Why does God allow Suffering?

I am going to summarize what is linked below.

Basically Satan questioned God's right to rule mankind. Since then many men have questioned God's right to rule mankind. Man tries to rule themselves, and look at the results. We have a multitude of corruption, hypocrisy, and evil, all from our leaders no less! With time, this evil world will end up destroying itself, which is what God will step in to stop, after finally proving that Mankind is incapable of ruling itself.

Matthew 24:21,22 "21 for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short."

Read paragraphs 11-18 from the following link.

Any questions I will be happy to answer, knowing full well that this is the internet :)

Also for answers to other questions take a look at these:

I never understood the argument, "if there was a God he would do x, y, z. If God was good and omnipotent, he wouldn't let x, y, z happen"

If there's a deity that is omnipotent he can do whatever he wants and isn't obligated to to subject himself to human morals of what's "good" and what's "bad".

Lol

If instead humans were maggots subjected to eating rotting crap and dead flesh for all our lives and die, then so be it.


Contradict more with what the bible say

i think it's funny that people reference the bible as if it were a reputable source, when in reality it's worse than wikipedia.
