Nally Gold & Silver Thoughts on Pain & Suffering


Someone called me out on my faith the other day and asked me. Do you believe in God? I replied well yes. Then they asked. How can God who is supposed to be good let so many bad things happen in life to people who are undeserving? I thought about this question for many hours finally reaching what I thought was a good answer. I replied I believe that God created the world with an unexplainable amount of planning and preparing, because God is divine he placed all that is in the earth here for our use and consumption, he carefully calculated goods, and resources, energy's we would need and made the world to where it could thrive and grow and develop. But then came sin, I started to think that why are some people so rich and successful and others barley make it or starve to death.  I think it is because the abundance and the human desire to have more, greed takes what was meant by Christ to be shared so that we all may be able to eat and survive, but greed divides up the resources  unevenly making it to where some have more and others have less, but there was one more idea that came to mind when I though some rich and successful people become poor and they to are laid to rest and go through pain and suffering as well. The second reason for pain and suffering is by the choice of the person . A successful business man can turn to drugs and cause him or herself harm, just as a poor homeless person can, this means our choices can alter our lives and bring on suffering and pain. Free will is a powerful thing it can literally alter the exact moment. One single choose or decision can change ones destiny.
