Divine Judgment & Hell – Ep. 154 – What About Evil? – Working For The Greater Good – Part 3

Divine Judgment & Hell
Looking at one of the last main theodicies, we look at the topics of divine judgment & Hell. After laying out the argument from the divine-judgment defense we see that while this argument does have some merit to it, it is not an all-encompassing view of evil.
With two interesting problems, it doesn’t seem to deal with the very first evil of the Fall and it doesn’t seem to link evil that is not a direct result of sin. We also see that it doesn’t seem to tie in God’s love and goodness which needs to be in the picture to have a full theodicy picture. Finally, we cover the topic of evil affecting “innocent” people where it seems also appropriate to cover the topic of Hell, damnation, and the fairness of judgment.
While this isn’t a full coverage on the topic of Hell, the need to introduce the topic is done and further reading is offered.
