Why Does God allow suffering?

Suffering was never God's intention for the human race. God allowed suffering to enter this world because men and women choose to sin. Some religions teach karma, and some teach cause and effect, but the principle is the same. When the human consciousness develops and insensitivity to God who we all were made in His image, we actually forget that God is living in this world and suffers with those who are the most vulnerable. An insensitivity to the belief of God, or wrong thinking about God can lead even those in religion to cause great suffering to mankind their brothers and sisters. Preaching the bible is good, but even those who can preach love fail to act in loving ways which reflect the God they are choosing to worship. The purpose of religion is to save souls, but it is also to change the person. God didn't give us free will and faith so we could claim our souls were saved and live with no motivation be be better people.

The Christian gospel is a gospel that is to be active not passive, in the same way that God is active in His world. If God was inactive in this world we would all be in hell right now. Because God chooses to use His power to show that He still exists, we can have faith that one day all suffering will end. When we put anything above God, God is displeased so the greatest sin is living in this world without giving God our full lives. The problem with some people of faith, is that they rest too easy thinking that they can live in any way because their sins are forgiven.

Yes, it is true that God forgives our sin, but the greatest sin that He won't forgive is our lack of love and full commitment to fully represent Him here on earth. Jesus taught this, and all the greatest saints christian and non-christian taught that they lived their lives in total surrender to the will of God for their lives. The reason why we suffer is because some of us don't love God more than our own lives, and for that this God will hold them accountable. To live for money and gain if you don't have it is not as great a sin as to live for money and gain if you already do have it. The reason why we suffer is because people don't want to live their lives totally for God, which causes them to act in ways that they hurt other people and hurt God in the process. There are natural laws which man must obey if he or she wants to be happy, and it is by breaking these natural laws that cause the greatest suffering in man, and in beast, and in the societies that we live. Some call it karma, some the ten commandments, what ever you call it, it is the breaking of these natural laws that causes suffering in man and woman. This is Mike.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

How Believing in God Changes Your Perspective on Time.

When you have an awareness of the Divine your perspective on time changes. Uncertainty can be the cause of a lack of belief in God. In generations past our culture has had more of an awareness of God and lived with more certainty. The bible is not just a story book for the present moment, it contains the past, the present, and the future in it. The Holy Spirit can give us a perspective that holds the past, the present, and the future, and allows us to see God’s whole picture, despite what we may be feeling or experiencing around us or in our lives. Trials and persecution can make it difficult to see the whole picture, but I believe that it’s a gift of God to live with this perspective. Unbelief can hinder us from “seeing it all” and insecurities and weaknesses can also disable us from living with this certainty. Also the fear of death, or impending doom, can erase God’s perspective of the future, because our minds get clouded with fear, and we are not able to perceive reality prope

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
