Why Does God Allow Sin and Suffering
Word Based Bible Discussion TFI
Many consider the fact that man is fallible and commits sin as an excuse that is not acceptable. Man could do better and be perfect, some think, if he only tried harder. According to many theorists, humans are out of control and the direct cause of their own suffering.
Does God know what He is doing? Has he lost control of his greatest creation? Has the Creator's plans been thwarted by his creation? Why do we, his greatest creation, have all the problems that we do?
So for the poor and the suffering and the starving and sick little children, for them to die is a blessing! It's the ones who are left behind that are to be pitied, the ones who don't die. But those, no doubt, God is trying to teach lessons to and prepare for the afterlife to get them ready to die--which they frequently do soon after their suffering and their sorrow.--David Berg
God knows us and appreciates our struggle. He says He will reward us for it! He wants us not only to live forever but also to have the same wonderful quality of life he possesses. He will give it to us when we overcome Satan's ways. He created man in his own image and likeness. Man's creation is a process that is not finished yet.
Where it all started.
Think about what happened in the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve's creation. Genesis does not mention our first parents receiving a warning that Satan would try to deceive them. The Bible says that Satan was one of the most intelligent and craftiest created beings. Adam and Eve was no match for the devil. God intentionally "let the gate open" for him to enter into the garden and enticed the first couple to sin.
It was a setup.
God wanted Adam and Eve to do what they did. He placed a temptation right in front of them. Adam and Eve were set up to take to themselves the knowledge of Good and Evil. He is in the business of teaching us important lessons. He wants us to be wise as serpents but harmless as doves. (Mt.10:16 & 16:18b) However, to reach his goals, his plan is for us to learn from our mistakes first, from his adversary.
God is not as interested as some think in preventing us from being fallible. There are eternal lessons He wants us to learn. His plan is to insure that no one will ever create Satan's way again. We will know that it does not work because we will have already tried it. It is through the character built in this life, built in “hell,” that will enable us to create "heaven" for all eternity.
To be smarter and wiser than your enemy it pays to know how he thinks. It is perhaps a cliché to say that God is not finished with us yet. However, it is true. He created us and then gave us to Satan for indoctrination. (Mt.8:7-9) Then Jesus comes along to rescue us from our mutual enemy. He gave us the ability to think and think about our thinking. Once he inoculates us with His way of thinking, we can compare his thinking with the way Satan thinks.
God doesn't make mistakes.
God oversees everything that goes on in His universe. He is ultimately responsible for whatever we do, including sin. When we believe in a truly all-powerful Creator, it puts an interesting perspective on just about everything. Jesus told Pilate, who thought he alone had power to kill or release Christ,
"You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." (John 19:11, NIV).
He knows what He is doing and his plan is on schedule. It is accomplishing the goals that He set out for it. He loves everyone. It only makes sense that the Creator of everything would love His greatest creation.

He doesnt you so called christians do!
You don't have to be a Christian to sin! The bible says: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Romans chapter 3, verse 23.
So Bee, you are a sinner the same as anyone else!
the punish time is 1 min for each year.
So she is 4years, i would punish her with a time out for maximum 4 mins.
Not that i needed to do this so far.
The problem was that adam and eve became adults too soon. and with an absent father and really no mother, can you believe the horror, i wouldn't want no mother.
The father also was quite controlling, over-loving and full of himself.
He should have been happy they didn't burn the place down.
Really this father deserves that his children never call and tell him to stick it.
just reading this fiction as a real case.
Real question.
So the ones who die early don't need these lessons?
And i dont give a rats what a book says that was written by "who knows" and is obviously full of contradiction and evil if you believe what is in it!
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” -- "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.--But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Romes 3:10, 4:5 & Matthew 12:36 KJV
Aloha dear neighbors, praying your hearts are settling wherein each have the "Majesty of Choice"! No one is coercing or pushing, just responding according to their choices, commenting their thoughts! Much love and prayers!
