1 | The Suffering of the Church | Acts 8:2 | strts5 | 217627 | ||
CDBJ, If God calls you to China to be a missionary and while there you are arrested, sent to labor prison and die, you will be rewarded in Heaven for your suffering. Was the suffering good or evil? The suffering was evil! God is rewarding you for the evil you endured for His name sake and counting it as good. Suffering is the physical manifestation of evil! I don't understand how very educated people can be so confused about a very simple concept. In love Mike |

Mike, You are correct, it is a simple concept. But how does it relate to it being evil. There's more to this than what we see on the surface. We need and should go beyond what we see on the surface. 2 Timothy 2:15. Mike go deeper, go deeper. In Him, lionheart |

Everyone, All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. I am teachable, and I feel I have misspoke. There is discipline from God which may seem to be suffering while it lasts. I think I could take the conversation into semantics and say there would be no discipline without sin (evil) but while in this life both will continue. I made a blanket statement and I will concede and accept correction. In Him, Mike |

Dear Mike I'm sure all of us have made a blanket statement at some stage which was later shown to be incorrect. I certainly appreciate your honesty and willingness to "concede and accept correction". Hope we all are marked by that same spirit. And I say that first of all to myself! In Him David |
