• Theodicy: Physical Evil

  
  — Authority:
  Why does an omnibenevolent, omnipotent God allow evil such latitude in our age? That God will judge such in a time to come, and cause it to cease thereafter forever is an answer, but it seems a marginal one at best to those living through this age. And to be honest, eternal judgment in the Lake of Fire for the evil ...

• What Did He Do To Deserve This? (John 9:2-3)

  
  — Authority:
  In John 9, why was the man born blind? That the works of God might be made manifest in him. In passing, the Gospel of John records that Jesus crosses paths with a “man blind from birth” (John 9:1). The unnamed man is evidently familiar to Jesus and his disciples as they are aware that his sightlessness is ...

• They Always Blame the Christians

  
  — Authority:
  The corrupt leaders of ancient Rome wagged the finger of blame at Christians, making them convenient scapegoats for society’s ills, ranging from run-away taxation to crop-failure. Because Christians have a built-in mechanism to admit their imperfections, they didn’t defend themselves very well. This, in turn, made ...

• Theodicy: Freewill, Concurrence & Moral Sufficiency

  
  — Authority:
  There could be no evil whatsoever apart from the capacity of something in creation to oppose God. That opposition would have to be something initiated independently of God; that is, it could not be decreed or impelled by God. Something nominally opposed to God but actually decreed by him could only have the ...

• If a Good God Exists: Presuppositional Apologetics and the problem of evil

  
  — Authority:
  It is clear that all things are ordered according to the perfect will of the Lord. If the Lord’s reasons for some state of affairs are inscrutable, does that mean that they are unjust? (Augustine, City of God Book V, Chapter 2). The problem of evil is the most pervasive argument used against Christianity. It ...

• Theodicy: The Origin of Evil

  
  — Authority:
  Supposedly, Christianity has a problem explaining the existence of evil in the world given the existence of God, who is good. I dont see the problem at all, so let me do my best to explain why. Primarily, I think the bulk of the problem arises from not understanding what good and evil are. So, let me start there. ...

• Theodicy

  
  — Authority:
  I’m going to attempt another “Christian theology in 500-or-fewer words” post, and discuss “The Problem of Evil.” In 500 words. Well, we can cover the basics, at least. The question is this: “If there is a God, and He is good, then why is there evil in the world? Why do bad things happen to good people?” ...

• Daemonodicy: The Problem of Good

  
  — Authority:
  Daemonodicy ~ The Problem of Good ~ Jason Zarri “ Leibniz’s solution of the problem of evil, like most of his other popular doctrines, is logically possible, but not very convincing. A Manichaean might retort that this is the worst of all possible worlds, in which the good things ...
