Ep. 5 - Does the existence of evil mean God can't be loving and all-powerful?


Listen Later

Victor walks parents and teens through one of the hardest questions Christians have to face. How can a loving, all-powerful God allow evil?


He discusses the argument that Christians can't have all three:

God is loving.

God is all-powerful.

Evil exists.


Finally, he lays out the problem — the inaccurate assumption — snuck into this argument, which successful counters it.


This is an important discussion for teenagers and parents to have — together.


Some pause point questions:

1. (4:49) Have you ever heard a good argument for the idea that you disagreed with and what did you do?

2. (6:04) Do you agree with those three statements? Do you think believing all three statements is contradictory?

3. (17:04) Why do you think people find this argument persuasive?

4. (17:56) What does it mean — and not mean — to say that God is all-powerful?

5. (22:24) Have you ever struggled when you think about how God could allow evil?
