God allows suffering to enter human lives because it is a consequence of the free will that He has given to humans. By allowing suffering, God respects and upholds the freedom and free will of individuals.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because according to most religious beliefs, God is considered to be all-powerful and all-knowing, and therefore does not need to become a human to understand or alleviate human suffering. Additionally, different religious traditions have different beliefs about the nature of God and the purpose of human suffering, so it is not accurate to make a blanket statement that God became a human to take away our suffering.

    Explanation
    Christ did not choose to suffer because of sin. According to Christian beliefs, Jesus willingly chose to suffer and die on the cross as an act of love and sacrifice for humanity's sins. He took on the burden of sin to offer redemption and salvation to all. His suffering was not a consequence of sin but a deliberate choice to bring about forgiveness and reconciliation.
