No pain, no gain.
Suffering and pain are the consequences for orginal sin. I'm not sure what you are suggesting when you say they "are not God."
"They are part of the fallen earth and designed to turn us towards God," is performative contradiction. Adam was already connected and towards God before he sinned.
So, what's your question?
Pain is optional for learning.
What do you mean when you say suffering and pain are not God?
Do you not suffer?
Why did Christ (who was God incarnate) Suffer?
Many Christians have a more intimate relationship with suffering and pain than God Himself. So they end up idolizing pain and suffering instead of centering their lives in God.
Centering myself in God reduces pain and suffering to zero.
To reconnect us to the Father, and so that humanity would no longer need to suffer or experience pain of any kind according to the will of the Father, while enabling His children to bring Heaven to Earth.
I don't know any Christians like that. But I'm not saying they don't exist.
So Christ lacked connection with God?
Ugh. If you don't know why Jesus came, died, and rose again, now would be a good time to learn why.
Our glorified bodies come later. There are many versus about suffering. We can have peace in our suffering. Is that what you're referring to?
The will of God in bringing Heaven on Earth is now.
