does god like suffering, then why doesn't he help stop it?

Answer 1

He hates suffering, but He hates spiritual slavery even more.
He has already stopped as much suffering as can be removed and still permit human free will.

Answer 2

Do you like suffering? What are you doing to help stop it?

God doesn't like suffering, that's why God gave you a heart with which to feel others suffering, and hands to help them.

So what are you going to do about it?

Let me suggest World Vision.

Answer 3

God does not like suffering. The devil is working hard against God by getting into people's minds trying to convince them that God does not exist. If more people believed, there would be less suffering.

Answer 4

Soemtimes things must be endured in order for lessons to be learned. God is not the author of suffering. He allows things to happen for education purposes. Further, He knows how much we can endure, He never crosses that line. He can stop all suffering, but what little is endured here, much love and comfort will be rewarded in Heaven. <><

Answer 5

Hinduism can give some mystical answers .

Who is God? Where is God? How can I come to know God?"

God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is. But in our tradition we call God by the loving name Siva, which is only one of His 1,008 traditional names. Supreme God Siva is both within us and outside of us. Even desire, the fulfillment of desire, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, birth and death -- this is all Siva, nothing but Siva. This is hard to believe for the unenlightened individual who cannot see how a good, kind and loving God could create pain and sorrow. Actually, we find that Siva did not -- not in the sense that is commonly thought. God gave the law of karma, decreeing that each energy sent into motion returns with equal force.

In looking closely at this natural law, we can see that we create our own joy, our own pain, our own sorrow and our own release from sorrow. Yet we could not even do this except for the power and existence of our loving Lord. It takes much meditation to find God Siva in all things, through all things. In this striving -- as in perfecting any art or science -- regular daily disciplines must be faithfully adhered to.

Siva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Siva is a God of love, boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. God Siva is everywhere. There is no place where Siva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies, too. He is the universe. His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe. God Siva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.

That is almost too much for the mind to comprehend, isn't it? Therefore, we have to meditate on these things. God Siva is so close to us. Where does He live? In the Third World. And in this form He can talk and think and love and receive our prayers and guide our karma. He commands vast numbers of devas who go forth to do His will all over the world, all over the galaxy, throughout the universe. These are matters told to us by the rishis; and we have discovered them in our own meditations. So always worship this great God. Never fear Him. He is the Self of your self. He is closer than your own breath. His nature is love, and if you worship Him with devotion you will know love and be loving toward others. Devotees of God Siva love everyone.

This is how God Siva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes.

Answer 6

God doesnt cause suffering, mankind does. How? By greed and pride and with people with the "ME ONLY" attitude. Mankind has caused the suffering and it is up to mankind to put a stop to it.

Answer 7

suffering is not a bad thing. we learn from it and grow stronger.

if he was to stop it, where would you draw the line?? would you want him to prevent you from getting a paper cut? if he stopped every bad thing from acting on us, that would defeat the purpose of being here.

also, you will not have endure anything you can't handle- without the help of our lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

It helps to Think of Our World (Earth) as a Complete System (Creation).

Adam kicked GOD out of this System "legally".
Adam let satan into this System "legally".
satan kills, steals and destroys.

The contract between GOD and Adam was for 6,000 Years.
It is almost up.

GOD has to Help from the "OutSide In" untill the Contract is up.

Answer 9

No, when we get to heaven there will be no suffering.

Answer 10

somtimes you must suffer to really get what you want
