That’s a phrase that I heard recently, and I think that it’s from some famous philosopher, but uhm…
I don’t know how to debunk it.
I’m doing my best to believe without thinking too much about that.
Some days it gets hard tho, so I’d like to hear you guys’ take on it.
God’s goal is not our perfect comfort, but our transformation. To say that ‘God should stop evil from happening’ neglects the entire truth of the Old Testament and Gospel.
To become the beings He knows us to be come, we MUST struggle, because it is ONLY in struggle that we learn if we are compassionate or selfish, brave or cowardly.
Struggle exists because we lacked faith, not because God enjoys seeing us suffer.
A universe without struggle is a universe without growth, and that is not what He envisioned.
So we struggle, and are mortal, and earn our bread by the sweat of our brow.
