God is always consistent.

From the earliest days of His undertaking to care for those who acknowledge Him there have been difficulties, as it would seem to a non-believer requiring action by one's own efforts to meet the challenge. The Bible does not teach that. Of course there are people who don't believe The Bible or who lie about what's recorded there but that doesn't change what God has promised or whether those promises are real.

His Chosen People challenged by despair leaving Egypt with insufficient water:
EXODUS 15
3
The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
18 The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
22-23 So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
25-26 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Those are very strong words. Healing is not something God just does. Healing is a part of God's nature. The Bible is very straightforward here; through obedience a twofold promise is activated. On the one hand a very specific suite of diseases is promised to be withheld..those afflicting the Egyptians..and on the other hand a promise still current that ALL sickness will be taken away. Not only sicknesses having known remedies but all the incurable ones too. It's a part of His nature.

God promises to take away ALL sickness and prevent evil disease:
DEUTERONOMY 7
9
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

Matthew explains that there were forty-two generations from Abraham to Jesus, a period of twenty-one hundred years. The link goes to a timeline for reference. That allows 50 years per generation. Clearly the promise concerning health remains current, differing starkly from secular ideals which offer no such guarantees. Paul knew what God's promise was and what happens when people start making up stuff for themselves. Relaxed secular standards do not agree with anything originating in The Bible and can deliver neither health nor Salvation. No-one likes being reprimanded (as Paul well knew) but regardless of personal feelings, there is an alternative to death.

It's never too late to turn away from the plague of death:
II Corinthians 7
9a
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance:
9b for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

So many people think they have a better assurance of improving conditions by relying on false teachings instead of following the only path throughout history to help understand the world we live in and how to apply ourselves so that others may also learn about answers to pain and suffering. It's not compulsory to read and understand The Bible but without that knowledge our attempts to address the sorrow of the world are made so much harder in places where it's most needed, where false promises have failed so often.
