Why does God allow Suffering?

I am going to summarize what is linked below.

Basically Satan questioned God's right to rule mankind. Since then many men have questioned God's right to rule mankind. Man tries to rule themselves, and look at the results. We have a multitude of corruption, hypocrisy, and evil, all from our leaders no less! With time, this evil world will end up destroying itself, which is what God will step in to stop, after finally proving that Mankind is incapable of ruling itself.

Matthew 24:21,22 "21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short."

Read paragraphs 11-18 from the following link.

Any questions I will be happy to answer, knowing full well that this is the internet :)

Also for answers to other questions take a look at these:

"If only God were a such a great guy and afforded everyone such "privilege"

I won't be bothered to speak to a lunatic so don't bother wasting characters."

Is your argument then that if God had afforded everyone this privilege then they would have believed? I tell you the truth, if they do not heed all the many signs of God in this world, even if someone rises from the dead and tells them, they will not be convinced.

Also, by saying "lunatic", your argument falls into the category of abusive ad hominem, aka attacking the arguer instead of the argument.

"Yeah you're right, they were worshipping the Sun and , not because they were ignorant, but because they were intentionally hiding themselves from salvation."

They were not ignorant, instead they did realize that a being such as God did exist, and they sought after this God. They may not have known the full truth, but in God's wisdom, he may have revealed some to them. If their hearts were turned towards God, they, too would earn a place in paradise. You, on the other hand, have the privilege of hearing the gospel and yet reject it completely.


Your baseless and uninformed opinion on a matter you clearly know 0 things about have been noted

If tthey had run away, they too, would not have been ."


BeauTYful on disease

"They did realize they had a plague, they may not have known the full truth, but if they had turn to Gods wisdom, they could have been cured like our reat Modern American white doctors cure plagues all the time."

Native Americans don't go to hell.

According to some belief systems, american indians would be thought to go to hell because they do not worship the christian god. But they don't.
