Why Does God Allow Death & Suffering?


Listen Later

One of the most-asked questions by both Christians and non-Christians alike is: ‘If God is a god of love, why is there so much death and suffering in the world?’

The Bible actually provides a clear explanation for how the world came to be in this state. God didn’t make it this way—we did! In fact, God has gone to extraordinary lengths to rescue us from the very painful mess we have gotten ourselves into. In the process, He experienced the worst of suffering and death—and in fact conquered them ‘from the inside’ so to speak. Christians need have no fear of suffering and death!

Why, then, do so many Christians still struggle with this question?

Find out why evolutionary thinking is at the heart of the problem, in this helpful discussion with author, speaker, and researcher, Gary Bates.
