Why do the innocent suffer? Why do children suffer? Why does an innocent baby suffer? The first question to ask is, are these children innocent? This may appear to be a ridiculous and cruel question. But sometimes don’t these innocent babies become bad adults? Could God be judging their future potential? Or these children have lived before in a previous life, and are suffering the consequences of their previous sins.
Causality and reincarnation explains why there is suffering and joy in this world. It also distinguishes what causes these events. We see hatred, greed, and selfishness; but we are oblivious to what they lead to. We know the effects of pollution on our bodies, but we do not know what evil in our minds lead to.
If God is compassionate and loving, causality and reincarnation must exist. We reap what we sow. If causality and reincarnation does not exist, either God does not exist or God does not care. I elect to believe that God does care for his children. By reincarnation and causality, God has given us the ability to purify our minds; thus leading to a joyous life.
“I elect to believe that God does care for his children. By reincarnation and causality, God has given us the ability to purify our minds; thus leading to a joyous life.”
These same questions have been asked from an unbelieving world since the beginning.
Reincarnation is as cruel a process as evolution. God is not part of both of these theories that have no evidence. Even mans sufferings are evidence of Gods existence. Besides you don’t have to reincarnate as a human. Plus, no one has been able to purify their minds on their own even if they had several lifetimes. Jesus had a pure mind and what did they do to Jesus? They hated Him, plotted to kill Him, and ultimately did kill Jesus.
If God has given us the ability to purify our minds; thus leading to a joyous life through reincarnation as you say, why has that never happened throughout human history? Mankind keeps getting worse!
The norm of God is to allow human suffering so perhaps He can save some. Those who God has saved take joy in His salvation knowing He did not have to save anyone. They can tell the unsaved from the saved with their vain philosophies as they explain away the God as He reveals Himself in the Bible.
They are not spiritual and can’t receive things of the spirit. God is a Spirit and only those God He has given His Holy Spirit can discern God for He is spiritually discerned. If you reject the Bible you reject God and exalt the vain philosophies of man over Gods.
