    Our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to have love love covers everything so I worked hard on that and I can't deal with all the suffering that goes on in this world I know there's a lot of scripture that says that things are not going to be easy I love my son very much I tried to teach him about God so in seeds let's say he knows a lot of things what I did and I did it because I don't want him to suffer in life so what's that said why does there have to be suffering I don't understand and yes I know there's a lot of scriptures about what I'm saying but at the end I'm not going to understand why this has to be that way that's what I'm afraid of sorry for all the texts thank you

    Mount Horeb REPLY:

    John Ray: I hope I'm answering your question correctly. These scriptures will help.

    We have an example of Jesus talking to his disciples. he was speaking in a illustration, but they took it quite literally.

    by means of this, many left Jesus because his speech was shocking. Jesus viewed this as a betrayal. to leave him because they didn't get the point. the question is, why didn't they ask him to explain? they no longer wanted to follow him. These are what you call unbelievers. Peter and the twelve, did not leave Jesus; and believed that what he was saying meant everlasting life. even if they didn't understand what he meant, they believed that Jesus was send by God. Those who don't believe Jesus; He Considers these ones lacking faith, unbelievers, Goats, bad fruit, hypocrites, and slanderers etc. John 6:25-71

    Unbelievers have a Father, And his name is... John 8:44,45; John 8:31-47

    Thanks!

    JRay, Suffering is not normal. when Jehovah ( psalm 83:18) created the earth,

    his motives was for man and woman to take care of the earth. to enjoy his

    creation, to take care of the animals. to enjoy the richness that the earth provided.

    he created the ground to give in abundance, so that poverty was impossible. God

    started the earth in the garden of Eden. Jehovah and the heavens was his the main

    authority to mankind according to Genesis 1,2. there were no kings, rulers in the beginning.

    But this happened to mankind: Genesis 3; Genesis 6; Genesis 19; Job 1,2; Luke 4:1-13

    it just getting worse and worse. 2Timothy 3:1-7

    It's a heavenly war, and a invisible war ( Revelation 12:7-13) we humans may not understand but God has revealed it to us in human terms. although the innocent are dying because of 1 John 5:19. WE KEEP THE HOPE AS GOD WANTS US TO: Romans 15:4-6; Revelation 21:3-5

    We continue in the hope. Job 14:14

    IF YOU READ ALL THESE SCRIPTURES YOU WILL SEE WHY MANKIND ARE SUFFERING.

    I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.

    Dear John Ray , I barely remember any scriptures by heart so don't beat yourself up over that , just try to keep an appreciation for and a love of God and Jesus in your heart every day , see them everywhere and let them work in you to show others their love . Love is the key , you can remember that I'm sure :) .
