Should journey of life be considered all out harrasment by God or an opportunity to learn?

Question

In my humble opinion I think its a great opportunity to learn. When we realize that actions carry consequences, we can try and correct them. I think when we prefer to blame we are blocking our spiritual growth ofcourse there are exceptions when irrationality cannot be justified but self reflection should be a must. So in pursuit of an ideal life we gain wisdom but that again depends on spirituality vs materialism? What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Answer 1

the journey that begins at birth and culminates in death is your life. It is nothing more, nothing less.

In it, yes you should be learning something, but for those who go to hell, what they learn is of no value, for in hell there is nothing but suffering.

for the christian, most of them will learn that what they learned in this life is not of value in heaven for they learned all the wrong things as a huge price to them in eternity.

For some, the learning will lead to greater service in the age to come.

as for harrassment by God? He is not evil, and if someone is suffering, it is for their betterment if they are so inclined to grow in grace, freely offered.

Answer 2

Trials or hardships are substantial, they seem to be a attempt (not inevitably a non secular one) yet actual a attempt upon the capability and braveness of the guy who endures it. many human beings could locate possessing one motor vehicle a trouble on a similar time as yet another feeding their young infants cabbage for each week could evaluate that a luxury. That itself is very divergent. perspective is humorous that way. all of us yearns to be comforted, that for the period of itself is a survival instinct. non secular or not, in case you have gained something from what you think approximately a trouble it would be extra advantageous know-how, the type you are able to pass directly to others of their time of %.

Answer 3

To learn. To learn. Perhaps to learn.

May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses. May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free. May the powerless find power, and may people think of befriending one another.
--The Buddha

Liberate yourself from the fetters of the ego and surrender yourself before God. Let the Lord be your shepherd, allow Him to attend to all your cares, and do not allow temptations to entice you. Aspirations of this world are the cause of all concern. Aspire to God and obtain freedom.

Answer 4

Yeah, I believe that our time here on earth is for the purpose of gaining wisdom and learning how to apply it to our lives that we may discover who we really are in God. While Jesus Christ was here in the earth He encountered many trials and obstacles and handled them in the God like fashion. In Matthew He said for my yoke is easy and my burden is light and to come unto Him and learn of Him. Since He said this, then alot troubles we deal with we make them harder on ourselves because we have not "learned of Him". And, I want to accoplish things in this life in the Christ like fashion.

Answer 5

You are absolutely right. We are in boot camp here.

The best is yet to come. I like your explanation of our journey here.

Here is one for you by Henry Van Dyke:

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says: There she is gone.

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. she is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her. and just at the moment when someone at my side says : there, she is gone! There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes".

And that is dying.

Answer 6

You are rambling on.

Firstly, one who calls himself humble usually is not.

God doesn't harass anybody. To say that is pure folly. He is just to do anything He wants.

When human beings think they are so superior to judge God is just show how depraved that mind is.

God had a plan from before He created and He unfolded it in time as we know it. Here we are thousands of years later...............an evil and wicked generation.............trying to rid Him of all in the U.S. This nation whom He blessed and becoming more and more evil.

There is only one way to be right with God and that's thru Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

Can't it be both? (Assuming the existence of a deity.)

After all, if there is an omnipotent being, then this is all pointless anyway.
