I have a grown daughter, and my life has been full of sorrows especially deaths to face. Most of my family are gone. I feel i am at a cross roads now , and have no answers.I am saved , and have studied JOB i think you refered to in your answer.God removed the hedge from Job and let the devil test him . God has removed the hedge from my family many times and I stood steadfast. God has always been in my life.My question is Who or what stoped God from changing his mind. He could have and Not condemed mankind to death ,and especially pain.We loved us yet he alone said we must die yes but why suffer. Pets also were given as mans' companions yet they suffer.

Hi, beach! It was not meant to be like that... but Adam failed the test and sin and mortality entered Creation: I shall put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; it will bruise your head and you will strike its heel.' To the woman he said: I shall give you intense pain in childbearing, you will give birth to your children in pain. Your yearning will be for your husband, and he will dominate you. To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat, Accursed be the soil because of you! Painfully will you get your food from it as long as you live. It will yield you brambles and thistles, as you eat the produce of the land. By the sweat of your face will you earn your food, until you return to the ground, as you were taken from it. For dust you are and to dust you shall return.' (Genesis 3:15-16) God would not be a just God if He were to spare some the consequences of sin while exacting retribution on others. Jesus Himself suffered for all of us so that we may obtain salvation (Isaiah 52:13 through 53:12), through the cleansing of His Blood. I just recently suffered a loss... though it was a difficult time, I prayed that the Holy Spirit enlighten my aunt's spirit so that she would open her mind, heart and spirit to God... She died in peace and accepting God's Love and Mercy! She died in the Lord, what great comfort for the rest of us!: Can anything cut us off from the love of Christ--can hardships or distress, or persecution, or lack of food and clothing, or threats or violence; as scripture says: For your sake we are being massacred all day long, treated as sheep to be slaughtered? No; we come through all these things triumphantly victorious, by the power of him who loved us. For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nothing already in existence and nothing still to come, nor any power, nor the heights nor the depths, nor any created thing whatever, will be able to come between us and the love of God, known to us in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:35-39) Now, Jesus never said that we are to inhibit our feelings... He even cried at witnessing Lazarus' sisters pain though He knew that He would soon resurrect Lazarus. There are many Scriptures that talk about our suffering... I like the following two passages best: It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the harships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church, (Colossians 1:24) But anybody who tries to live in devotion to Christ is certain to be persecuted; (2 Timothy 3:12) Satan appropriates our sufferings and our doubts to separate us from Christ (Genesis 3:15 and Revelation 12); but we have God's Love to nourish us and to sanctify us through our sufferings and persecutions! Here are some more Scriptures to help us endure and flourish: Philippians 4:13; 1:27 through 2:13 1 Peter 2:20-21; 3:14-15; 4:13 Romans 8:18 2 Corinthians 1:7 Hebrews 5:8 Let's allow Christ to be our strength! (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) God Bless! Angel |
