Why does God allow suffering?  

As far as I know, the all things are part of life. If one is born the dead of the same will be sure it is all almighty's pre-planned business and this is how world works. As again for the suffering again I will say that the one getting happiness would get suffered some day. So don't get unhappy enjoy what you have got until now. :)

Even parents will on special occasions let their child do something that is not good for him just because that is the only way they seem to learn. God has given us a choice in what we do. Sometimes a bad choice is pasted onto our children or affect our family in some way. We will never learn how bad sin is until we have suffered it. Once God destroys all sin it must never be allowed to take over again. We ourselves will not want anything to do with sin so we must get our lives in order now.

Maybe because He wants us to learn - learn from our mistakes which we do over and over again. Just like a parent who punishes his/her child for a wrong the child has done. The parent imposes suffering on the child so that the latter will not do the same mistake again. But as human beings, no matter how many times we ask for His forgiveness, we still can't help but commit the same mistakes again. I believe that every time challenges block our way - calamities, catastrophes, personal problems, etc. - He wants to tell us something. And that message is aimed at teaching us to get rid of our sick ways and to follow His will. But then again, oftentimes we can't comprehend right away everything that is happening. So it's really important that we spend moments with Him through praying. And I think it's about time to go back to Him.

It was not the original design of God for man to suffer. Suffering began when Adam disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 3: 16-19, we see that the ground was cursed because of Adam "cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life." While to Eve God said: "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing, with pain you will give birth to children..." As suffering began, so it will end. Christ suffered and died on the cross to remove the curse of sin, the root of all suffering. All who believe in Him shall see and end to their suffering as they are united with Him in heaven.

Suffering is a tool of spiritual growth and discipline. A person will not grow spiritually if he has not gone through so much suffering. Jesus himself confirmed the road through suffering that Christians must walk on to follow him.

Justice is God's not ours. It is important for us to do something to help maintain an atmosphere of objective justice among us. But we cannot bring justice. Ultimate justice comes when Jesus comes back. It also comes to us when we die. So don't expect justice in this world; the prince of this world is never a person of justice. Otherwise you will be gravely disappointed and loss heart.

We are here on earth to test our faith and how much we love love Him and for us to learn of what choices we do..God allows suffering to made us strong.,all the trials that we've encountered are plans of God,,when we pass through that trials it can give us strength and courage.,

parents bring their children to the health center to have vaccination or immunization even though it makes the baby cry they still do it because it can protect their children when they grow up..just like God he gave us trial and suffering not to put us down but to give us lessons to learn...He knows that if we pass that trials it can give us strength and courage to face new challenges in life...just endure to the end n doing or following Gods commandments..the promise blessing is Eternal Life,...
