Why does God subject mankind to tests?

Answer 1

Please allow me poetic license to answer...

“I walked a mile with Pleasure, she chattered all the way; But left me none the wiser, for all she had to say.

"I walked a mile with Sorrow, and ne'er a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her, when Sorrow walked with me!”

we learn more through the trials than in the good times!  If we could learn without the test then He wouldn't test us

Answer 2

we were sent to this earth to be tested. depending on how we do on this earth will decide what Kingdom we go to after this life.

Answer 6

Answer 8

       Not without a purpose does God send trial to His children. He never leads them otherwise than they would choose to be led if they could see the end from the beginning, and discern the glory of the purpose which they are fulfilling as workers together with Him. He subjects them to discipline to humble them, to lead them, through trial and affliction, to see their weakness and draw near to Him. Christians are Christ's jewels. They are to shine brightly for Him, shedding forth the light of His loveliness. Their luster depends on the polishing they receive. They may choose to be polished or to remain unpolished. But everyone who is pronounced worthy of a place in the Lord's temple must submit to the polishing process. Without the polishing that the Lord gives, they can reflect no more light than a common pebble. Christ says to man, You are mine. I have bought you. You are now only a rough stone; but if you will place yourself in My hands, I will polish you, and the luster with which you shall shine will bring honor to My name. No man shall pluck you out of My hand. I will make you My peculiar treasure. On My coronation day, you will be a jewel in My crown of rejoicing. The Divine Worker spends little time on worthless material. Only the precious jewels does He polish after the similitude of a palace, cutting away all rough edges. This process is severe and trying; it hurts human pride. Christ cuts deep into the experience that man in his self-sufficiency has regarded as complete and takes away self-uplifting from the character. He cuts away the surplus surface, and putting the stone to the polishing wheel, presses it close, that all roughness may be worn away. Then, holding the jewel up to the light, the Master sees in it a reflection of Himself, and He pronounces it worthy of a place in His casket. Blessed be the experience, however severe, that gives new value to the stone.  

Answer 9

He doesnt exist.

PS - why would God want us to mature only to put us in h**l? You have some f*&ked up ideas, the dude who posted above.  

Answer 10

Why not?

"Ignis avrvm probat. Miseria fortes viros"  

"Fire tests gold, misery [tests] strong men." Seneca

God love you!

Answer 11

To refine them like gold in the fire.  The c**p rises to the top and gets removed, if handled properly.

Answer 12

If God did not put us through tests then everything would be just great.  No diseases, no hunger, no cold, no hot, etc.  Everything just  perfect... right?  

That sound like heaven and we lost that as the result of Adam and Eve's original sin.

Remember though, God will not ever test you beyond what you can endure.  Also, don't let an un educated person like Mamie or anyone else tell you there is no God. All you have to do is look at the beauty of his creation, including you, and you will know there is a God.

Hope this helps you.
