- Suffering
- Story of Job
- Job is innocent and free from sin
- The devil challenges God to put Job's fate to the test
- God destroys Job's business, kills his children and gives Job a painful illness
- Job remains faithful throughout his pain and believes it is the Lord's right to take away what Job had.
- God rewards Job and gives him everything back three fold.
- Natural Suffering
- When there is no one to blame
- Beyond human control
- Makes people question God. If he is omnipotent, why does he not stop it?
- Believer may say God is responsible for Earth, not the people on it.
- Christian View
- Free will to choose actions that cause suffering
- We are suffering from Adam and Eve's sins
- Jesus came to save people from this sin so they could have a relationship with God
- Still suffer because of human actions and ability to do right and wrong
- The Fall
- When humans fell out of God's favour.
- Suffering is a result of free will
- Suffering may be a punishment for sin
- Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Ate from the tree of knowledge.
- Due to Adam and Eve's actions, human would no longer live eternally but become old and die
- Blamed each other for their sins. Upset God and sent them away from the Garden of Eden
- Karma
- Law of cause and effect
- People "reap what they sow"
- Suffering may result in actions from past life.
- Living a good life can make up for evil actions in this or previous lives.
