The book of Genesis tells us how Satan deceived Adam and Eve into taking the apple from the tree of knowlege – God cast Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden, and as the account goes on to tell us… they began to die….. as we know from the account they didnt die immediately but their bodies began to die, much like our bodies do today……. past a certain age our bodies deteriate…….. just like then, in our day Satan continues to mislead people, causing havoc and suffering around the world….. Revelation chapter 12 verse 7 to 9 tells us that Satan was cast down from the heavens to earth and that he is misleading the entire inhabited earth……………….. Thus it is not God causing this suffering its Saten…. and one day God will put an end to it once and for all and restore the earth to its original intention ‘ a garden of Eden for us all….. Revelation chapter 21 verse 4 tells us ” He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry not pain be any more for the former things have passed away”

Human suffering is a theological question indeed.Therefore, the exstence of God is also being questioned. In my view, God gives us “free will” and this guides us to do things at our own expense. However, during our prayers we ask for protection. In our Christian faith there are guardian angels to protect young kids. But then, where were they when kids were raped or being abused? Until now, 4 years after I studied theology, this is still unclear to me. All I learned are discourses. I do believe in God and always whisper a little prayer for justice, peace and protection.

Because without suffering, there’d be no compassion.
