Die on the Cross
God understands suffering as Jesus is part of him so he felt the pain of death.
The argument of free will, the problem of suffering is caused by our free will, given to us by our loving father
The problem with this is natural evil. Not all evil is caused by us, or happens to those of us who have had a chance to do evil.
The argument of the devil
The problem is is that if god is all knowing he wouldn’t have created the devil
The argument of the big test
The problem is if he is all knowing he wouldn’t have to give us a test to see if we are worthy, he would just know. Also some people suffer more than others.
Garden of Eden.
The garden god created at the beginning of time for Adam and Eve
The fruit of knowledge
Was in the Garden of Eden and was on the tree in the middle. God told them not to eat from that tree but eve did and that caused original sin. It is commonly thought that the fruit is an apple, and that the serpent that tempted eve was an incarnation of Satan.

Caused by eve eating the fruit of knowledge, original sin is the greed all humans bear.
