Why do YOU think God allows pain of any kind?

Answer 1

1) "A servant cannot be corrected by mere words; though he understands, he will not respond." - Proverbs 29:19

"The Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." - Hebrews 12:6

2) "As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal." - Ecclesiastes 3:18-19

3) "Surely your wrath against men brings you praise, and the survivors of your wrath are restrained." - Psalm 76:10

4) "He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just AND (5) the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus." - Romans 3:25-26

6 & 7) "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death." - Revelation 12:11. That last one demonstrates an additional two things:

a) That even when Christians suffer, we still obey him (which refutes many atheists and other anti-Christians who claim Christians are weak-willed and only obey and love him for pleasure or for the pleasure he gives).

b) That nothing Satan throws at Christians will defeat God in any way.

Answer 2

I don't think God allows pain. He hates suffering, just look in the new testament in the Bible at how many times he took people's suffering away. I think that we live in an unfair world. Things happen that have no explanation, are not God's fault & life is not fair. I believe some people have more pain than others, but I try not to envy them, just try to give myself the best chances of living a healthy, loving, caring life. As Tom Hanks said "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get".

Answer 3

There are people born unable to feel pain, the do not do very well. Pain is one of the challenges, that one has to deal with in life. One needs to learn to handle pain and hardship and get strong. God is not into producing wimps. We have a lot of rough problems in this world, and we need people who can handle the heat, to help solve them. Great accomplishments, often come with a lot of pain, which only a few can handle. Pain and work are what makes you earn an achievement. God does not give results for free.

Answer 4

Free Will. I do not wanna rape anywone, however any one available in the market does. I do not wish to kill any individual, however any one does not brain doing it. Is God intended to head ballistic and zap each and every evil-doer with thunderbolts? Whose morality might such judgment be founded on? Compared to God, we are all f'd up so far as righteousness is involved. If you have got learn the Old Testament or no less than went to Sunday School as a child, you would realize he attempted that earlier than. Noah and his family have been the excellent he might discover. Not so much might stand if he attempted that once more. An major side of Christianity is to take a mindful stand for folks who're being abused, neglected and taking talents of. God gave us a unfastened will and he isn't going to take it again. It's as much as us to make use of it as an device to serve him and do what is correct. Not simply in our private lives, but additionally according to serving others and aid make this international a bit of much less tousled. Anyone can whinge approximately matters now not being correct. Few folks can exhibit the force to make a change. It's a tremendous challenge, so we are going to want aid. That's the side in which braveness, religion, love, and finally, God all come into play. God has given us extra vigor than we observe, however not anything will ever come of it if we sit down round asking God 'whys' and 'why nots' even as we do not even attempt to do something.

Answer 5

I cannot tell you why He allows the pain but, I can tell you how this affects many of us.

When we are in pain, emotionally or, physically, that is when we are at our lowest. For those of us who know Him, it is during these painful times, in which we draw nearer to Him. It is when we seek His healing, strength to endure, wisdom to do what we must and HIS peace which nothing and noone can provide.

This is a time we, as Christians, realize the love which was poured out, freely, from that cross as we know that HE will never leave us, nor will He forsake us! Ever! He is the one constant in our lives...the same yesterday, today and tomorrow! The One who carries us when we feel like we can no longer go on! He is our Savior...in many ways!

I have noticed that when people do not believe in Him and have painful situations, they tend to Blame God! This has always puzzled me! How can you blame a God in whom you do not believe? Yet, I have seen this over and over!

The other side, is when I have witnessed someone who did not believe in God and yet, when they had nothing left, they dropped to their knees, in prayer to the only ONE they truly knew could help....our Creator!

One day, we will understand all the why's, as He promises. For now, we only need to look to Him!

Answer 6

i think god allows pain of any kind so we have an idea of all that crazy hardship times he went through and the struggles he dealt with to provide life for us and i also think that when your going through pain it really shapes and makes out what kind of person you are on how you handle the situation. Sometimes it may even be like a reality check for some people to wake up and realize everything isn't perfect

Answer 7

God created us to have a special relationship with him, if there was no pain in our lives we wouldn know that their is love and that God does love us, so he gave us pain so that we would kno that there is love, but its not God that causes the pain, its jerks out there that does that, and we need pain to get stronger. I hope u feel better soon, God Bless ♥

Answer 8

To bring people together - develop concern and policies for care; motivate others to find ways to stop all kinds of pain - doctors/nurses and researchers.
Into every life there will be pain - so being able to have empathy and concern is good - but a way to stop it is good to.
Also we are mortal - so having pain reminds us not to jump off bridges, or hit each other with hammers...

Answer 9

God is love so of course we are led to believe that because He is love and because He loves us, He would never stand by while we are in pain. But He is a Father too. As a parent, perhaps yourself, if your child starts learning how to walk will you always hold her little hand so that she never falls and thus never feel pain from falling? Or will you let her learn how to walk by allowing her to fall a few times until she learns? Think about it, can we ever learn painlessly? Or can we ever love painlessly? Isn't the greatest proof of love when someone goes through a lot of pain to show you they love you? A solid proof of love is when there is a willingness to endure pain, out of love for the other person. If they drive hundreds of miles to come and see for one hour, isn't that love? If they give you their coat while they endure cold, isn't that love?
God Himself suffered for us as a human, in the person of Jesus Christ. There was no other way to save us but for Him to come to earth even though He knew He would end up being murdered. Isn't that love?

So I would say my friend, that God allows a certain kind of pain because through that pain, we learn, we grow and we truly experience love.
Think about it. God bless you.

Answer 10

Because, if you couldn't feel any kind of physical pain, you could do yourself great harm without realizing it. It's a disorder called CIPA.

And if you couldn't feel any kind of emotional pain, you would be a sociopath.

Neither are good options. Thus, God 'allows' us to feel pain.
