 - 80 or somewhere in that range.

You have it completely backwards, dear. Thanks to modern medicine and other things created BY MAN (NOT GOD), us humans are enjoying a longer lifespan.
