#87 The Problem of Evil: An Answer from Christian Philosophy

Listen Later

The Problem of Evil has been a longstanding objection to the Christian faith. It questions how a good, all-powerful, and all-knowing God can coexist with the presence of evil. This video addresses this challenging issue from a biblical perspective, exploring logical and emotional arguments and providing a comprehensive response rooted in Scripture.

Key Points Discussed:

  • God is God: Understanding God's sovereignty, wisdom, and the human condition.
  • God Works Good Out of Evil: How God uses even evil for His good purposes.
  • God Gives Peace in the Tension: The role of the Holy Spirit in comforting believers amidst evil.

    • Why You Might Still Struggle:

    • Desire for Independence: Our natural rebellion against God.
    • Limited Vantage Point: Our inability to see God's plan fully.
    • Past Experiences: The emotional weight of personal suffering.

      • Conclusion:
      The Problem of Evil, rather than disproving God, actually presupposes His existence. The Christian worldview not only explains the presence of evil but offers a solution through Jesus Christ.
