Suffering From God
Some suffering is caused by the judgment of God. The Bible gives us many examples of those whom God judged for their rebellion against Him.
The Egyptian Pharaoh refused to let the Israelite people go free from slavery. The nation of Egypt suffered ten terrible plagues from God.
The people of Israel refused to enter the promised land and they all died in the wilderness. Their children inherited the land.
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of their homosexual practices. In the New Testament, Ananias and Sapphira died because they lied to the Apostles.
God does punish those who go too far in their sin. However, God always warns before He punishes. When a person is suffering God's judgment, they will know it. Direct punishment from God is a rare thing. We should be careful before we say that God is the direct cause of any suffering.
