What does one have to do with the other? I was responding to your comment that "(God) would never allow that which he loves most to suffer unless they chose to suffer". I then provided several examples where people suffer terribly without choosing to do so. This shows your contention to be false. Unless you can explain this anamoly.
Sorry to unleash on you like that, I thought you were just using human suffering as a way to deny God. I can't stand that...
But in response to my statement: People suffering in the body is not the same as choosing to suffer in the soul.
If you are offered Jesus Christ and deny him, it's not your body that will suffer, it's your soul. Every soul is in a condition to choose, whether the body is healthy or not. Therefore God does not want anyone to suffer, but he gives you the power to decide where you soul will go, either with him or away from him.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
