Oh? That's a "Protestant" belief? Pray tell, show us the doctrinal statement of whatever church advocates that.
What she announced to the Protestant was that there was in fact Redemption in their suffering.
Merely her opinion unless you can show us from Scripture that suffering is redemptive.
Unbelievable! Do you honestly believe that there is no redemption in the suffering of a person who may be experiencing the agony of cancer?
How SAD!
Unbelievable! Let me take your heart of stone and turn it into “My Heart”, “A heart of Flesh.”
Probably a misinterpretation of the following passage:
Rom 8:21-27 AV
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from
the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the
children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth
in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the
firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption
of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not
hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience
wait for it.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we
know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit
itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind
of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
