God didnt create sufferings. God created heavens & the earth plus all the inhabitants. It's satan & human collaborators who create so much suffering on planet earth & in heaven & hell.Originally posted by davidche:So ppl ask why did God create sufferings??

Exodus 3:7 (Whole Chapter)
The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.
= mercy
Numbers 14:33 (Whole Chapter)
Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the desert.
=justice
Sufferings is brought by God(clearly mentioned) It can be for some reasons.To manifest his mercy or to manifest his righteousness and justice.

In this case it is suffering and non-suffering.
As mentioned above. non suffering is the oppsite of suffering(happiness?? isnt accurate enuf) -
so this guy says to the wizrd. I want my life to be full of happiness!! However, bare in mind that there has to be anger for happiness to exist or else there wld be no happiness.
Is this called relativity??not sure. -
ok. i have nothing to ask liao -
it is doubtful that you have proven any of your intelligence by the looks of your replies... a mocker and name caller is certainly not intelligent. All you have shown is your lack of upbringing and character.Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:If there is no idiot like davidche, will there be intelligent ppl like me? -
Things are not always as they seem.

If there is no suffering, wld there be non-suffering?
Tat is stupid. If there is no suffering, it is non-suffering. It is not "would there be non-suffering", it simply lead us to the state we want to go, tat is non-suffering. no suffering=non-suffering. As such, it is still cruel to have suffering in tis world tat lead us from non-sufferingmy statement wld only work if there is only two 'substance' in the realm
Obviously your assumption is wrong. Even the words u used already show tat non-suffering is the absence of suffering -
revise my posts and you shall understand.
-
Revised, read again and I don't see why my post has not answered your thread. Care to elaborate ?
-
sure, as long as it makes you understand(i hope
)
1st part
non-suffering is the opp of suffering.
So under the circumstance that there r only suffering and nonsuffering...
we know that if there is no suffering, there wldnt be non-suffering
2nd part
Ok,...from your upper posts i can see that you dont understand this principal.
If there no sad or anger wld there be happiness??
Happiness wld be merely a normalty.
get it?? get it??
Vince or mc, or moon....can help me explain?? -

non suffering is the absence of suffering. The words themselves already suggest tis idea. NON mean no, do not possess the attribute etc . Non-suffering means no suffering, do not possess the attribute of suffering. Based on wat reasoning and evidence can u say tat suffering and non-suffering r opposite ends ?2nd part
U need to convince me tat non-suffering r extreme end. Things can go like negative or positive, or like heat, absence of a substance. If u wanna claim tat suffering is like negative and positive, u have to show it, othewise it simply look like heat, and non-suffering is the absence of suffering.
