children of Venezuela

Suffering often has incontestable arguments, that is, questions without answers. A prestigious psychiatrist says that there are two types of difficult (perhaps impossible?) Suffering to understand: the suffering of animals and the suffering of children (or defenseless people in general). The one of the animals because when moving by instincts they do not have conscience of the death and what sense has for them to suffer? And that of children, because an argument in favor of suffering is its therapeutic value, and death by illness makes us wonder with helplessness and pain, why did that pain serve it?

Generally, our approach and debate about God and the Bible is done through a conceptual approach although many times a true vocation is given. The theme of suffering touches our hearts, the pain we feel and the pain that overwhelms us.

Why does God allow suffering, natural catastrophes, wars and

poverty?

Is God a masochist God? To think that God acts deliberately and capriciously against the human being exposes us to any misfortune without having even the consolation that God can help us. Then, indignation and rebellion arise from us against God.

Now, is God the ultimate responsible for everything that happens?

Think of the wars and the poverty of this planet. One of the figures used in the Bible to explain God's relationship with people is the figure of a Father and a son. You are a son, right? With common sense and in parameters of normality, can a father stop loving a child? The father protects the are because he loves him, just for this reason. Without referring to God,

Can we explain wars and hunger? Perhaps we are attributing consequences to God without being responsible. On human catastrophes it is difficult to pronounce oneself. On the Tsunami of last December (2004), a Muslim leader attributed to the divine punishment because of the immorality that was manifested. Is there any truth in all this? Is it a manipulation in the name of God? ...?

There are still incontestable arguments about the suffering. For this reason, we have not pretended an arrogant argument to explain many things that simply escape us. All in all, two important things that need to be highlighted:

The first has to with the condition of each one of us. We flee from suffering in search of pleasure. But without wanting to have God, we will never understand why. The admirable in situations that overwhelm us is to know that God knows (although I do not understand) and above all that there is consolation.

Second, the best argument that God has given to experience suffering is Jesus Christ.
