Why Did Suffering Start?
Since God purposed for Humans to have such a marvelous future, why did he permit suffering to start? why has he allowed it for so long?
When God created Adam and Eve, He made them perfect in body and mind. He put them in paradise garden and gave them satisfying work to do. The bible states: "God saw everything he had made and, look! it was very good." (Genesis 1:31) If they had obeyed God, they would have produced perfect children, and the earth would have become a global paradise, where people would have become a global paradise, where people would live for ever in peace and happiness.
God implanted Adam and Eve the wonderful gift of free will as part of the human makeup. They were not to be mindless robots. However, their continued happiness depended upon their using free will in the right way-to obey God's laws. God says: "I, Jehovah, am you God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself, the One causing you to tread in the way in which should walk."(Isaiah 48:17) Misuse of free will would result in catastrophe, since humans were not created to be successful independent of God. The Bible says: "To earthling man his way does not belong. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step, - Jeremiah 10:23.
Sadly, our first parents felt that they could be independent of God and still be successful. But when they pulled away from God's ruler ship, he no longer sustained them in perfection. So they began to degenerate until they got old and died. Consistent with the laws of genetics, we have inherited that imperfection and death. - Romans 5:12.
they remaining will be continued next week....
