That is a false accusation...these things happen now because Satan still rules the earth...
And we are still imperfect...[ sickness etc.]
(Revelation 12:12) On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.”
Murder victims WILL be restored to life...
(Revelation 20:12, 13) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. The dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.
This is the resurrection...bacxk to a life on the earth...
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.

Is God to Blame for Our Suffering?
The Bible’s answer
The Bible emphatically answers no! Suffering was not part of Jehovah God’s purpose for mankind.
However, the first human couple rebelled against God’s rulership, choosing to set their own standards of good and bad. They turned away from God and suffered the consequences.
Today we are experiencing the effects of their bad choice. But in no way did God originate human suffering.
The Bible says: “When under trial, let no one say: ‘I am being tried by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.” (James 1:13)
Suffering can afflict anyone even those who are favored by God.

Because according to Christian beliefs, that person's body is just a shell for an eternal thing called a "soul". Therefore, what we consider "life" is of little concern to God.
