@onevoice,
My friend, these are nice sentiments, and please be assured, I do not wish to infer that God specifically causes suffering, moreso that it is apparent that he allows it, which requires a satisfactory explanation.
Quote:Suffering has a much greater purpose than people realize
Quote:His purpose is easy. To show us that it's not Him doing those things to us. We are doing them to each other and then blaming Him
What of sickness, pestilence and natural disasters? are these man's doing? What of children that die of a young age, how are they to come to know Gods love?
Must man suffer to know love? In what ways are such love made manifest?
I appreciate your patience chap, I ask a lot of questions, but I assure you it is in good spirit that I do so,
