Is God a sadist ? There is so much suffering in the world.

God not only said He loves you....He proved it, by dying on the cross, to pay for your sins. Does that sound like someone who hates you, or is out to get you? That they would go through such excruciating pain to save you from the condemnation sin put on you and us all? There's so much suffering in the world, because man is sinful.

There are two sides to man. Physical and spiritual. Neither must be ignored. When our spiritual side has been ignored, it leaves a "void" in our Spirit, which longs to fellowship with God, who made us. If not, our spirit feels empty, alone, unhappy and neglected, being separated from God, because of sin. Sin always keeps us separated from God, until we ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins, and He does, which allows God's Spirit to unite with our Spirit, to make us a whole new person and complete, joyful, peaceful, and filled with the Holy Spirit which transforms us and guides us.
