Why would God create a world with so much evil and suffering - then allow it all to happen?

Why does God allow all the evil and suffering? I would bet, if you created your own little world - you would have made it the exact same way. This video touches on the problem of evil; judgement; heaven and hell; the fall; who is Jesus; and much more.

Why would God create a world with so much evil and suffering and then allow it all to happen?

[mattcalix]

i struggled with self harm when i was 16, i had nothing left, i was depressed and suicidal but then when i was on my knees crying and looking up at my ceiling in my dark room i saw the brightest light flash from behind me for a millisecond. i now realize that it was God telling me that i’m not alone.

[RobotDude]

13:43 We love you too dude, in my opinion you make the most high quality Christian content on this entire website. Your videos are the perfect combination of engaging storytelling and seriously educational apologetics. You are the reason I and many others were brought to Christ by answering some of the deepest questions life has to offer and I'm so grateful for that.

“There was no strength because there was nothing to overcome; there was no victory because there were no battles; and there was no greatness because there was no adversity.” Let bro cook!!!🗣️🔥✝️

[azgunner]

What puzzles me minus all the unnecessary suffering of innocent people is that is you are a good, moral sound person you are considered “weak”. Being a liar and bad person seems to get you ahead in life more than being unselfish and helping others.

How many good people have been taken advantage of by evil people. It’s very discouraging for a good person in this world, but I won’t let it change my good nature.

[Worthless]

My coworker came up with this exact same scenario today! Now I’m going to show him this vid.🙏

[Postenebraslux-ny]

I love how there are three Engineers to mirror the Trinity
(Edit: Some people in the comments seem to think I am a tri-theist or something because the programmers are separate beings. That's not what I meant! It's symbolic. I know that the members of the Trinity are three persons of the same being. I am not a non
-trinitarian or something)

As a fiction writer, this resonates well with me. Creating worlds is something I often do, just with a pen and pad. Imagine how ineffective, boring, and stagnant storytelling would be if there were no issues, problems, or struggles within the stories that we write ourselves. The true beauty with art of writing could be attributed two, simply, great storytelling, but it also could be attributed to watching their protagonist overcome their challenges and becoming better overall

Edit: For all of you who are saying that this is different, obviously. Obviously, it is different. It is very different. But that is what analogies are. It takes two different things and draw similarities. To think that I didn't think of fictional characters not being able to feel pain and suffering is beyond me. You are currently talking to someone who is going through the biggest trial of his life of 25 years. No one in the Christian realm, or at least they shouldn't be, are saying that God wants to remove all suffering. Of course, He helps us through the trials and suffering we go through, but it is very evident that He will still allow you to go through trials, even despite being a Christian. No one saying he is utilitarian or a hedonist. In fact, Inspiring Philosophy did a great video on why suffering exists that I think all of you should check out. It is very evident that suffering exists to build character. In a perfect life, with no suffering, there is no character building. There is no virtue

[Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom]

This was so good you guys! Thank you for taking the time to put together the Christian story in a way that is fresh and relevant and that I might cause people to pause and think, who would otherwise not! And the part at around 11 minutes in really got to me! Thank you Jesus for entering our world & doing what none of us could! You are the Way!

The longer you live and the older you get the more you realize that boring is good.

[MinhNguyen-szjy]

1. Boring is a weak excuse for creating a world with suffering. A triomni God don't need anything and can't be bored.
2. If heaven is without suffering, is heaven boring?
3. Jesus teach his message for a small group of people in a specific moment in history. All other human have to receive his message from other human, while it had to compete with other message from other religions. It is a stupid way of communicating.
4. If I can choose between a perfect and boring world and this imperfect world, I will 100% choose the perfect world. Isn't that world the same as heaven?

[CubicCrusader]

IMBeggar thank you so much for kickstarting the reason why I love to talk about love so much‼️‼️😭

[Veltior]

Whenever somebody says "why doesn't God prevent all the evil and death in this world?", I immediately have to think that He already did. Jesus sacrificed Himself and it brought eternal life, healing, and His teachings are striving towards perfect morals and love towards each other.
People just don't want to take it 🤷‍♂

[TheJabberwokk]

I wouldn't have done it at all.

The only winning move is not to play and regardless of who, what, or why the bots will never be engineers.

[mithunbalaji]

Why bother to create a world in the first place? I would rather not create a world at all if i were to play god
Also, i would rather be a programmed bot ( given, no mental or any other form suffering due to your own nature ) than even the tiniest possibility of 'freely' choosing hell over god

[asdfjklo]

i have always struggeled with the question of the christian theodicy and never gotten an answer could understand. i never thought of turning the question around. so thank you, you might have changed my life today

[giren]

I would like to point out that the paradise world is literally what many people think heaven is like.Also the engineers are responsible for everything since they made the program and everything in it and set up the parameters that it would function under.

[BeccaYoley]

All of this talk about life being too boring without being able to sin is making me think that God wanted Adam and Eve to eat the apple, which makes a lot more sense now as to why God put it there.

[LarsJuniorB]

Your videos about suffering helpd me out more than you can imagine. For the past 10 months every since my sister and grandma were murderd nearly every day i havent had the will to live and just want to die. Your videos helps me out more than you could imagine. Thank you bro and thanks be to God. This world is hopeless without christ and honestly its gotten to the point that i dont have hope for anything in this world except that Jesus will raise us from the dead

[Drstrings]

So if nobody, including the engineers or an all knowing, perfect, loving, etc. God for that matter, has the ability to create "Perfect World", then how does heaven work exactly?

[sayntfuu]

I was not there when the foundations were laid down, I have not commanded the morning every day since. I am just grateful to be here.
