I can imagine some things we see today which could be examples of believers who are being 'tried' because of their sin. Sexually transmitted diseases? These 'trials' can can easily cause a wayward believer to realize their error and turn back to God!

Oops! Should be: I, too, can IMAGINE all sorts of crazy things ...

That's just the problem: they don't do that. Any "trial" you'd care to cite doesn't undeniably come from god in retribution for some specific action; they turn up out of the blue, often at random, and it's not as if they have a label on them along the lines of "This is for eating meat last friday. Signed God".
Brother Randy, heres one for the record. Check this out. If I ever find you I am going to strap you to a chair and cut a hole in your stomach. Then I will rip your pants off. Then I will sever your penis from your body with a blunt knife. Then, after I am done smacking you with your bloody dick, I am going to make you chew it up and swallow it. Then I am going to reach into your stomach cavity, which I conveniently opened up already, and repeat the process... Again... And again... And again... Untill you either die from stomach blood loss (which is THE slowest way you can possibly die)Or I can no longer find pieces of your penis to feed you because you have chewed them apart 10 times over. Only then will you have paid for what you've done. Sleep tight buddy.
You tell yourself that when you're lying on a hospital bed with cancer ripping through your lyphatic system. Blame yourself, after all you're nothing more than filthy rags in the eyes of the Almighty. Blame yourself for all the ties you touched yourself while thinking of Brother Randy's soft caress of your shoulder. His hot breath on your ear. His
So if you were dying of cancer after a lifetime of being an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist and doing everything you thought God wanted you to do, would you blame yourself for not living up to God's standards, decide everything you've been taught in the Baptist religion is baloney and change your beliefs? If not, why would you think a "wayward believer" (i.e., someone who has different beliefs than you) would suddenly "realize their error" and adopt your beliefs?
That's right kids; god is obsessed with our genitals! Why do you think online porn has increased so much in the past few years? In fact, whenever someone comes to your house, you should check them for STD's. I mean, you don't want them using your bathroom and giving you Sin. Then you'll have to try hard to get back in god's favour, even though you don't think you've done anything wrong. God knows better! He KNOWS you are vile!
It's funny, how do you explain a faithful woman who caught AIDS because of her philander husband?, or a child who got it from its parents?, or a person who caught it from a wrong transfusion?
"These 'trials' can can easily cause a wayward believer to realize their error and turn back to God!”
And why would they? The almighty god is supposed to be omnibenevolent. Such a person could not possibly USE suffering in order to achieve their goals.
Confused?
