Why Did God Allow Evil? A Biblical Answer to the Problem of Evil Prepared to Answer Podcast

    • Christianity

Scott and Shawn tackle the question of why God allowed evil from three important angles. First, what’s a good ‘elevator’ response when someone confronts you with such a challenge but really aren’t giving you the time for a fully developed response? Second, what’s a quick response that’s often given that you should probably avoid? And third, what is the best biblical response to this question that, while maybe not resolving the tension, leaves the questioner to consider the truth about God’s ultimate purpose and destiny for his creation.

📖 Resources mentioned in this episode:
“Why Did God Allow the Fall?”, James N Anderson“If God is Sovereign, Why is His World Full of Suffering?”, John Piper“Confronting the Problem of Evil”, Joe Rigney⭐  Get access to “So Much More Than Sex” — a video-based Bible Study Series for young adults that is focused on rediscovering God’s eternal purpose for human sexuality.
