Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

If God is good and merciful, then why does He allow us to experience needs and sufferings? 
If God allows us to experience needs and sufferings, it is only because such sufferings are good for the souls 
that have chosen to leave their heavenly home (paradise), in order to “taste” the forbidden fruit of 
experiencing life within bodies made out of flesh and blood. 
Why is that so? Simply because such sufferings and limitations are a powerful reminder of “the saving truth”.
What saving truth? That we must always be meek and humble, as we aren’t the infinite, immortal, and 
omnipotent God, but rather His finite, weak and mortal creatures. 
You see, when a man acquires too much power, too much beauty, too much intelligence, too much health, 
and too much wealth, that man starts to view himself as being powerful enough to no longer have any need 
of God, nor any Divinely ordained moral code [besides the one he conveniently chooses to create]. Thus, this
proud man will start behaving as if he were a god. The problem being that, as with any false deity, he will act
in an evil [and arbitrary] fashion-- enslaving and oppressing anyone who refuses to submit to his self-
exalting schemes. 
In fact, Scripture goes on to warn Israel against this “prosperity-induced” moral corruption, when it goes on 
to say: 
«Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God… Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly
houses, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is 
multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy 
God… And thou say in thine heart, “My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth”. But 
thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth… And it shall be, if 
thou do at all forget the Lord thy God… I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish”»- 
Deuteronomy 8:11-19.
