Katika kutafuta Mungu na kutaka kuelewa kwa kuanza kuweka logic hizo tatu kuhusu Mungu, na kisha kufikia maamuzi kwa kufuata logic ya kuwa Mungu hayupo ni contradiction kwa sababu hatumelewi Mungu kwa kufuata logic. Logic haitoshi kumuelewa Mungu au akili ya binadamu haitoshi kumuelewa Mungu kwa ukamilifu wake. Mungu ametambulishwa kwetu kwa njia mbalimbali sio logic pekee, hivyo kutumia logic peke yake huwezi kumwelewa Mungu kwa ukamilifu wake hata hivyo akili ya binadamu haitoshi kumweka Mungu wote kwenye ubongo wako.
Asante kwa kutowekea problem of evil lakini wasomaji wa biblia wanasema haya kuhusu mateso na chanzo chake.
- Deuteronomy 30 and Hebrews 12 open the possibilities that suffering may be punishment, natural consequences, or God's loving discipline.
- Genesis 4:1-8 and the first murder suggests much suffering is the result of certain people's choices.
- Genesis 45 says God's redemptive power is stronger than suffering and can be used to further good purposes.
- Luke 22:31-34 says resist the fear and despair that accompany suffering, instead remember/believe God has the power to help.
- Job 40 says God is not like humans but wants a relationship with all of them, which requires some surrender to God and acceptance of suffering.
- Romans 8:18-30 sets present temporary suffering within the context of God's eternal purposes.
- Hebrews 12:1-6 sets suffering within the concept of "soul-making" as do 2 Peter 1:5-8, James 1, and others.
- Exodus 17:1-7 and the whole book of Job characterize suffering as testing and speak of God's right to test human loyalty.
- 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 says human weakness during suffering reveals God's strength and that it is part of the believer's calling to embrace suffering in solidarity with Christ.
- 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 says God is the comforter and that people learn how to better comfort others when they have personal experience of suffering.
- The great hymn in Philippians 2, along with Colossians 1:24, combine to claim Christ redeems suffering itself. Believers are invited to share in that by emulating his good thoughts, words and deeds. All New Testament teachings on suffering are all grounded in and circle back to the fall of mankind and the possible redemptive power to individuals of the cross.[108]:160,161
