Hugo: Why does Jehovah allow suffering?

在東亞大陸八千萬死難者紀念碑前,被撒但洗過腦子的羊對螢火蟲說, “如果耶和華是‘A lover of justice’(Psalms 37:28),那麼他為啥會容許人間苦難的存在?”

螢火蟲提出了意見,“在某急流的海灘邊,豎立了一個‘危險!不可游泳’的大告示牌子,有一人無視於此牌子而去游泳,後來淹死了;他的父親站在牌子旁抱著兒子的屍體大喊,‘耶和華呀!你為啥不救我的兒子?’,這是誰的錯呢?”

“有一群野獸突然出現在某一個村子,村民被告知須加強防衛措施;有些村民完全不理會這警告,竟然開門迎接野獸,後來被野獸吃了,某受難者家人望著地上的屍骨大喊,‘耶和華呀!你為啥不救我的親人?’,這是誰的錯呢?”

“苦難來自於人的罪性(Original Sins),苦難來自於人的罪性(Original Sins)召來了撒但;苦難是撒但製造的,苦難並不是耶和華製造的!耶和華容忍苦難,那是因為耶和華給人‘Free will and freedom’(Human Self-respect, Self-dignity, Self-control, Self-government, Self- responsibility, Self-defense, Self-protection, Self-help, Self-directed morals, Self-enforced orientation and Human moral responsibility require free will),讓人能透過‘Free will and freedom’遠離罪(Sins)、邪惡(Evil spirits)與黑暗,讓人能透過‘Free will and freedom’歸向耶和華(Jehovah's Steadfast Love and Righteousness),你不了解嗎?”

“一個人不肯閱讀《Bible》,不肯聽從耶和華的話(Exodus 20:2–17),無視於耶和華的憤怒(Romans 1:18-32),也拒絕了耶和華的救助(如1922 年3月9日至1928年1月間的東亞大陸人非基督教運動),因此他遭受了撒但所給予的各種苦難(1 John5:19;Ecclesiastes 4:1;Ecclesiastes 8:9;Revelation 12:9),這能怨誰呢?”

“《Bible》說,‘Jehovah is my Shepherd. I shall lack nothing. In grassy pastures he makes me lie down; By well-watered resting-places he conducts me. My soul he refreshes. He leads me in the tracks of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk in the valley of deep shadow, I fear nothing bad, For you are with me; Your rod and your staff are the things that comfort me. You arrange before me a table in front of those showing hostility to me. With oil you have greased my head; My cup is well filled. Surely goodness and loving-kindness themselves will pursue me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of Jehovah to the length of days.’(Psalms 23:1-6),你可以透過苦難了解人的罪性(Original Sins)與撒但的工(Evil spirits and powers),你可以透過苦難了解義人與光明的路(Psalms 111:1-10; Proverbs 2:20-22; Proverbs 4:18),你可以透過苦難了解Jehovah's Steadfast Love and Righteousness (Psalms 109:21;Psalms 112:4),你可以透過苦難向耶和華懺悔(Matthew 4:17)與呼求救助(Psalms 119:81;Proverbs 2:5-15; Proverbs 3:5-7),不是嗎?”
