AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been healed. |
Subject: How can God let us go through pain? |
Bible Note: And on we go... You wrote: "Therefor, if we suffer, it must be Gods will that we suffer and: . We should be content with the assurance that God (through His GRACE) will help us get through it." That's what the BIBLE says. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 again. . We should be content with the assurance that God will NEVER ask us to bear any burden which we are unable to bear (even if it KILLS us). God ordains our suffering: "therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are SUFFERING." --2 Thessalonians 1:4-5 And yes, God ordains that some will DIE for the gospel. ". We should be content with the assurance that our suffering WILL end when we DIE (As opposed to the unbeliever whose suffering will never end)" Yeah, like the BIBLE says: "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us." --Romans 8:18 Now no one who has their theology based on Scripture would say that God is powerless to end our suffering, and indeed He often does to show His power and glory. But we see in cases such as Job 1 where it is both intended and decreed by God for a particular purpose. Now on to your blasphemous errors regarding the character and nature of God... --Joe! |
