Dear All: On this subject I came across the discussion on TV as I would summarize the topic:" Why we are not free from suffering, if there is God". It was said that God certainly has the power to eliminate all the suffering, dying, hatred etc.However, if this would be done, by the power of God, we would not be PEOPLE. I understand that this would make us infallible, supernatural, like midgets. Many believe that God loves us and through the death of his only son, we have opportunity for salvation. This is definitely a controversial topic as we are all being challenged, for instance to cope with Parkinson and other diseases and to see other people dying from starvation, etc. To be on this list, our suffering is lessened. Respectfully, Emily, PD caregiver ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Thome" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, March 31, 2002 4:35 PM Subject: HE loves us? > Jo Ann Coen, > > Why does an omnipotent God allow tens of thousands of men, women and children starving to death in parched lands, simply let them waste away and die when all that is needed is rain?"
