If their is so much suffering, how on earth did humans attribute this to a loving god?

[LaneCh]

Death and suffering is a result of sin. Death was not what we were wired for originally in Adam. After he sinned, death came upon all. In other words, God is not the author of sin. The entire reason Jesus came, died, and rose from the dead was to defeat death. All those who believe on him have eternal life.

[someonewithareallylo]

you didnt answer my question. where did i say death?

[LaneCh]

You said suffering. I was explaining the reason why there is suffering and it is because of sin. Sin is not how we're supposed to be we are because of original sin. I was explaining that because of sin, there is suffering and went ahead to take it to the extreme and say that it leads to death so you wouldn't have a argument to a result that isn't as terminal by already having addressed a greater result.

@Stefatropolis

so you dont believe in God ??

[harleymaori]

you want pleasure with out pain, life with out death, health with out sickness. These things go together like night and day. so called God and Devil, black and white. What you ask for is conflicting and can nwer be true

i agree whole heartedly with this video,

because as a bigoted, ignorant, feckless fuckwit

i agree that people should be excluded for, being gay or worshiping a different god.

if the bible has anything to teach it is that the christian god is a hateful, spiteful and incredibly vain god and that we should all bow to him otherwse we go to hell... yeah inspiring stuff

[MsProcrastination101]

what is this guy sitting on?

[Stefatropolis]

This guy could just as easily be saying, "There's suffering in the world because in the Bible Jesus says, "Suffering and pain in the world will be the proof that I'm real.'", and millions would believe it.

Ask rather, "Why does an all-powerful and all-good Christian God FAIL to accomplish his goals without the occurrence of human suffering? & since he fails to do so, why do you call him all-powerful and all-good? And why do you worship Him? It's taking back the power in the question asking.

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.Hebrews 3:10,15

[CallCentre3294]

whyshouldl - You asked "why do animals catch diseases" and things like that. I think Ray Comfort quoted it in the video, but Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans (chapter 8) that "the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it" - the ground was cursed as a result of Adam's sin, and the whole world is "groaning as in the pains of childbirth". Yet despite all the suffering, Christians have the hope of future glory (Romans 8:18).

Ray's logic: There are children who die of cancer because two people 6000 years ago were tricked into eating fruit by a talking snake.

If God is real, then he is certaintly not a just god. Another important thing to consider is the fact that the Bible says that Adam and Eve ate from the "tree of knowlege of good and evil". What is so terrible about eating from a tree which gives you the knowledge of good and evil?
