Redefinition of words and concepts.
Pain is bad.
Suffering is bad.
Curses are bad.
Blessings are good.
Hell is pain and bad.
Sin is bad.
Righteousness is good.
Heaven is good.
I suppose if you are a SM then pain and suffering would be "good."
Joke:
[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] to Sadist: "Hurt me!"
Sadist to [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]: "nooooo..."
If suffering was bad, why would this scripture exist?
Isaiah 53:4
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
Hebrews 2:10
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
Why would God afflict Jesus with suffering if it was bad? If all you can see is the pain, then you will always believe that suffering is bad. If you can look beyond the pain, and see what God is doing, then you will see that suffering is not always bad,t hat there are other issues to be considered and that sometimes, suffering is actually good for us.
