World Suffering...


God is good. The problem is that we often blame God for our problems. Most of the terrible things that happen today are a product of man's sin. Sickness, abuse, disease and crime are all but just a part of the pain that mankind has brought on himself. If a child is killed, it is not God who murdered that child; it is man through his own selfish greed. God has allowed man the ability to make choices. Some of those choices are good and many are bad. If God intervened in every situation if would take away from man's inherent ability to decide his own fate. As we all know we do not live in a world that is an island for each person. Our actions affect other lives. If a child is killed that child is now in the loving arms of God, never to suffer again. We do not understand this because we are not eternal in the sense that God is. God is supreme and always knows what is best. It is hard for us humans to trust him, but he is God, not us. He does know what is best.

Yes a lot of people blame God for bad things that happen in their life. God is not to blame for anything that happens to us.
