The Problem of Evil

[c.g.ryderii]

God has created me and I was an evil man. God changed my heart and showed me grace through Jesus and His Holy Spirit. When people question why God allows evil, they have not looked at their own evil in comparison to a Holy God. If God didn't allow evil, no one would exist. As we all have fallen short. He takes that evil and uses it for good. From the foundation of the world, makes it all the more awesome!Much love Jesus Christ is King

It’s free will. We chose darkness rather than light

John 3:19

He loves us enough to let us CHOOSE. 😊

A Great explanation of God.
Thank so Much Bishop, God Bless...🙏

God Bless You Bishop Barron!! This is the Greatest interpretation of Evil, that I've ever heard! You simply are the best!❤

I don't quite buy it.

How would you account for animal suffering. They don't get some grand reveal of the masterplan that apparently needs children to die of diarrhea to express its beauty.

How do you explain meaningless animal suffering? Youre gonna have to assume every animal gets their own heaven to be compensated for their troubles in life, or god wouldnt be all-good since if he allowed meaningless suffering.

Firstly, that seems a bit silly, secondly, that puts a slight wrench in the works to a human centric view on christianity.

Ask Mother Mary of Medjugorie, she says Pray little children for the hearts of men to turn back to Gods love. Now.

This just ridiculous spin completely baseless, a wonderful journey into fantasy. How has this organisation got away with spewing out such ridiculous waffle

[Pro-jq]

THIS IS A GREAT "MAYBE"
Maybe it will look later like it makes sense.
Well maybe its just a world that evolved in evolution and things are not "good" or "bad" but just want to survive.

[lisathomas]

Indeed! 😊. Thank you for the logical explanation.

[rodriguezelfeliz]

Also, what about heaven? If heaven is perfectly beautiful, shouldn't it also have evil (by your logic). If that's the case, I don't want to go there lol

Satan is the God of this World which is fallen with sickness, disease and poverty and many other problems. We need to believe Jesus Christ for our salvation. Believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins was buried and rose again the 3rd day by which we are saved, 1 Corinthians 15 1-4kjv.

Your message has no answer. You're complicating the answer. The reason theirs evil in this world is called sin thanks to Adam and Eve. We as humans gave conceived sin . The devil uses demons to temp you. If you fall into temptation, it's due to a lack of understanding of the holy word of God. People fall into temptation for lack of resistance due to lack of prayer and not obeying the lords holy word. We live in a fallen world. Humans fall short of God's glory. Repent of your sins.

Ah what a great argument, we just have to believe that the reason everything is so dreadful and there is so much pain and suffering in the world is because without it we can't appreciate the good stuff. To go a bit further though, we can't comprehend all that is before us because we are just a tiny bit of the whole, but it's ok, as it will all make sense once we're dead! Shit a brick, you couldn't make this crap up! Oh, hang on, he just did!

There is far more darkness and cold than light and heat. There is no light in a Human.

[nicolamustard]

A great explanation of the necessity to 'be as a little child' and trust in God. We don't know how his painting, his story, looks in all its infinite beauty. But we know that God works all things for good, and one blessed day, we will know. We can trust that, if we give our will to Him, "Jesus, do with me as you Will for my good and that of all people, " He will show us the path that leads directly to Him. It might not be a smooth and easy path, but we know that it will always lead us Home. ❤

God created Evil — Isaiah 45 : 7 KJV
7. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Father your words make so much sense.. what is left to understand will come later with The Lord✝️🙏🏻🌹

[dannmurray]

Evil is the lack of acknowledgement of God in this world....the more we turn away from Him the more we witness the opposite of who He is and what He offers. Not as punishment but as reality.

this is worth listening to over and over again
