There is a specific branch of theology that attempts to understand the concept of “innocent suffering and a loving God. ” It’s called “Theodicy.” which is ,in other words Theodicy is trying to find the answer to the question of “How a loving God Who is All knowing and All powerful can and does allow so many horrendously evil, vile cruel and murderous events to occur and does nothing to stop it ,even though He could because He has the power to. stop those horrific happenings ”
That is a very good question. Speaking only for myself ,after years of reading the “answers” to this disturbing question provided by many different Christian scholars , taking all what seems be the best replies to this subject on a number line of ranging from 0 to 10. The answers given rates up to number 2 and no further to how satisfying and comforting answers to this topic are.
That elderly Jewish scholar provided no answer that I hadn’t head of or read before.

If one reads the Book of Job and the Proverb that says, “Be wise my son and make my heart rejoice that I may make a reply to him that is taunting me.”
The devil challenged God, making the claim to Eve that God was withholding good things from her and from Adam and that if she disobeyed, she would “be like God” knowing for herself what is “good and bad.” satan is still causing people of earth to believe that fallacy.
When Job was a “righteous man,” in all of his dealings, satan challenged God with the claim that if only God took His protection “a fence around Job,” away and allowed satan to hurt Job, the man would curse God; he claimed that Job only served God for the things he received and the protection he received and if God seemed to be abandoning Job, the man would stop being “righteous.”
So, God, having “set a day in which He will judge the earth,” is allowing those who wish to show their love for Him and exercise faith in Him the opportunity to do so, just as Job did so many thousands of years ago.
One thing to remember: God can undo all of the terrible things that He has allowed to happen. And when He does that, the pain and hurt will not be remembered, “neither will they come up into the mind.”

Sorry , but the reply to the posed by the paradox disturbing questing of: “Innocent suffering and a loving God” given by this Jewish scholar of “Just accept it” is not an answer.
That word “Just” is to large and terrible be an acceptable answer.

God led Adam and Eve to sin by making a devil. We are all sinners. There are no innocent people. When Jesus the lamb of God died on the cross, He said, “It is finished.” He paid for all our sins with His blood.
God allows suffering because it strengthens our character. Even if suffering leads to death, God says the next world is so incredibly wonderful, that nothing we experience in today’s world will be worth remembering. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:4).

I have to disagree with your first sentence. God didn’t lead Adam and Eve to sin, nor did He make a devil.
God created angels….perfect spirit creatures who would be His messengers and carry out His will.
When God made Adam and Eve, He warned them not to eat of the certain tree. All they had to do was be obedient. There were plenty of other trees from which they could freely eat. God did not lead the two to sin against Him.
The one angel made himself satan the devil by rebelling against God and when he slandered God by claiming that God was not being honest with Adam and Eve. “You positively will not die,” was a lie, and said in direct contrast to what God had told Adam, “If you eat of the tree, you positively will die.”
I agree with the remainder of your comment about why Jesus came and to the things God has promised for our future.
