the causes of human suffering

The world 🌎 often blames people for their suffering. Sometimes there’s truth to it sometimes not so much but in any case it’s how the world 🗺️ works.

Following Jesus Christ involves persecution and tribulation and trials. That’s in Scripture.
 
Every human being suffers because their bad fruits are under judgment and punishment.

Clearly you have never read Job, nor psalms and proverbs.

The bible is a realistic book, it reflects real life and in those books you would find that good people suffer for no apparent reason, that evil people prosper.

There is no obvious cause and effèt between being wealthy or healthy and how sinful one is.

Job's comforters made long speeches basically saying Job was suffering because of his evil deeds. Gods judgement on Job was that he was moral upright.


Why do people suffer? Basically because the world is broken, broken by sin and we are caught up in a broken world.
 
We do not suffer on this earth as punishment. We suffer because the Lord has given this world over to satan.

After Jesus was baptized He went to the wilderness and fasted for forty days. After this satan came to Him to tempt Him. The enemy, satan says," ill give You the whole world if You will worship me." At this point Jesus should have said " it's not yours to give." But, He does not.

The Lord tried to create a perfect society in heaven with the angles. They still rebelled. We are on this earth as a test to see if we qualify for earth 2.0. This is why we suffer on this earth. We must endure until the end.
