2. WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING?

3. ALL SUFFERING IS A RESULT OF EVIL! Wars, violence, corruption, addiction etc. can all be traced to the sin of mankind. But so can all sickness, disease, plague etc. And so called acts of nature are rooted in evil! PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN:

4. GOD CREATED A PERFECT WORLD THERE WAS NO DEATH OR DECAY. PERFECT COMMUNION BETWEEN MAN & WOMAN & THEIR GOD. NO VIOLENCE BETWEEN MAN AND THE ANIMALS GOD CREATED. ALL WAS PEACE AND ORDER. BUT SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG

5. MANKIND REBELLED AGAINST GOD SIN AND EVIL ENTERED THE WORLD

6. WHAT HAPPENED TO MANKIND? From Genesis 3:1f: 1SICKNESS, DISEASE AND DEATH. 2PAIN IN CHILD BEARING. 3THE EARTH IS CURSED 4TOIL AND HARDSHIP IN PRODUCING FOOD. BUT MORE THAN THIS, FROM ROMANS 8:18-25 WE SEE THAT THE WHOLE OF CREATION WAS AFFECTED!

7. DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT GOD WHO CALLED HIS CREATION VERY GOOD ALSO CREATED THESE? SIN AND EVIL AFFECTED THE WHOLE OF CREATION AS WELL! SIN AND EVIL AFFECTED THE WHOLE OF CREATION AS WELL!

8. WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING? BECAUSE HE LOVES HIS CREATION LET ME EXPLAIN: GOD CAN QUITE SIMPLY REMOVE ALL SUFFERING FROM THIS WORLD RIGHT NOW ALL HE HAS TO DO IS REMOVE THE SOURCE OF SUFFERING – ALL EVIL AND SIN

9. Rom 3:23 (NIV) 23 for all have SINNED and fall short of the glory of God, 1 John 1:8 (NIV) 8 If we claim to be without SIN, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. BECAUSE OF THESE TWO VERSES: GOD WOULD HAVE TO REMOVE ALL OF MANKIND! YOU AND ME!

10. GOD LOVES US, HE HAS NOT INTERVENED BECAUSE: 2 Pet 3:9 (NIV) 9 ….He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. GOD WANTS EVERYONE TO BE SAVED! THIS IS WHY GOD ALLOWS SUFFERING IN THE WORLD

11. GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO FIND SALVATION If you want to know more or how to become a Christian, then contact me through my web site: www.drministries.talktalk.net
