Why does God allow so much pain?

[~~ angelique ~~]

I am finding that I am experiencing anger at God for allowing things to happen in my life.

:taped:

Thanks for your responses but I still don't understand.

We live in a sin cursed world and because of it the sun as well as the rain befalls us all.

The answer for me in my life is God used all the bad to show me all the good. My husband and I are going through so much right now ourselves with his business and sometimes its hard for me not to get upset or even angry about it all. When I feel all of it ganging up on me I turn to God in prayer and talk it out with Him. Its took me a long time to learn to let it go when things started to get to me. I have found such great joy and peace in the knowledge that whatever comes my way God is there to hold me up. I pray that you are able to find resolution to your troubles and find peace in God's love.

Why does God allow so much pain? Is God strong enough to stop some of it? I don't understand. :41:

There are some things we do not understand completely about his plan of salvation, happiness, We do not comprehend why or wherfore at the moment of hardship and extreme pain, but as time gos on we do become aware of the reasons and the blessings that come from therofe from the pain and sufferings. To be able to understand even partially we must have complete faith, understanding of the eternal nature of our excistance; and the blessings of not only this world; but the world yet to come.

Satan obtains leave to try Job.

Job's afflictions began from the malice of Satan, by the Lord's permission, for wise and holy purposes. There is an evil spirit, the enemy of God, and of all righteousness, who is continually seeking to distress, to lead astray, and, if possible, to destroy those who love God. How far his influence may extend, we cannot say; but probably much unsteadiness and unhappiness in Christians may be ascribed to him. While we are on this earth we are within his reach. Hence it concerns us to

be sober and vigilant, 1Pe 5:8. See how Satan censures Job. This is the common way of slanderers, to suggest that which they have no reason to think is true. But as there is nothing we should dread more than really being hypocrites, so there is nothing we need dread less than being called and counted so without cause. It is not wrong to look at the eternal recompence in our obedience; but it is wrong to aim at worldly advantages in our religion. God's

people are taken under his special protection; they, and all that belong to them. The blessing of the Lord makes rich; Satan himself owns it. God suffered Job to be tried, as he suffered Peter to be sifted. It is our comfort that God has the devil in a chain, Re 20:1. He has no power to lead men to sin, but what they give him themselves; nor any power to afflict men, but what is given him from above. All this is here described to us after the manner of

men. The Scripture speaks thus to teach us that God directs the affairs of the world. (Job 1:13-19)

I think all things work towards good to them that love and serve Him as the Bible says. We grow through tribulation and trials so they have their purpose. We come to the point of feeling the peace in His love no matter what life throws our way after a time. He is our only refuge.

But, didn't God point job out? Pretty much he was saying, sickem. I still don't get it. sorry.

[Joshua-777]

Why does God allow so much pain? Is God strong enough to stop some of it? I don't understand. :36:

God never said we wouldn't suffer, he does say that he will give us peace through the sufferings, There is a reason for suffering, James 1:2-6, Romans 5:1-8

When we suffer, we actually gain in endurance and character, and it greatly increases our faith, God is strong enough to stop all of it, and he does stop a lot of it, I have seen some amazing miracles happen.

Why does God allow so much pain?

Did you know that God feels pain, too?

Every day He is rejected.

Every day people curse Him.

Every day He endures being hated.

Every day He is left out of the lives of those He loves.

Every day He is dis-esteemed, dishonored and de-valued.

Every day people honor Him with their lips but dishonor him with their lives.

Every day those He loves abuse His name for personal gain.

And every day the ones He loves hurt each other.

Why doesn't God stop people from hurting Him?

If you can find the answer to this, you may find the answer to what you seek.

Prayers for your freedom and healing.

But even if God does play dice with the universe, who are we to complain about it? Its his property.

Property? Are we supposed to be mindless slaves with no feelings as to the the dice rolled our way?
