A Suffering God

God of Pain Most people in the world know who they are, what God is. Regardless of whether they believe in God, they all have some of the concepts used to define God. Traditionally, mainly due to classical theology, people mainly define God through his totipotency. Many people have an image of God, the most powerful ruler in the whole universe. These ideas come from the state of mind, it makes sure that the greatest existence must be a man with all power. They imagine the existence far beyond the world, and he is not affected by humans.

First, the Bible confirms that God chose to forgive the pain. God is a designer of plans to allow crime and suffering. God does not approve of sin and its consequences (suffering), but it is not responsible for it but is here with his permission. With his omniscience (all knowledge), he knows the plans he chose. Even if it allows crime and suffering, it ultimately brings the greatest good and glory. There is no place in the Bible that God is overcome by the power of sin; that pain is forced to enter his world contrary to his will. No, he is a prince who "will please all things according to his own will" (Ephesians 1:11)

Suffering is not part of the first order created by God (Genesis 1-2). There is no suffering in the world until people betray God. Even if God created a new heaven and a new earth, there is no pain (Revelation 21). No more pain, no more crying. Adam and Eve sinned, so they just entered the world. Therefore, it is a person invading the world of God. If all suffering is the result of direct or indirect sin, why does God allow sin to enter this world? He did this because he wanted to love us and give us free will. If it is forced, love is not love; if there is a real choice it can only be love. God gives mankind the freedom to choose or love or love without love. Given this freedom, men and women chose to violate God's law from the beginning. The result is suffering. C. Again as S. Lewis said:

God is not only a victim of God but also a god who is suffering. Human suffering and corruption entered into his heart. I saw the god suffering through the prism of tears. It is said that no one of God can live looking at his face. I always thought that this meant that no one could see his glory and life. A friend said that maybe this means that no one can see his sorrow and life. Probably his sorrow is wonderful. I appreciate that in Christian tradition we can build our relationship with God that Christ came to the world and suffered and died on the cross for the sins of humanity. Christ understands our sufferings and is with us. Unlike our 'fusion' culture, we need time to eliminate vague losses. When we grieve and grieve, God approaches us. He heard our whining. It is his nature to approach those who suffer.
