Suffering can also come as a result of .....
6. Doing the will of God. How many have laid down their lives and endured persecution and even torture because of their faith and unwillingness to compromise their stand for truth and godliness?! This kind of suffering can come from both the Godly and the ungodly.
7. Natural physical laws and forces beyond our control such as weather and disease, rise and fall of governments and economies.
8. We are not of the world but we're IN it and thereby subject to the forces that define it.
