Why World & Women are Suffering?
Q: The longer I live and the more I read the Bible, the more I question Gods love. Especially his love for women. I don’t understand why he created this messed up earth that’s been nothing but destruction and suffering since the beginning of time.
God knew everything before it happened. I’m not God but I cannot even fathom why he would create us in the first place. It’s sadistic. Also if God gave us free will, he should EXPECT that we are going to be enraged by the suffering that he’s just watching unfold.
I don’t feel like God even cares about me. I don’t ever recall feeling joy. Even in childhood. I grew up in church and still never felt loved. I don’t understand why God blatantly ignores us when we are at our lowest. I need intense prayers. It’s messed up because we shouldn’t even have to have a bunch of people praying for God to want to intervene. I hate this life. At this point I’m not following God out of my own free will… just following him because I HAVE TO. I’m so weak emotionally and I’m spiritually drained. I have completely given up hope and I’m just waiting for it to be over.
A: God didn’t create the problems - man created for themselves by choice. Did he allow it? Yes. Because he did grant us minds of our own. The things that happen in the world are not God’s fault. The evil and hurtful things that make our world so dark are because of man’s rejection of God and disobedience and rebellion. Yet as a believer He allows you to honor him with your life, but when you choose not to, there are consequences.
I am sure your sins cause others suffering in this world too. When we have pitty parties we can somehow think we are never the problem, but the Bible is the mirror reflecting truth of our fallen nature too. You would want othets to forgive you all those things and when you regularly mess uo...and not condemn you right? God is also patient with us and the world, so many can be saved.
It is good to be righteously angry at all the evil in the world, God's wrath is more than we can fatgom against sin, but we have a understanding of it based on Jesus suffering in our place on the cross; for each believer that ever did and ever will exist. And by what Scripture tells us of his wrath and the eternity that awaits those who reject Christ; daying in their sins.
In this fallen world God doesn’t ignore us, especially His Children...we just dont understand what he us doing, but need to trust Him. And often times, our wants are not in line with His will, nor is our desired timing of His answers the same as when the time is correct for Him to fulfill HIS will. God desires the best for us, hurts when we hurt, but the allowance of struggle and trial is, more often than not, if not always, for our benefit and for his glory. How you perceive and react to what you are going through will effect how you perceive God and who He is - but none the less He still stands as God of all, in control of all, and His will prevails. I’d suggest reading the book of Job. Satan had to receive permission from God to stump Job, and yet in all his trial, Job stayed faithful to God. Nothing happens outside of God’s plan so hang in there.
We have countless examples of all these things in Scripture and how the evil world treats believers, the prophets and Apostles. Even if great wickedness
I’m sure you’re hurting right now because of numerous statements you have made. I have to caution you even in your anger that you are careful not to charge God foolishly. But I also hope the below blesses you, and I will pray for you too.
Do not let Satan decieve you by whispering in your ear. Trust God. Scripture shows clearly He alone is faithful and trustworthy. 🤗⭐

" For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. "
~ Titus 3: 3-7
