Problem of suffering

I want to suggest that the problem of suffering is solved by saying that the suffering is worth it.

Granted not everyone can cope but our willingness to endure demonstrates that love is greater than suffering.

God's love is demonstrated despite the suffering.

What do you think?

And now we do know about evil!

So you're saying that before she tasted the apple, she couldn't know better than to taste it?

You dont need to know what a bad apple tastes like to know you are eating a good apple.

You're thinking of the tree of knowledge of what apples taste like. This was the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

They ate from it and got that knowledge. Thats what i said earlier. We are all learning about evil now.

What I am suggesting is that they knew good already. Eating from that tree really only meant learning about evil.
