Let's think bout It, directly or indirectly many religious have thaught that God is the cause of our suffering. For example some say the following:
- natural disasters are purnishment from God
- children die because God need more angels in heaven.
But is possible that religious leaders have misrepresented God? If he did, it would have be contrary to his qualities as it reveals in the Bible.
For example God ways are justice upright and righteous. Deuteronomy 32: 4. It's unthinkable for true God to act wickedly. Job 4:10. The almighty God does not pervert justice.job 34: 12
GOD REJECT RELIGIOU THAT MISREPRESENT HIM.
This includes the religious that teach God causes our suffering and those that are involved in warfare violence. The prophet are prophecesying lie's in my name (God). I have not sent or commanded or spoke to them . Lieing vision and the decieit of their own heart is what they are saying to you. Jeremiah 14:14
JESUS DENOUNCE RELIGIOUS HYPOCRISY
Not everyone saying to me Lord, Lord, will enter into the Kingdom of heaven. But only the one doing the Will of my father is in heaven will. Many will say to me on that day, lord, lord, did we not prophecsy and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name? And then I will declear to them I never knew you, get away from me, you workers of lawlessness. Mathew 7 : 21-23
Humans are responsible for the stuffing. To what extent are humans responsible for our suffering.
Abuse: if research should carried out now, you find out that 1 out 4 adults suffer physical abuse at some point during childhood and 1 out of 3 women experience sexual abuse or both at some point in life.
Health problems: in an article published, more than a billion people smoke and tabacoo is implicated in the top five causes of death. Eg heart diseases, respiratory infection, stroke e.t. c
Social inequality: poverty, relative inequality, being subjected to displacement and competive culture all increase the likelihood of mental suffering.
SUFFERING CAN BE REDUCE
Bible principle promote better Heath and peaceful relationship with others.
A calm heart gives life to the body , but a jealousy is rotteness to the bones. Prob 14:30
Put away from yourself, any kind of malicious bitterness, anger, screaming and abusive speech as well as everything injurious. Ephesians 4:31.
Suppose a father raises his children and provide well for them, later one son rebels and move out of the home, and choose a self destructive life style, would the father be responsible for his conduct? Could the son blame his father for his negative consequences he Experience? in a similar way, we cannot blame God for our suffering .
I pray for the Grace, to put away those bad habit, that can cause us suffering in Jesus mighty name. Amen 🙏 .
