QUESTION: Is God the cause of human suffering in certain classes of
society?
ANSWER: No! Clearly the Bible teaches that God is no respecter of persons
(Acts 10:34). However, we must also understand that God lovingly created man
with the ability to exercise his own free will (Genesis 2:16-17; John 7:17;
Revelation 22:17). It is evident as well, that God has continued to love man (John
3:16). Man suffers today because of unwise or sinful choices made in the past,
by either himself (I Peter 4:15) or others, including his ancestors (Exodus 34:7; I
Kings 21:29).
