How do we know that our suffering is not punishment from God?

Description

Religious leaders sometimes make people believe that God is cruel. When something terrible happens, they say that it’s God’s will. They say that he wanted it to happen. When they say this, they are really blaming God. But the Bible teaches that God is never the source of evil. James 1:13 tells us that God does not test anyone with evil things. It says: “When under trial, let no one say: ‘I am being tried [or, tested] by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone.” This means that even though God hasn’t stopped bad things from happening, he never makes them happen. So we may ask, “if God isnt the cause of our suffering, who or what is?” I’d like to share what the bible has to say about this with you. You may contact me through a few avenues. Craigslist email relay is easiest, secure for both of us, and recommended. If our discussion goes further, we can converse via text or Zoom. I hope to hear from you.
