No, the two being simultaneous would be impossible...at least in the way that we understand suffering and evil. If dying from malnutrition, disease and war are considered not evil or suffering then yes it could be, but if that were the case then we might all have a really weak grasp on any sense of reality in general.

God can do anything that he desires to. Either way it goes we're going to suffer. If we live our lives delighting in the Lord we'll suffer persecutions and if we live our lives doing our own heart desire we'll suffer the wrath of God. Know matter what we choice we'll always have our own free will, but we should live for Gods' will to be done in our lives.

Of course. Does a doctor take away free will when he develops a vaccine to cure a disease? No. Do you take away anyone's free will when you donate to a homeless shelter? No. If we are capable of relieving suffering, why shouldn't a god? He should be even more capable of it than we.

god gave man the chance to avoid all work suffering pain etc; but the free will chose sin instead. It would be wrong for god to do this.

Yes !
But what if we chose the wrong thing .... and benefitted ourselves, but hurt others ..... then maybe we escape suffering ourslves but unknowingly cause someone else to suffer !!! we didn`t create others God did ..... so He knows what is the good choice that will remove sufferings from AALL creatures.

My understanding is that god can do anything it wants, but it chooses to keep suffering in the world.

To suffer because of sins you commit ed is bad but to suffer for Jesus say by being persecuted by sinners because you tell them about Jesus and they curse you for it is a blessing. suffering for GOD is a blessing.

Yes he could, but if we did not suffer, we would not need him. That is why we suffer, so we can come to God.

A lot of our suffering IS consequences of our own stupid choices. So No, I don't see Him deciding to do that

He tried that with Adam and Eve, because of them we must now suffer and wait until he comes once more.
