On Friday, December 14, 2012, a twenty-year-old gunman walked into Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut and killed twenty small children and six adults. There are no words to describe how sickening this is. How on earth could God allow it?
Events like this beg questions about God. Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of such evil? In Why Suffering?, world-renowned defender of Christianity Ravi Zacharias and Oxford University philosopher Vince Vitale carefully walk you through a variety of responses that considered cumulatively provide a clear, comprehensive, and convincing case that God is both loving and all-powerful.
Why Suffering? is written with great respect for the complexity of the issue, recognizing that many who read it will be in the trenches of deep suffering themselves.

We need to bring the Kingdom here... “Sometimes I want to ask God why He allows poverty, famine, and injustice when He could do something about it, but I’m afraid he might just ask me the same question.” ~ Baha'i Faith

Exceptional contribution in thank you. I am convinced C.S. Lewis's deeply profound observation that "suffering is God's megaphone to a deaf world" calling us Homeward., summoning is back to the God Principle. The trials we face here recall to mind this is a temporary situation, an adress dwelling place yet not our home. Our lives here on earth do not last., we are inset a fragility, due to the fact we all must die. Allow ourselves an inquiry into the mystery of purposes, we owe to ourselves a thorough examination the evidence, all possible routes taken, let's re-examine motives for living. We must endeaver "to study and show thyself approved," know that an end arises to all accomplishments no matter how grand in extraordinary they be..all is transient here, we must leave by the back door. We cannot complete mission. We must look beyond here an now, shift our focus off the fleeting distractions this world. Search in find, satisfy our longings elsewhere for permanence, for this world is shortfall all expectations in brief span, none otherwise than an ephermal existence. Though fragrant an expression uniquely speciality, we cannot continue, like the early morning mist we fade away, gradually dissipate, gone from sight.

I can’t imagine the amount of suffering you are going through. Im sorry. Read through job. We are living in a broken world and none of us in this lifetime can escape hardships. I’ve prayed for you too just now. Do you have a Christian support network at church? Christian friends to rely on? Usually at times like this, they are supposed to provide emotional, physical and even potentially financial assistance. Are you part of a body of Christ that’s supportive in your community? If not, can you find one?

What His character is and what He says about me and you: God wants you to love Him more than anything/anyone else: Deuteronomy 6:5 God created you: Genesis 1:27 God knitted you together in your mother's womb: Psalm 139:13 You are God's masterpiece: Ephesians 2:10 You are fearfully & wonderfully made: Psalm 139:14 God delights in you: Zephaniah 3:17 You are valuable: John 10:11 (Read all of this parable - God, the good Shepherd, lays down His life for YOU - His sheep - because He sees YOU as valuable!) :) God loves you: John 3:16, 1 John 4:19 God died for you: 1 Peter 2:24 Jesus resurrected, so you will resurrect too: John 11:25 God is your firm foundation: Isaiah 28:16, 2 Timothy 2:19, Acts 4:11 No matter what storm comes, your foundation is secure in Him: Matthew 7:24-27 (SO GOOD!!!) God wants you to be salt & light to the world: Matthew 5:13-16 God works good out of all bad situations: Romans 8:28 God is faithful: Lamentations 3:22-23 You are not alone; God is with you: Matthew 28:20, Acts 17:27, Isaiah 41:10

@@boxingfit yeah, I grew up in England. Although not Ireland itself, similar culture. I get ya. It was super tough for me. I had no clue what I was doing for many years. Yes, brother. We are meant to be like family. Although not blood related. Christians need to support one another. Read the book of Acts. We are meant to operate like that. Supporting each other in men’s bible groups, women’s bible groups, mixed home groups etc. I’ve finally found a group of Christians I can reach out to. To talk, vent my frustrations, ask for prayer, financial assistance during Covid etc. I will pray you start seeking that out. This Christian life was not meant to be walked alone. A supportive, bible based group is out there. Pray and seek. 🙏💕

Greetings from Christ the Lord! “Why the Lord God of Israel allows pain and suffering in the world?” Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them. The Lord God created earth, heavens, Heaven, and every living thing in it to live forever as Him. When Adam and Eve sinned, the world became corrupt with sins and destined to be destroyed and replace with the Kingdom of God. He is a righteous, just and merciful God. He will not destroy the people without giving them a chance to know His truth and to repent. The Lord God is holy. His holiness is like a consuming fire, it will devour everything unholy. Unholy describes as filthy or worthless. That is the reason why He cannot just show up in sky where every eye can see Him. All flesh will die instantly for their uncleanness. He built the country Israel and sent prophets like Moses with His Law and filled them with His Spirit to teach the Jews how they must live holy life. His purpose for bringing His Law is to restore eternal life to them just as the tree lives. You cut down the tree, but it grows back. Job 14 For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender shoots will not cease. Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant. But man dies and [d]is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last and where is he? As water disappears from the sea, and a river becomes parched and dries up, so man lies down and does not rise. till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep. Romans 10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the Law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” The Lord God called Israel a holy country because of their obedience towards the Law of Moses. He showed mighty miracles such as splitting the water, healed the sick and raised the people from the dead as a witness that He is with them. The House of Israel becomes as a light of this world. He was hoping that the people in the world would see His goodness to His children and seek His face by obeying His Law that He commanded to the Jews. Acts 17 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; What is the importance of the Law of Moses? It is not just as a Governing Law, it is the ways, righteousness, or personality of God. If you can follow the personality of God, you become His child, get blessed with many rewards, and live with the Lord God for an everlasting time. Obeying the Law of Moses is the mark that you are the child of God. If you do not like His ways, you become an alien to Him. Disobeying it is the mark that you are the child of the devil. The effect of disobeying the Law of Moses, iniquities as pride, envy, lust, lie, murder, idolatry, and adultery will enter into your heart, that will make you more than nothing and worthless in the eyes of God. Remember king Saul: After he disobeyed the Lord God, distressing spirit as envy and murder came into his heart to hunt king David. 1 Samuel 16:14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a distressing spirit from the Lord troubled him. Psalm 69:27 Add iniquity to their iniquity, And let them not come into Your righteousness. Daniel 4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, “What have You done?” Every word that came out from the mouth of the Lord God cannot be voided nor altered which “every soul that sins shall die. He sent His Son Lord Jesus to save His people from death and Hell. The work of the blood of Lord Jesus is to wash our iniquities in our hearts and minds that came from violating the Law of Moses. If you continue transgressing the Law of Moses, iniquities will continue entering your heart and place you in the same condemnation and enter Hell. The people in the world did not understand the salvation of the Lord God through Moses and His Son Lord Jesus. Christian religion is leading the teaching they are saved by grace through believing in the Lord Jesus and are free or no longer under the Law of Moses. Isaiah 8:20 To the Law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law. Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” The Lord God sent disasters on Gentile nations non stop to vomit them. Jews suffer the same. They whom the Lord God sent to teach His holiness became a partaker of the sins of the Gentiles. Pains, sufferings, famine, wars, fights, and natural disasters, death and Hell are the result of punishment for disobeying His Law. Leviticus 18 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Jeremiah 6:19 Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people- The fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My words nor My Law, but rejected it. People are not supposed to die but ascend to Heaven alive after their life task on earth is finished. Or, even if they die physically, they are supposed to rise from the grave and ascend to Heaven. You did not see this promise being fulfilled because of disobedience towards the Law of Moses. Lord Jesus said you can call Him all kinds of good names or praise Him all you want, but if you disobey the Law of His Father, He cannot save you. Matthew 27 Many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. John 11 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this? James 2 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [h]dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made [i]perfect? The Lord Jesus sent me, His angel, to teach His holiness, so that the Lord God can fulfill His promise which is eternal life to those who believe and follow the teaching of Lord Jesus in Jerusalem and in Mount Zion. Isaiah 28 Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. Also I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; Obadiah 1:17 But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. The Spirit and the bride Mount Zion, Heavenly Jerusalem Hebrews 12 Gabriel, an angel of the Lord

Before I was saved 2 years ago, I rejected the truth my whole life, but when I decided to take it seriously with a humble heart, He made Himself known to me 🙌🏾 I know there is a reason you clicked on this video, you’ve not lost hope deep down, you want peace about the questions you have, you want answers, I’m here to encourage you today, to start again fresh, it’s not too late, you can start again right this second, ask Him to make Himself known to you .. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭💛 feel free to reply back if you have any more questions!
