Quick question for you: "does the Indian seminary have a similar problem of priests abusing children as the rest of the world?"

I’m Ryan from Albuquerque New Mexico USA. My incredible father who was good friends with “Amma” the hugging saint died three months ago. When Amma came to NM and she saw my dad she would say “Chris, Chris, Chris” with her beautiful smile and innocent voice! My father was a truly incredible man! The “Gita”(as it is version) has helped me immensely in my life and spiritual journey. God bless Richard from India. Jai Guru Dev 🙏

Because god doesn’t exist why is it little kids getting the r word done to them and those sick people not do any real time in jail. Why is it poverty when there’s billionaires who has enough money to feed a country for a year and still have money. God is made up look at the Vatican the holy of holy worth money then any thing. Why can’t they solve world hunger world homelessness heck create decent paying jobs so people can actually get their lives together god doesn’t seem to exist

He’s 49

Linda Galvez whaaaaaat?!? Oh my gosh! That’s awesome!

Linda Galvez WHAT? Really ? Same age as me yet he looks 10 years younger !

that is genuinely unbelievable

He doesn't look older than me.

This video doesn't explain suffering, it explains evil. How do you explain suffering? Why does God not eliminate tsunamis, earthquakes, diseases, volcanos, cancer, floods, animal attacks, bizarre accidents, tornados and other things that have nothing to do with free will and are not man-made? If God is all-powerful, there is no rule above him that says he can't do it and if he's all-good, he would wanted to eliminate unnecessary suffering.

I can't imagine for myself, and I respect you highly for saying that. These religious folk disgust me with the way the brush off suffering saying its okay and its for a "greater good".

EXACTLY. Pain DENIES us choice. I need to radically accept God's will? Unless I want to be evil of course, then I can choose away!

It was the free will of the people who abused you, not your free will.

May God have mercy on your family and you in Jesus mighty and precious name Amen🙏🏽❤️✝️

“Jesus wept…” this is my favorite verse in the Bible. Through Jesus the Son, God suffers with us and is grieved by evil. Jesus learned obedience and received glory by going through suffering and so it is with us as His followers. Before Jesus uttered his final words “It is finished” (i.e. no more suffering and disorder), he also exclaimed in anguish, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” Assuredly, as God the Father had not forsaken God the Son (though it felt that way in the moment in the flesh), God has not forsaken you even when it feels/looks like He has. Our suffering yet glorified Lord is with you, in you, and for you. Whoever suffers much loves much…

@SvenGD Yes, He very well could do this, and yes, He is all good. But I disagree with the claim that what God is doing is not what an all-good being would do. That’s because I don’t think anyone should assume they know exactly what would be “all good”, because no one is all good, all powerful, and all knowing themself. We can try our best to make the world a better place, of course, but to exclaim for sure that the entire story of humanity, past, present, and future, would be “better” if no “bad things” existed? We are so small that we don’t even know for sure what the terms mean in the very long term. We only see a tiny glimpse of God’s entire plan. We may never know the net outcome.

@SvenGD I think it has to do with the “make” part - maybe there is something better about humans being able to choose between good and evil, than just everyone being happy (which would imply everyone always does the right thing). Maybe the absence of choice would actually be a negative side effect - sort of like a sin of omission. And you’re also assuming that happiness is the highest good - even if it is, there’s so much more and deeper in life than just one emotion

@SvenGD that's the point of the video. We would be robots. Indeed, I don't think we could be truly happy. We wouldn't be able to love. And love brings the authentic happiness... This brings us to an important point. I perceive this in you, as I've had the same questions you are making. I had trouble with reality and with my own humanity (still battling). The point is that we are well done. That the desires we have (desire for love, justice, good, freedom, beauty...) are no stupid at all. And that reality is a friend, not an enemy. This is what Jesus teaches us and challenges us to! That life is possitive, with all its joy and its suffering. That it's worth it.

@SvenGD Sadness and pain definitely aren’t. But what ultimately comes out of them, as well as the overcoming of them, may be better than not having them at all. You have to realize there is a long, long future for God to work with. You also have to explain what you mean by necessary. Necessary for what? Again, we don’t know the ultimate plan, so how could we know what is necessary to achieve this plan in the best way? People say religion gives life meaning because it gives you an ultimate goal to continually strive towards - in Christianity, that is to know God, love God, and serve God, and in the process, participate in His all-good plan. I don’t see how this makes everything pointless.

Where is the logic in comparing Superman and God. Superman does what he think it's best, but he's limited in power and knowledge. God supposedly isn't limited, yet he cn't do better than Superman? If evil exists because of free will, then either there is evil in Heaven or there is no free will in Heaven. Is it a just decision to respect free will of stronger person and not the weak one (to explain, if rapist's free will wants to rape and victim's free will doesn't want to be raped, free will of stronger person will prevail)?

@@goranmilic442 It's a perfect analogy: both Superman and god were created by the human mind. Both are not real. See?

@@TboneWTF Yes.

Not to long ago my best friend, who has gotten back into the church told me that the abuses and suffering I went through actually got him back into praying and the church. It's not much of a consolation but I can appreciate that something I did or experienced is making someone else happy. It's definitely not fair and I know that I would not be the kind of person I am if it weren't for those experiences. I'm sure you're a wonderful person who is loved by many and your survival and strength may be an inspiration for others. That doesn't make it any easier. As long as you always remember that it wasn't your fault and you did nothing to deserve any of your suffering. Perhaps you can use your experience to guide others and that helping someone else may give you a sense of purpose and value. I don't totally believe that you need to experience sadness to appreciate happiness. I don't have to be hit by a car to know it's going to be unpleasant or that I'd rather not be hit by a car.

Im sorry for the suffering and Trauma you went through. I've been through that too. Have you healed from it yet or do you still Suffer from it? You should constantly pray and ask God to take away your pain and heal you to the point you can forgive others. Those people who do bad things to us do not have Jesus in their lives. Praying for yourself and others is gift and power that God gave us.

Yeah, God can turn the most heinous evil to good, and that's amazing!

Through what his wizardry magic

Very deep indeed... Amazing. I'm speechless.

Too bad God can't figure out how to save people or bring about good without needing heinous evil to happen first.

@@scotte4765 He doesn't. These people [{including this priest } either are misinformed, ignorant of the Bible or lying. In the case of the priest, probably all three. " For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does He himself try anyone ",James1:13

"Why is there suffering?" The problem of evil, the question of evil is answered only once you know WHY you are experiencing this WORLD OF LIMITATION- the most esoteric secret in this entire Universe! And this question has finally been comprehensively answered by The Source of ALL. It makes perfect sense. And I have published this information in several different formats. Click and ye shall find. Elijah has returned, as prophesied. (I communicate only through my sites.)

@@tomrhodes1629 could you sit in a room watching a man rape and murder a small child and say to yourself "well I don't want to restrict that mans freedom" ?

It's a good question. It's possible to go through life not ever having to suffer much more then toothache. Most people see their children grow but some see them dying. I don't think it's ever possible to answer those questions in any meaningful theoretical ways. I can only say that I've met people who suffered enormously and yet they were, I can't explain how, much more happier then me. Now, I am not talking about that cheerful happiness of lucky go around, I am not even talking about a constant stream of positive emotions. I am talking about that deep, deep sense of peace and empathy they were radiating, I am talking about their sense of purpose and how they actively made the world a better place. There are, however, those who became bitter, cynical, a ruin - even if they were active believers. So, it's not suffering alone that makes it or breaks it but, it seems to me, it's not religion by itself either.

Me neither. God is not fair.

@@goranmilic442 I would say no free will in heaven.

@@theflightcampaign Which would mean there is no need for free will on Earth.

I so agree with you.

my dad passed away 4 months ago. He had a heart attack in front of me. I know God exists based upon supernatural experiences but it is HARD man. It was so sudden and felt very personal. At the same time, I know Jesus Christ is hope, whether that be that you are able to be with her again someday, just as me with my dad (I am only 25 and my brother is 22), or whether that be that God will walk with you closer if you allow him to regardless of the outcome. I know Jesus is hope though. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.” Remember that there is a plan.

But everybody does, eventually die, and we are all subjected to laws of physics and biology. I am sure Jesus himself would've much more preferred if his message was accepted instead of dying on that cross in shame and humiliation. He wasn't a passive victim though, his actions, his choices lead there. He could've backed out easily, he didn't. Therefore, life is in a way - chose your pain game. Pain will come, this way or another, it's still better if it's paired with a value. Now, that leaves one gaping question - what about those who cannot chose, who came into this world only to experience suffering, pain, hunger, sickness? I don't really think there is an honest and intellectually satisfying answer to that. There are options, however. One is a belief that this really isn't the whole story and that, if the story didn't end with the cross, it doesn't end with suffering. However, even if one doesn't believe this, there is another option that should oblige everyone - whatever we believe, there should be a sense of obligation in those who have it better towards those who have it worse. Unfortunately, much suffering in this world comes from not wanting to "carry your own cross" so they are just tossed on the backs of others. In other words, there is hunger in this world not because poor can't get enough but because rich are never full.

@@stephenson19861 this man is evil. could you sit in a room watching a man rape and murder a small child and say to yourself "well I don't want to restrict that mans freedom" ?

Now now there’s no place for logic and reason with these religious nuts

God gave us a free will - the ability to make choices on our own. God created us to love him, but he loves us as well. Without freedom we cannot love. If someone tells you to love them, but brings a knife to your throat, can you truly love them? Love is free. So God gave us a free will so that we could choose to love him. But obviously there has to be an alternative, since its a choice. Love or hate (hate can also be looked at as rejection or ignorance). If God came down every time we faced adversity, sadness, depression, hunger, pain etc. and he just fixes it for us, then we would be forced to believe in and "love" God. There would no way you could possibly say that God is not real or that he isn't active. And therefore you couldn't deny him and hate him, you could only love him, and then it wouldn't be love at all.

@@Mooskellunge but in the Bible god says ask and you shall receive... so what you say isn't consistent with the Bible. And kids starving to death doesn't give them much chance to believe in God if they're dead...

@@santiagoblandon3022 God says "ask and you shall receive" so why when I decide I want a Lamborghini in my driveway within the next 20 minutes, and I ask God to make it so, It does not happen? Maybe what we want is not within God's plan? Maybe part of this plan is suffering, maybe it involves innocent people dying? Jesus Christ was innocent, he was still crucified though, right? Who crucified Jesus? People crucified him. He created humans so he knows what is best for them in the end, right? This earth will come to pass, so we cannot rely on it for happiness, comfort, fulfillment, and answers. We so often cannot see the good in evil, because we so often chose it ourselves.

@@Mooskellunge that's my point. So it is god's will for us to suffer. Even innocent children who haven't even had the chance to decide for a belief. Many don't even have the chance to learn how to speak and they die in terrible suffering, and it is god's will... Why? What's the point of children suffering. I don't get it. Why would a merciful god send his son to the slaughter? "To cleanse our sins" but if god is all-powerful why does he have to send his son to the slaughter to forget our sins? In the old testament god in multiple occasions mass murder people... Is that god's will? That we can sin so he can punish us? If we have free will then why the punishment? And why does an all-merciful god punishes us? Sorry if i am insulting or anything like that. It's just that i don't get it. I don't understand.

@American Clippers I think your forgetting what the reward is.... Eternity exchanged for the blink of an eye.... We all feel this deep pain and the darkness can obscure the light at times.. But remember that we are on a pilgrimage and Our Lady of Lourdes said " there is no happiness in this life only in the next" and Paul said No Mind has fathomed what the Lord has prepared for those that Love him.... Hang in there friend.. The Dawn is coming and an end is in sight otherwise Jesus would not have told Saint Faustina to prepare.. Besides what do we know about suffering really? surely we are taking our eye of the prize and placing it on our selves.. satan is a sneaky one..be careful of him because this can turn to blaming God ... that's what got Adam thrown out.. He told God he eat the fruit because it was Him that gave him the Woman so it was really his fault the first Blasphemy.. I will say a Prayer for your Spirit to be lifted God Bless.

So sorry for losing your G-mom after much suffering and now Gods church over one priest that assumed you understood a deep and wide mystery

@@joselandin4494How can an old lady in a coma be like Christ suffering and dying for others? My grandmother was also not Job. Please explain this mystery.

Loosing your Faith when it is needed most erases the point of having it in the first place, but is very real for a lot of people, including you. What the priest meant is that by the sin of the first 2 humans that God placed on earth, Adam and Eve, the rest of humanity that follows after carries with them something called Original Sin. Its the reason that we are bound to the punishment of our first parents because of how serious the sin was. These punishments include death, pain, labor, etc anything that we might consider "bad". When we are born, we have OG sin, and it can only be erased with Baptism. But the scar is still there, and we still endure the hardships as punishment. We Do deserve it though, because whether or not we are Baptized, we still commit personal sins (Personal sin, as opposed to Original. The ones we commit by our owns thought or actions). But God did not leave us astray. He had a backup plan in the form of Jesus Christ, and his Passion, Death, and Resurrection to beat death and sin, and open the gates of heaven as they were before Original Sin. He now allows those who die, like your grandmother, the ability to go to Heaven if they proved they were worthy of it by remaining steadfast in Faith and God's Law's on Earth. As for "being like Christ" We will certainly never be scourged and have to carry one hundred pounds of wood up a 5 mile hill and then be nailed to it by our hands and feet and then die for someone who already rejected you. Christ is not only God, so he didn't have to do it like that at all, but as a 100% human he choose to go through exactly that, something so painful and horrible for just for our salvation. Compared to this we go through very small things, but so often we still manage to loose faith and curse or reject God. All we can do on this Earth is accept the suffering God sends our way (Always things we can manage if we have faith in Him) and offer it up back to Christ, who suffered the worst of all so that we didn't have to pay the full price of our sin. In the bigger picture, the suffering we go through is really only arduous and impassible if we let it ruin our relationship with God.

joshuat5140 I'm glad to know you're sober and hope you continue to have a healthy, drug-free life. But "you can't have good without bad" is nonsense. You don't need drugs or disease in the world for everyone to be healthy. You need them to NOT exist. That's the whole point. That's what health is, and the same goes for other kinds of good like security, happiness, and so on.

@scotte4765 it's not nonsense. I see what your point and opinion is. But I wasn't trying to necessarily say that you got to have both. But they both exist and is used as a measurement. Bad health is what helps one determine one with good health. They compliment each other. So we do need bad to have a measurement of what's good. They can exist without each other. But then neither holds any weight at that point. Maybe I'm not making sense? Because of the way I'm trying to explain my opinion? I'm not the best at trying to explain certain things. But my opinion makes sense.

@@joshuat5140 Thanks for your response. I think I understand what you're trying to say, and I'd still say that it's untrue both the way you originally phrased it and the way you're trying to put across. You're trying to say, I think, that we need to experience the bad in order to have the full measure or understanding of how good the good really is. Correct? If that captures your point correctly, I'd still say, who cares, why do we need that? The point of health is to BE healthy, not to have a sharp awareness of how unhealthy we might have been. The point of safety and security is to BE safe and secure, not to be worried or even grateful about how unsafe and insecure we once were or could have been. My health, safety, happiness, etc., still hold their full "weight" even if I'm unaware of all the ways they might have been otherwise. I will say that there is one strong reason we would want that awareness of evil and suffering, and that is for all the cases where we still have some significant risk of experiencing them, so we can take steps to prevent them. But that's a purely practical kind of knowledge that is only valuable up until the moment we eliminate any particular evil. Smallpox was eliminated from the planet in the 1970s. Is anyone born since then worse off in any way for being totally ignorant of what it is like to have that disease? No. Good and evil don't complement each other. They aren't yin and yang. Whatever we decide good consists of, that's the only thing we want or need, by definition. And if there were a God with the ability to eliminate all kinds of evil and suffering, then in doing so it would make any potential knowledge or lessons we might gain from suffering completely redundant, and that would be a good thing. We only benefit from those lessons because no god is doing that.
