  • Ok dude u are way off god"s will was never to suffer trust me if that were true there wouldnt have been a paradise in the first place the real reason why god allows suffering is because the world si not falling into his power but the one who opposes him, satan has the world in his grip and is causing untold caos not every religion knows this so think about it and tell your friends.

  • @kweber6497 In this video, Anyabwile is speaking specifically about the sufferings or trials of Christian believers. The examples you gave are asking the question: Why is there evil in the world? Death, rape, murder, starvation, pain, misery, abuse, etc. are all examples of evil in the world. All of them stem from the selfish desires of a person to do what he wants regardless of what others think. This is what we call sin. Adam and Eve brought sin in; Jesus Christ frees us from it.

  • @kweber6497 So why do you care? Where did that concern come from? Hmm, I guess we are just a glob of amoral, illogical chemical reactions doing what we 'please.' 

  • This is absurd. Why would a loving caring all powerful god need to create massive suffering for mysterious purposes? Allowing children to starve to death and be beaten murdered and raped is for the praise of the glory of god. God is something that was created to allow man to feel better about existing. Without having a meaning to exist most people cannot go on. Why is it so hard to believe that life is just life and when its over its over?

  • @KARENKKD ye, perhaps

  • @DrXoz oh nice to virtually meet you. The JW's must have some of the samwe views you have because they speak of the same things you've mentioned. That's pretty interesting.

  • @KARENKKD no im a muslim witness hahaha

  • wow! I love the way this man spoke his response.very clear. God bless him.

  • @DrXoz ahhh.... you must be a jevoha witness.

  • @onemustaskwhy Read Job again. Yes as humans we have caused much suffering, but to say that we created suffering is a lie. I completely agree that we should help those in need, just like the Word tells us to.
