Why does God let bad things happen? (The problem of evil).

Why does god allow suffering and pain? Why does God allow evil, war (wwIII anxiety) natural disasters and all the bad things? Why doesn't God intervene? A "How to" get through the problem of evil with a look from the book of Job, to Jesus, to the Brothers Karamazov.

I lost my wife after last week, we just got married in December 2022, she had high blood pressure and had complications when giving birth, leaving me with our first son, I want to keep fighting for him but I am feeling so defeated, we prayed and prayed for God to save her but she still passed, keep us in your prayers 🙏

Your videos have changed my life. Thank you for letting God speak through you. Please don’t stop.

I cannot blame someone for giving up on faith when something insanely terrible happens to them and their life, despite doing nothing to deserve it.

My sister died 3 days ago. She was 28 year old. The possibility of not going well rhe surgery on her heart was 5%. All churches was praying even though i knew God has decided to take her. Be the name of God blessed. God gives God takes. Amen.

Hey dude. I've been struggling with my faith. Family is extremely Catholic, with no argument allowed whatsoever, and obviously the society we surround ourselves with today is mostly Atheist, with facts and logic backing up their beleifs, while I was taught, "Its just God, can't question it."
Your art is helping me figure out the WHY. Why I should beleive, why we feel the way we do about our beleifs, and it's helped me be more confident in myself and my beliefs. I appreciate you and the work you do. ✌️

I'm an atheist but this is by far the best advice that is applicable to anyone. No matter how cruel our life is, we have to hold firm in our values and strive for ourselves and those whom we hold dear. no need to curse god or fate or even ourselves, try our fullest.
thank you so much for this video 😊

I once saw a video that said “Why did you take her, I know there is a lesson to be learned but she was special.”(referring to the death of a loved one) and God replied “My son was special. But he died for a cause.”

"May God give me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference", can pretty much solve 99% of people's problems.

This helped. I lost my wife to cancer two weeks ago from this past Tuesday. I'm going through all of those emotions, asking why, getting angry, being loaded with grief, getting distant, coming back again, all in a jumbled cycle. I have to keep reminding myself that Jesus came not to fix this world, but to allow us into enter a totally new existence where pain, suffering, sorry, all the evil is no more, for eternity, from this very short, temporary vapor of a life. I have to keep reminding myself that my wife is experiencing the glory and it's just a matter of a short time before I am with her in glory.
*"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us."* _-- Romans 8:18_

Great job. I'm under a heavy spiritual attack at the moment, and your videos bring me comfort. God feels far away, but he's there like the sun is there behind dark clouds. You know how it is. Bad things tend to happen in bunches.
My mom's cat got eaten by a coyote. Business has slowed. A friend has betrayed me, and I got scammed by a vanity press to the tune of $5, 700. (The novel I'm trying to publish is about how I got sober and found God. The devil wants to stop it at all cost.)
I was feeling low. Re-watching this video has snapped me back from depression. Thanks.

I lost my grandfather today and remembered to come to this video, thank you

We can’t control the terrible things that happen in this world but we can chose how to respond to it

My mother was complaining about headaches on Saturday and we took her to the Hospital immediately, fast forward to Monday she cant remember stuff and finds it hard to speak, i wept, as tough as i thought i was i couldnt stop myself from weeping, funny enough i found your video on "Talkin with God and not to Him" i think, on sunday and addded it to my watch later and watched it on monday at night while bawling my eyes out, i tried praying for the first time in a while and ive been praying ever since, watching this current video peace just flowed into my heart, shes getting better now, may God bless you sir

[Kxsiddiii]

This made me cry so much and I rarely cry, I never really realized how good it felt to have someone there with me

Why does God allow bad things to happen? Because it’s a perfect opportunity for God’s love to be demonstrated and proves that Him and His love will always be more powerful than any kind of evil.

The idea that Christ suffers with us, mourns for us, is brokenhearted when we are broken hearted. That has helped me through very hard times. It doesn't make the sadness go away, but it does remind us of our importance to God. That he cares. And even more than just caring, he feels what we feel. He stops to our level to weep alongside us. And he reassures us that in the end he will be victorious, and none of this suffering will be for naught.

I have to say I find myself coming back to this video from time to time. This topic was the reason that despite growing up in a Catholic family, I never had faith myself.

I always wondered why some people, despite disaster and suffering, had a strength and light inside them that was unwavering. I wished I could be someone like this. Seeing God working through people moved me in such a way that I am now Christian. I am thankful for my beginnings because I needed to find the faith myself, on my own.

Today I come back to this video after everything going on in this world. I see the suffering and pain of innocent people and I know God is keeping them close. We do not understand evil and cannot but we can understand mercy, compassion and love for your neighbor.

II Timothy 1:7

God gave man free will. Most of the problems that we blame god for we have brought on ourselves.

I’m an orthodox Christian but this helped me a lot, this message was very powerful and I can really understand now, I can feel like I’m getting closer to God
