God does not permit suffering or let alone does not like it. Nowhere in scripture will I ever say that God likes to see his people perish. If anything, Ezekiel 33, 11 says that God does not take pleasure in punishing the wicked. Get that. He doesn't even take pleasure in punishing the wicked.

You know how many people here on this day see pleasure in wicked people getting tormented and killed and mocked and scorned? Like God doesn't even take pleasure in that because God has empathy for everybody who So we have to understand that the judgment of sin is released, not because that's God's actual desire, but it's because it's the designated response.

Like with sin comes judgment, but God's ultimate desire is mercy, but that only comes through repentance. If you want more backstory on that, you could definitely watch my episode, God Please Heal Me, where we talk about repentance, restoration, and God ultimately like healing our sufferings and et cetera.

And so I want to kind of capitalize and expand the idea of like, God uses suffering to draw us near, but God doesn't create suffering. Instead, he just uses it and allows it. And it's not because he wants to watch us suffer, but it's because that's just the condition of our worlds. And that's just the condition of what we're experiencing, right? And so when...

And a question that somebody asked me on this video when I was talking about suffering and et cetera, well, if God is so almighty and powerful, then why couldn't he have done it another way? Why couldn't have God made a species or made a way to where sin did come into the picture and we were able to choose? But like, why? Why couldn't he make a different system?

Why couldn't have God made a species or made a way to where sin did come into the picture and we were able to choose? But like, why? Why couldn't he make a different system?

And it's practically knowing that God couldn't have done it any other way, because if God did it any other way, it would have been contrary to his very nature and character. God allows suffering to happen. He doesn't create it, but he allows it to happen. because he allows freedom and choice, right?

So if God gives us the ability to choose, AKA choose good or evil, sin is able to be imparted in some way because it's the repercussions of evil and not choosing him. It's not something that's created by God and suffering isn't at the hand of God. Suffering is at the hand of evil and of disobedience and of sin and free will.

So it's like a mixture of all these things that all declare separation from God. And so, um, When I say that God couldn't have done it any other way because it would have been contrary to his very nature, the Bible says that God does not lie, according to Titus 2.1 or 1.2, that God is just, 2 Thessalonians 1.6, and that God is love. There's...

There's characteristics about God to where he couldn't have done it any other way because of the nature of who he is. And where does that come from? We don't know that because God is a spiritual and an internal being. We have very small, finite minds and God is an infinite creature.

So for us to even go down that rabbit hole, you're not going to find the answer to that because you don't know because you're not eternal beings. yet. We're eternally together with Christ whenever we pass away from this earth and inherit a new heaven, which is after this.
