God's supposed attributes contradicts our beliefs

Blessed is the one who acknowledges our Creator and His wonders, and who confesses that He is not to be questioned about what He does. Mirzah Husayn Ali

This material world is not an end unto itself, but is here to serve its Creator’s higher purposes.
Our Sacred Teacher rebuked His foremost disciple for “thinking as men do.”
YHWH’s creation is perfect. If there is suffering and injustice that is because such is what mankind needs.

We are also promised that God and Mary loves us, and will look after us and protect us from all evils. That is an outright lie.
How about those who suffer persecution for no apparent reason like the poor Russians mentioned above??
They certainly let those poor Russians down. They and their children died a terrible death screaming for help from a deaf God and a deaf Mary.

It is terrible to hear of such sufferings on the part of our brothers and sisters (or, indeed, of anyone). And it is wrenching when it seems that God has not heard the pleas of people in such extremity.

But did you actually believe, before learning about such incidents, that God intervenes on behalf of everyone who suffers? That would mean that there would be no unjust suffering or death, and we know that’s not true even looking at the world today, before we even get to studying the horrors of history.

The question of why the innocent suffer in a world with a good God is one that we have wrestled with for a long time – it is at the center of the book of Job, which some say is the oldest part of the Bible. It’s a tough question, to be sure, but the Church has never denied it or lied about it. We openly celebrate those who suffered and died for their faith in God. We obviously do not believe that He preserved them all from physical harm.

Funny. It was Church history that helped bring me back to the faith.

You look for blessings in this life. Jesus directed us to less worldly understandings of his kingdom. Do you think the Christian martyrs of the first few centuries AD saw persecution, torture, and martyrdom for their Christian faith and refusal to worship thr pagan gods as the absence of God’s love? Far from it. The blood of the martyrs was considered the seed of the Christian faith. Rather than convince people Christianity was false, it converted thousands incredibly quickly. From the earliest days Christians looked forward to spiritual and heavenly blessings, not worldly ones. And they accepted worldly persection and suffering.

Christianity has many facts and it is established on background from Jesus. First Christians suffered much because of their beliefs. But the doctrines emerged later!!! They are not sourced from Bible and Jesus. And doctrines appeal sentiments and in excess because of excessive love. They seem not contradict with faith but there are many falses as logical. And non one achived to solve that problem.
