[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]God does not bring you misery, so he most certainly is not going to give you 'just enough' of it [/b][u]
I hate that saying.
I think it is most often a perversion (for lack of a better word ) of 2 Corinthians 12:9 
9 " But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

I agree. [b]There us a misguided belief thatGod somehow caused or allowed people's suffering. God does not cause anyone's suffering. [/b][/quote]Every time I have suffered, it was either something I did or another human being did it to me.  That's called free will.  People will jump back and say ' but why did God let little Mary die in the car accident hit by a drunk driver'?  I don't profess to know God's reasoning for allowing it but I do know that if we live in this world, we will be exposed to the nefarious free will of others.

Free will, on both sides of the coin, comes with a price.  It's either all or nothing.  Sorry, didn't mean to get off the subject.[/quote]
