Does God Allow Suffering In The World? We Need To Know.: Reading Paul, Peter and James

By Don Heckman

Does God Allow Suffering In The World? We Need To Know. This book shows our lives to be both at risk and clearly rescued from spiritual suffering that was identical to New Testament suffering endured by Christians following Christ's resurrection. No one in the New Testament asked why or if God allows suffering in the world. They rather expected persecution, hardships, and suffering. Paul, Peter, and James wrote verse after verse about resisting demonic powers. Their writings came after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The cross event was not just an event to bring salvation to human beings, but a defeat of Satan from being enthroned on the right hand of the Father in heaven. The cross event was the greatest form of cosmic exorcism ever known on this planet. Suffering in this world is part of the fall in the Garden of Eden. God is merciful and democratic enough to allow us to have free will. Even with Job as an example of Satan's attack with inconceivable suffering, God won a spiritual victory when Job never blamed God for the suffering that came from satanic attacks on his life, his family, and all his life. He was sent harmful and evil counselors who added to his suffering. However, he never blamed God for the suffering that came from Satan. We have discovered that certain worldviews that came from naturalism, evangelicalism, theism, and philosophy after St. Augustine that has denied the power of demonic involvement, though Paul, Peter, and James strongly warn us to wrestle against the powers of darkness which cause immense suffering. We have the unique joy of becoming coworkers with God to defeat darkness and the suffering that they impose. We look over the workings of God and the New Testament to understand the Spiritual Warfare Worldview that Jesus promoted as He announced the kingdom of God on the earth. Suffering may occur in many directions. We cannot stop the clock that brings aging and disease. The most heartening joy is that if we walk in tandem with Jesus and the writings of the New Testament, much of the demonic and dark elements that provoke suffering can be defeated. God gives free will to people and powers with a heart to protect us if we walk in spiritual attachment to the Lord and accomplish His will even in the dark domain.
