You are implying God CAUSES suffering, like       cancer children, deformed births, poverty, etc, etc. You don't know       the Bible God very well.              If you want to know the real reason why God permits suffering, see my       latest posting.              "AWAKE!       Coping With Rising Prices?—Manage Your Funds Wisely       Consider five money-saving tips that can help you manage your       finances.       Learn More".       See jw.org (12/13/2025)       James: zebrabible@proton.me              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
