I have been fascinated by the "problem of pain" in this world. How could a loving, all powerful, God let something like this happen? I have researched and taken time to formulate my thoughts into two writings. I would very much appreciate your thoughts and opinions on my writings!

You can find a link to my two writings in my profile, under the "About Me" section in my Bio. They are not very long, so if you have a few minutes please check them out! I would really appreciate it!

Any personal thoughts on this subject I would love too...

You are looking at the wrong "church" then.
In fact, you aren't looking at the "Church" at all.
For in the "Church" there is no one but the Spirits of Just men made perfect, an innumerable company of angels, the Church of the Firstborn in Christ.

In them is no sin, for He has taken away our sins. We have been filled with Christ the Firstborn and are born the Sons of God. We render ourselves servants unto righteousness. Our fruits prove who we are.

Anywhere there is the issues you see and describe going on, they aren't the "Church".

Shalom :)

(Heb 12:22) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
(Heb 12:23) To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
(Heb 12:24) And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

If you believe that there aren't issues of pain in the Church I don't think you've ever stepped foot in the Church. Maybe the "church" you speak doesn't have pain, but the real Church, the one that Jesus came for, is one full of broken and hurting people. That is what is beautiful about, all those broken and hurting people finding Jesus and finding hope and comfort in him.

The Church is filled with pain and suffering, but only temporarily. Jesus will return for His bride and take her away from this hurting world.

I am His Bride.
Jesus came for me.
Jesus Married me.
I was filled with pain. He comforted me.
I was broken. He healed me.
I was hurting. He has wiped away every tear from my eyes.

That is what is so Wonderful about being the Church Bride of Christ, is that He Comes within us, son of God being born within. Our joy is eternal now. Sure we suffer birth pangs and groanings and tribulations in this world, but that is the only Way the Lord brings to Birth the Son of God, Christ in us. But our Joy is for sure. And we Love one another.

He Who heals us of all our pain and sorrow and gives us eternal Life is with us and will never leave nor forsake us. He is Holy He is Spirit He is Christ.
He has delievered us from this old world and we dwell in His New Heavens and New Earth in Mt Sion the City of the Living God the Church of the Firstborn and amongst the Spirits of just men made perfect.
Their is no more sin and death in this Kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven.

Within the walls of Her Royal Palaces is where you are JCP :)
Your Husband wants to come to you now :)

Shalom
