Why GOD allows all this ?

[Dinu]

.. Shall we accept good from God,
and not trouble?
.Job 2:10​

This is an often asked question. When this question is asked many are thinking about wars, natural disasters, terrorism and many other awful events. But allow me one question: why we choose to have such negative thinking? Have we ever thought why God allows us so much good ? For example a healthy life, a happy and stable family, a job, fridges with plenty of food and many others.. Is God obligated to give us all that? Or HE gives us from His goodness? Let’s imagine life in a big city. How much lie, corruption, sexual abuse, theft, brutality saw God there in the last 24 hours! It wasn’t something unmeaningful.. How God reacted? Did He let fire fall from the sky? Did He close the door on everyone who looks for salvation?..
NO. The citizens continued their lives with God’s gifts. Like me and you. But who thanks God for that ? Who gives at least a thought about Him for all this blessings? But suddenly when sadness and disaster hit us, God is on everyone’s lips . Then the “Why?” question is coming, where we often have no answer. Job knew this question. But he thanked God for the good and the bad in his life and received everything with faith. That is what matters.. to receive everything from God with a good heart. HIS greatest gift is HIS beloved Son, Jesus Christ who died for sinners like me and you. He is the answer to all the questions !

GOD bless everyone ! ​

If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that...

Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2)

And there are three varieties...

Natural E/c2 - All mass is basically cooled plasma
Mental E/c2 - Mentally, A mathematical formula, but this has chemical and spiritual properties as well.
Spiritual E/c2 - E (motivation, warmth, love) / c2 (faith, hope, charity, joy)

In this equation we also find that mass can disassociate into plasma, and that plasma can cool back into mass. All to the Fathers will and liking. And the mass is going to disassociate into plasma one more time...

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. - 2 Peter 3:10

God is going to have a lot of plasma energy to recreate with,

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. - Isaiah 65:17

I want to be there to find out what God is going to do with all that plasma energy... For the size of the universe is immense! In the meantime we must have faith that God will take care of us between now and then. God bless!

Very Profound!

You are right, most people and even believers think that way. We don't learn anything if we have everything, it is in the darkest and scariest times that we learn and grow and become what He has made us for.

King David knew the good and the bad, the beautiful and the really ugly, the fear and the glory and he knew something that was best to know, to Praise God in everything!

Psalm 150 really speaks to this.

Let Everything That Has Breath

1Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

2Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

3Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

4Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

5Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

6Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

I am thankful for Jesus Christ.

can you rephrase your question ...

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

But allow me one question: why we choose to have such negative thinking?

Who is "we" ?

The ekklesia are continually full of JOY, PEACE, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, so
to whom do you refer with "we" ?

Great post!

Psalm 103
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Who is "we" ?

The ekklesia are continually full of JOY, PEACE, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, so
to whom do you refer with "we" ?

"We" are the ones who ask the question "Why GOD allows all this ?"

 

[Dinu]

"We" are the ones who ask the question "Why GOD allows all this ?"

I asked myself that question before, until Jesus came into my life.

Very good answer , yes - and seen by Corrie ten Boom during the holocaust/ prison camps/ death camps/ extermination camps/ where
she learned (see her testimony on youtube if possible)
the deepest of God's Love, Purpose, Plan and Forgiveness and Joy
IN PRISON (like when all the Apostles sang hymns and psalms of praise worshipping YHWH while they were in chains in stone cold rock prisons and subject to being beaten and executed too ) ...

YHWH gave them strength to endure, perfect peace that no one could shake, unspeakable overflowing joy that the world can never understand , and righteousness in the midst of all the persecution.... pure gentle hearts with no evil thoughts remaining even about their torturers and captors.. or any of the enemy...

To the ones who ask the question "Why GOD allows all this ?"(bad things that happen), my main question is " Have we ever thought why God allows us so much good ?".

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

my main question is " Have we ever thought why God allows us so much good ?".

As written:
even for the wicked, YHWH provides the necessities for life - for the unrighteous as well as for the righteous, YHWH sends the rain and the sunshine ....

Thank you ! I will check her testimony. GOD comes to anyone who looks for HIM from the bottom of their heart.. no matter where they are
