Look around you people are really suffering

Before you were born ppl have been suffering and God have been existing. So don't even embark your thoughts on a question that will have no answer even after your death.

It only shows the limit of man. If you created yourself I'm sure you would choose the best life that's free of suffering. But since you didn't create yourself, you can't choose what kinda challenge would come your way. The best way without shortcut to living a life free of suffering is to please your creator always.

Nice question.

Imagine everyone is enjoying in this world, both the good and the bad, what kind of world would you expect?

Think about it....

Since Adam and Eve committed the first sin, Sickness, Death and Diseases crept into the world.

That doesn't mean that God isn't watching.

You remember Job?... forget the fact that his own was probably a test, but it goes to show that whatever bad that happens to someone doesn't mean that God isn't loving.

I have seen a pastor who was born blind, Fanny Cosby, and other great men of God. that didn't allow them question.

Whatever you are passing through, just know that this earth is temporal and it shall pass away. Then we shall have eternal life if you are saved.

God bless you.

Even Jesus became indignant and prayed "Father why have you forsaken me.But He still got crucified. He still went through pain. Your antagonistic mindset won't give you what you want. God won't change it if there's a purpose for it. Just go through it. We are all in a faith test. Pass it! That's why we need Jesus.

Imagine everybody owns a car in Lagos, or imagine everybody owns a company

or imagine everybody is a Doctor.

Who will patronize each other?

You will now ask if God has chosen some people to be poor or suffer?

The answer is NO.

Let's use the example of the lecturer I gave. He has the power to make everybody pass his course, but why can't he?

He chooses not to, so as to allow normal circumstances take place.

God can make everybody be hale and hearty, but who will now put money in the pockets of the doctors?

Who will patronize pharmacies?

NB: God is not the ruler of the earth, that is why he is preparing a place, where he shall rule over and make everything work according to his own plan.

Don't give up yet.

Really yeah. No one is looking out for u except u (and any other human being that decides to do so).
I think God(or any other higher power of that nature) is just an illusion created by man to provide comfort and hope in times of need. So u can still believe, theres nothing wrong with that.

Well why does he make suffering natural then. I mean if he made everything he should be able to creare a world where money is not needed and food and shelter is in infinite supply, afterall man was meant to be immortal and multiply in the garden of eden, abi what would everybody be eating if we were all stuck there without a meal plan and accommodation

That was the original plan.

By one man... sin entered the world. He now gave us the free will to discern evil and good. He gave us the power to do good and bad. If only we had no beginning where everything was great... I would have concluded so.

The question now is... who brings evil to the world?

The answer is 90% of our fellow Humans!!

I was not trying to argue, just saying my opinion. Btw im not like the athiests that get offended by religious ppl (except some nigerians and africans that will not get off their azzes but rather expect their daily bread to be dropped from the skies and those ppl that think that everybody must worship the same God as theirs or perish, i.e those that tend to rub their religion and holiness in everybody's face)

I believe in God... I believe in Jesus. He has already given me all that I need to succeed in life. So all I need is to sit my ass up and work hard. If things are going south... I remind him that he promised to help... then I double efforts.

That is my belief. He has given us the grace to function well... any other failure is as a result of our own doing.

I like ur opinion, at least ur among the percentage that believes that God helps those who help themselves. But there are thousands of God fearing and hardworking ppl in nigeria that will never get to count even 500k till they die, does it mean they didnt work hard enough or they didnt pray hard enough? They slave away morning till night and barely scrape enough money together to feed themselves. Ppl that were born without the opportunity to go to school(even to primary school level to even give them a chance sef) or gain enough exposure to help them start running the success race, Ppl who have nothing to even work with.
It would seem that God favours those that make his work easy(or those that were born with enough opportunities to make his work easier).
Again, im just speaking from what i see everyday.

Read through my discussions before you conclude.

Just don't stop by at a parable I gave and conclude.

If your child is suffering from full blown appendicitis, what would you do? Will you say that because the operation to make him well would be painful you refuse to let the doctors operate him? Every right thinking parent will allow his child to be operated, even though the operation will cause the child serious pain. At the end of the day the child becomes hale and hearty, is saved. God has allowed us to pass through a similar "operation" for a reason. At the end of the day we will get better, with no more pain, suffering or "operation" to pass through.
