WHY does God allow us to go through pain??
You may have heard this before and then again, maybe you haven't.
I for one believe this is one of the BEST explanations/ answers to the question....
WHY does God allow us to go through pain?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkept. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
BE BLESSED & BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS !!!!!!! Let them know there IS a true and living God!

I am OK,,he is nothing but a tool from the devil he stated when he came in his actual words was let the show begin,,that alone displays confusion,h it all comes together now,,he was the one getting beat ip as a child as well as being chased home from school,this is why he took a job with the police, wich I really don't care, I am not and never will be scared of the police,,he make people from NY look bad,,I will visit him on his job and still deal with him,,but he will run and press charges or scream like a woman,,he initiated the conflick when he said let the show begin!! He knew my temperment..but 10,000 seen him run to the police,when I was living the street life never got police invovled,I handle mine,,Just don't make Negros like they use too!! I still may catch a plane up there just to each him wet his pants!! Man,,all I wanted to do was see him face to face!!!I am finished

You are a joke and a hater and 10,000 people see you for who you are,,But it is OK,,I never said that I was proud of my past..and I never said I will meet you at 3:pm,,you never gave me a meeting place nor address,,and I never visited those web sites,,I do have a site that I study from ,,but if that is what got you on your period ,,then we all are guilty of mimicking Gods word,,and you don't always say the tors says this or that,but we already know where it came from!! Your a hater man. Face your fears,,and the love of God is not in you just flesh ,,and you want everyone to follow your teachings,,Negro you could not direct me to the bathroom with the sign on the door,,if you really wanted to see me you would have told me where I have no problem flying to NY,,I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU,, Maybe you can help me with my ignorance as you say

I just gotten in from church and WOW
I did not take credit for NOTHING if you would read I said let the Heavens rejoice first
I did have my own notes ,,I got it the old fashion way,,I studied and went through it first hand,,I dont believe,,well then I do believe that you would make an attemtped to scandalized my name and teachings..I said let GOD get the Glory,,that is not good enough for you,,seems to me that your a HATER ,you feel that God cant get ANY GLORY UNLESS you GIVE IT TO HIM OR TEACH IT YOURSELF,,where I come from it is called flesh
when have I been to prison for the Gospel? when have any placed a gun towards my head?..I have been to prison and I was the one putting the GUN to peoples head,,,but it was there where I found true relationship with God,,and not my own ideology,,,but through it all I stayed with the creator,,,I am still awaiting why did you place Psalms 51 by your name ??do you know what or why David cried out before the Lord for forgiveness??since you taylored that scripture to your name..did you cheat on your wife and leave her for a another?? you were blessed with a BEAUTIFUL woman to be by your side did you elect a HAGAR over her???I know that you did not have anyone killed with your weak self..you could not have survived where I been your a P.E.O.M. Poor,Excuse,Of, a Man..you get on site talking down at Christians and Believers,,Nobody knows nothing but you,,GOD Forbid..I see this is something personal that you have with me,,,so how you want to do this?? lets just get it over with right now,,

Moreh what is your goal what are your trying to prove by saying we all are wrong about our sufferings is it that you want us to repent and receive the mindset you have about things in order for you to feel you are right. AS you told me in all thy getting get an understanding do you not feel you miss the mark on some of the things you have expressed.
You can easily point out what you believe is wrong in what we all said but you can't seem to see it when we disagree with what you said. I am not here to argue the word with you but what I do know is my sufferings has been great and i count some of them for the sake of Yahweh I have suffered much reject by others because of Yahweh and what I do know is someone who has the spirit of Yahweh in them.
In saying all this what have you accomplished is Yahweh still getting the glory in the end have what you said helped anyone reading this blog will the next person who read this feel encouraged by you if not then your not doing what Yahweh has taught us to do. We all are here because we say we are his children living to do his will and win souls to him. Like I said before I appreciate you and may the father continue to help us all as we continue to grow in doing his will for none of us has yet to arrive to that true place in Yahweh.

IT IS HARD FOR THE WORLD TO USE THE NAME JESUS YES I AM CHIRST-LIKE OR CHIRSTIAN AND WE DO INCOURAGE EACH OTHER AS HE JESUS TOLD US WE LISTEN TO CHIRST ALONE . IN ORDER FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT JESUS CHIRST AS YOU SAVIOR THE YOU WANT LOOK AT ONE TRIAL AS GREATER AS ANOTHER. PAUL , JOB , MARK ,LUKE,AND MYSELF ALL HAD OR HAVE DIFF TRAIL TO GO THRU BUT ALL FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.YOUR PIAN IS NO GREATER THEN NO ONES ELSE IF YOU TRY JESUS YOU WILL UNTERSTAND AND RECIVE THE HOLY SPRITE YOU HAVE HELP IF YOU USE HIM TAKE THAT TO THE AIR . JUDGE NOT FOR WE ALL HAVE A CROSS TO CARRY.BUT JESUS IS THE WAY STAY INCOURAGE ERIC

My Brother, Why do you find a need to prove yourself right. Do you need validation or our you doubting yourself ? God reveals truth not man.
