Briefly summarize the problem of evil and suffering. Cite and reference
the topic overview and/or Chapter 9 in the textbook.
Everybody always asks how an all-powerful God would let his own creation
suffer. Suffering has never been a component of what god made, but rather something
made by mankind when we all committed a sin. God made us all with free will that
permitted everyone to rebel and fulfill ourselves from the Lord. The topic overview
discusses Job and why he is the prime example of pain and misery (Topic 6 Overview,
2017). With gratitude God frowned at Job, since Job really was a loyal follower. Satan
sought to argue that Job was just a loyal follower, since he was so rewarded by God. Then
God let Job withstand immense suffering. The existence of Job was quite decimated but
he remained obedient to god. God, seeing the faithfulness of Job, rewarded him with
more than that which he had earned. If we remain strong throughout our religious beliefs,
God will help us to see through the hardship we encounter, and cherish us all for haven't
ever scowling his word or surrendering.
