People in The know, know that G^d is good and merciful, and that everything that seems painful is a chance for us to show that we want to be merciful too, to become a partner with Him.

To say “god is wicked and so we can be wicked” – is not just a chutzpah – it is being wicked.

God was not unkind to the blind man. God didn’t blind the man. The man was born into a sinful world, ruled by the god of this world, Lucifer himself! Satan came to “steal, kill and destroy”. God came to “give life, and that more abundantly”. The Muslim doesn’t understand that God’s heart is filled with compassion for the suffering of that blind man. It is not God’s will for people to be blind (physically or spiritually). It is a result of the ungodly world we live in. One day soon, Messiah will return and bring everything in this world under subjection to God and restore it to it’s original condition, prior to sin entering God’s Garden. Then there will be no blindness, no sickness, no disease, no death, and we will all go to Jerusalem to worship God in His Holy Temple!
