Many people believe that God punishes people for the bad they have done in the past. What do you think? |

Andy15: When people do wrong, it is given that they are punished. When citizens of a country (even foreigners) go against the laws of that country, they will be punished. when students do not keep the rules of the school, they will be punished. When people sin, they are also bound to be punished by God. However, if these people realize their mistake and sincerely repent, I do not see why they will not be forgiven by God. It is very unlikely that God will look at what a person did 3yrs back and say He wants to punish him now if the person had asked for forgiveness and never goes back to it. God is never the reason for our problems. Our actions usually are. 1 Like |

Benbisco: Great answer! God has already provided that Where there is a Wrong, there Must be a Remedy; Where there is a Conflict, There must be a Resolution. That's why God Made Courts To Correct the Wrongs and Give Remedy to the Injured and also to settle Conflicts Correctly, Goodly, Rightly and Accurately (to the best of human ability) and leaving everyone Accurately Satisfied, Just-Is and Balance. God made Lawyers to Distill the Rights and Goods from the Wrongs and Evils. God made the Judges, who are lawyers themselves, to See the Goods and Do Them as well as Seeing the Evil, to Quench it! But my people on earth do not know these truths for they have allowed Satan to corrupt all, in that they Do No Rights and Goods themselves, therefore how shall they get Rights and Goods too? On one hand. So how shall they not Fear He who Does Rights and Goods when He comes? Shall He not Condemn them for the Evil and Wrongs which they do too? Therefore when the Lord shall Judge, He shall do Just Is! |

If every man follow God's commands there will be no suffering in the first place. Blaming God for suffering will be like a man who buys a brand new Toyota Camry, fuels it with acid and pepper against Toyota's instruction, then blames Toyota for the break down of the vehicle. 1 Like |

Re: Is God The Cause Of Our Suffering by Benbisco(f): 6:11pm On May 31, 2020 |
kingxsamz: This list of incidences of death and destruction in large numbers recorded in history can be better understood when we find out the reasons for their deaths. The first for example, sin had multiplied on the earth greatly and God was not happy with it. He sent several warnings through Noah but the people did not listen. He even told them of the coming destruction and offered room in the ark but they still refused. If after such warnings punishment is meted out, then it is justified. Even as humans, when we set boundaries, especially for subordinates, and they over step those boundaries, we most likely would warn and give room for change. When the expected change does not take place, I believe the next step would be punishment, which would be aimed at serving as a deterrent to others. To the best of my knowledge, I do not think God is so callous as to want to see or watch people suffer or just punish for no justifiable reason. |

kingxsamz:maybe you are misinformed but some of the things you have written conrtain apocryphal such as the book of mac which was never in the original bibles and so contain things that were never done by God however there are some things you wrote that are true and God did kill these people but he always did this to aproper degree and most of them deserved it because of the wicked they had done and if you notice he probably gave most of them time to repent before taking action |
