Does God enjoy human suffering and misery in the sinners in the hands of an angry God?

Answer 1

This question is basically the concept of theodicy. Theodicy is the attempt to answer the question of why a good God permits the manifestation of evil. In classical Western religion, God is omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient, which makes the terrible things that happen on earth very confusing if you believe this. How can God be omnibenevolent and allow genocide and natural disasters? Many people have tried to answer this question, and people have even had to redefine God's powers to explain the evils of the world. The most common answer to this question is that God has a plan, and the things we percieve as evil will eventually make sense.

Additional Comments:

I appreciate the clarity and concise and logic of this answer! May I add that the thought that God enjoy human suffering is contrary to everything else we know (the little that we know) about God's creation. No right mind human being would enjoy seeing other people suffer. How could God be any less? But that still leave us with the big question why God allows so much suffering. The answer is much simpler that most people realize. Just ask these two simple questions. What happen to humanity in the presence of great suffering? And what happen to humanity in the presence of peace and abundance? We all know the answers. Humanity becomes more like God in the presence of suffering and on the contrary humanity becomes depraved in the presence of abundance. Only and only through suffering can humanity appreciate the depth of God's love and become more like Him.
