Good God? Faith and Reason in the Face of Suffering
The King James Bible (KJV) acknowledges the reality of suffering while offering comfort and a perspective on faith and reason in the face of hardship. Here’s how the Bible addresses this complex issue:
Acknowledging Suffering:
- The Bible doesn’t shy away from portraying suffering. The book of Job recounts an innocent man’s immense trials, and the Psalms express cries of lament and anguish (e.g., Psalm 88).
God’s Sovereignty and Goodness:
- Despite suffering, the Bible maintains God’s sovereignty and goodness. Passages like Romans 8:28 assure believers: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” This verse emphasizes God’s ultimate control and purpose, even in suffering.
Mystery of Suffering:
- The Bible acknowledges the mystery of suffering. There aren’t always clear explanations for why bad things happen to good people (Deuteronomy 29:29).
Faith Over Reason:
- The Bible emphasizes faith as a source of comfort during suffering. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Trusting in God’s unseen plan can provide solace even when reason fails to grasp the situation.
Examples of Faith in Suffering:
- The Bible showcases characters who remained faithful despite hardship. Daniel in the lion’s den (Daniel 6) and the three Hebrew men in the fiery furnace (Daniel 3) exemplify unwavering faith in the face of suffering.
Finding Meaning in Suffering:
- The Bible suggests that suffering can have a refining effect (1 Peter 1:6-7). It can test faith, build perseverance, and ultimately lead to spiritual growth.
Hope for the Future:
- The Bible offers hope for a future free from suffering (Revelation 21:4). This promise can provide comfort in the present.
Important Points:
- The Bible doesn’t claim suffering is easy, but offers a framework for understanding it within the context of faith.
- The verses above provide comfort and hope, but may not answer every question about suffering.
- Some people find solace in the beauty and order of creation as evidence of God’s goodness (Psalm 19:1).
If you’re struggling with suffering:
- The Bible encourages prayer and pouring out your heart to God (Psalm 62:8).
- Reaching out to a faith community or spiritual leader for support can be helpful.
As You seek understanding and clarity in your life you should always turn to your Heavenly Father for Guidance.

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?
I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.
When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.
We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.
Women are looking for a fathers love
Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave thoses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.
Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.
Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)
In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.
Spiritual Order – In The Family and Church
God the father
Jesus Christ
Father (Men over women)
Mother (Women over children)
Here is Book, Chapter and Verse from the Kings James Version 1 Corinthian 11:2-16, But the main messsage is in 1 Corinthian 11:3: “3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.
All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.
After Reading The Passage I would Recommend Doing A Silent Prayer
Its is said: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)
Jesus is an example of a Fathers love
