I am Jewish and exploring. What i just can't understand is God is good, why is the world filled with so much suffering and bad stuff going on?
because God gave earth to
Mankind to have dominion over bad things happen because man does bad things to each other
“The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's:
But
the earth hath he given to the children of men.”
Psalm 115:16 KJV
“And God said,
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:26
“And GOD saw that
the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it
repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
The
earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and,
behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah,
The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold,
I will destroy them with the earth.”
Genesis 6:5-6, 11-13 KJV
that’s why there is all the evil in the world because of mankind rejecting Gods word like this why did abel get killed ?
“And
the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that
Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.”
Genesis 4:6-8
Cain is to blame , mankind
airs a misconception that God controls what we do and fill the world with he created the earth and gave it to us and then we corrupted it and filled it with this
“Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For
all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but
he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
1 John 2:15-17 KJV
its because of mans wockedness and then being given dominion this means god isn’t going to force us to do good or evil instead he is telling us what will happen if we do good or evil like he did caiN
aid you do what’s right you’ll be accepted but if you do what’s wrong n will corrupt and rule over you , you have to overcome it by choosing the good “ but cain killed his little brother instead
God created the earth for mankind and gave us dominion and then told man what to do and they would be blessed and what not to do or they would be cursed and end in death
mankind shaped the world into what it is this is why it’s going to end in destruction and God made a new one reserved for his children
Even things like diseases and oeatelencr and war and death are curses in the earths resulting from mankind’s sin long ago we brought it all upon the world and Jesus came to save us from this
“The
earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore hath
the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
The
earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.”
Isaiah 24:5-6, 17, 20
bad things happen in this earth because mankind brought it upon ourselves by constantly rejecting Gods ways and word and guidance
Satan deceived them and they believed him and he led man to a curse in this earth when God gave man the earth ot was very good but we made it corrupt and violent and a curse this is why God has always called for mans repentance before it’s too late and this day comes
“but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 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. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
2 Peter 3:7, 9-10, 13 KJV
God isn’t puppet master but he gave us a choice and we chose wrong now man can choose Christ and be redeemed for his new and eternal creation ahead after this earth is destroyed for sin and judgement upon ungodliness because that’s what caused all the pin and sorrow for mankind , sin caused death and cursing d eventually will bring the end of this earth by fire
Ana’s things happen because we have rebelled continuously against the only true God as he was constantly pleading with man to repent and do right and be redeemed
