I use to be an atheist mainly for this reasoning mostly along with the bible written by man etc etc. I came to learn I was x wrong on every aspect of my thinking. When Satan began to challenge god's rule . Btw. He didn't challenge his power he challenged his rule. He said he could rule the angels better than god. God could have just snapped his fingers and say be gone with you Lucifer. The only problem with that v would be left on the angels mind with what if Lucifer was right? Also they would serve out of fear and not love. So God said ok Lucifer show me. He gave him control of this world and since the beginning of time war after war. Government after government has failed. The world has become more evil with every passing generation. Well there are millions of angels watching this saga play out and they see that life without God is not good. They also see that Lucifer is failing at his endeavour to rule better than God. The end is near and God is getting ready to take back this world he designed to be inhabited forever.

Health and wealth are still promised in the Bible (Abraham and David became rich, Jesus healed all of those who came to him), but yes, suffering is inevitable as well. If a pastor promotes health and wealth, BUT emphasizes that health and wealth is only possible through Jesus AND ALSO reminds us that suffering and trials can still happen, I think their heart is still in the right place. It's a matter of context and making sure that Jesus is still the priority of the message. What's wrong is when pastors put health and wealth at the forefront and forget about Jesus and the inevitable suffering that sharing the Gospel brings (and even demand tithes to boot).

Like statements we hear everyday from people, we look at the situation or context if we wish to have accurate determination. The quote in question is the last line of an occasion where Jesus was giving the disciples a picture of the (national) unbelief of Israel through the fig tree that would hence bear no more fruit. The disciples were marveled and puzzled so Jesus prophesied that they would take up a mountain and cast it into the sea. Again, this is a picture, not a literal, and it relates to the disciples "upending" Israel's religious establishment through the gospel. Finally He gave the 21:22 statement. The context already limits this statement about prayer to the disciples' relation to Israel and their (upcoming) promulgation of the gospel message to Israel. So it meant that they would have receptive help in all things they asked in relation to their ability to witness to Israel. Can't take quotes from the Bible, a politician, a textbook, or anywhere else without due consideration to the occasion of why something was said.

"Why does God allow evil"? Because he's allowing us humans to try and do things our own way without him, but we're failing miserable. Once God is satisfied that we've learned the lesson that we can't live without him, he'll step in and completely stop all evil and undo all injustices and bring everyone back to life, and then he'll say, "Ok now lets try it my way."

The scriptures say that??. They shall be brought back??. Superman and batman - the Hollywood fictional figures would not have let Hitler get away with it. Despite their meager powers compared to the almighty God. In summary :- Is God unable to prevent evil, then he is not all-powerful. Is God able but unwilling to prevent evil, then he is not all-good. Is God both willing and able to prevent evil, then why does evil exist? If you can logically answer those questions then you can convert me to Christianity or a believer in deities. While you are at it read GENESIS 3:22 and explain to me what type of a petty God this is.
@antiNuetron6 жыл бұрын
@Tom Foolish.. I'm glad you mentioned the story in Genesis because that is the reason God allows evil, death and suffering. God made Adam and Eve without blemish meaning they would have never got sick, grew old or died. But he also gave them free will to choose to obey and love him or not. If they were forced to obey and love him then they wouldn't have free will and the love wouldn't have meant anything. The tree in the Garden of Eden was a test of their free will. It represented God's right to be ruler and he is the only person who can rightly say what is right and wrong since he created us. God laid one command on Adam and Eve and warned them that they would "positively die" if they ate from the tree. When Satan deceived Eve through a snake, and Adam and Eve ate from the tree, all 3 of them raised the issue that God doesn't have the right to be ruler. Old age and death was caused by Adam and Eve when they disobeyed because they now passed that imperfection on to everyone else. God could have just wiped them out and started over with 2 new humans, but that wouldn't have settle the issue. So God basically said "OK, you think you can live without my guidance? I'll allow time to let you try." But when we look back through history, we can see humans have failed at governing themselves and humans have caused much of the suffering in the world. The day that they disobeyed, God set a plan in motion to undo what they did. Thats where Jesus comes in. He came to get back what Adam had lost for us humans. The day is coming soon when God and Jesus will undo death, suffering and all of mans problems. Anyone who has died for any reason will be brought back to life on earth for a chance to live again, including sinners. (Psalm 37:29; Acts 24:15; John 5:28+29) God didn't create evil. Its the result of free will. So God is able to prevent evil he just chooses not to right now and he knows he easily can undo all of the injustices evil has caused. God is also willing to prevent evil because he has promised to end evil once he is satisfied that we have learned our lesson that we can't live without him. God has also stopped evil in the past with the Flood and at Sodom and Gomorrah. So now, how do people like Hitler fit into all of this? The Bible doesn't say exactly who will be brought back to life. Only Jesus will decide who is worthy of a second chance. It would seem to us that someone like Hitler isn't worthy, but we have to leave it to Jesus to decide. If Jesus decides not to resurrect him, he will be erased from existence. Either way, *all* of the people he killed or people like him killed, will be brought back to life in a new body. They will all have a chance to live forever, so what Hitler did to them will seem like nothing after they've lived a few hundred years. There's obviously way more to the Bible than this. If any of this doesn't make sense I'd be happy to explain more. By the way, I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Set aside some traditional beliefs you have if you want to understand why evil exists. Almost all Christians think that God is in control of everything that happens here on earth, but he isn't: 1 John 5:19: ...the whole world is under the control of the EVIL ONE. God gave authority in the earth to Adam. Adam gave it to Satan, Jesus got it back and gave it to man again. God is on the outside looking in. God can't do anything on the earth unless he has a man's authority to work through. Why do you think he had to send Jesus, a MAN? If he could just do anything, which he can't, why didn't he just flip his finger and solve the sin problem without sending Jesus? And almost all Christians believe that everything that happens to them is God's will. Does God's will always happen on the Earth? No. God doesn't want people to perish and go to hell, but it's happening against his will: 2 Peter 3:8-10: The Lord is ... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Even Jesus said, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." That shows you that God's will is being performed in heaven but not completely on the earth yet. Just think logical, in John 10:10 Jesus said the 'thief' comes to Kill, Steal, and Destroy But I have come to give you Life To The Full! Does "life to the full" sound like the evil of child abuse, rape, murder, kidnapping, cancer, etc.? No way!!! Jesus wants the BEST for us, "Life To The Full!!!" There is a "Doctrine of Demons" and it teaches that God is in control of everything, meaning sickness, disease, and accidents as well. But we can see from the above scriptures that this is not true. Evil exists because God gave authority of this earth to Adam, who, in turn, gave it to the evil one. We, mankind, ultimately, and thanks to Jesus, ended up with that authority. But we still Satan and demons as enemies that we have to use it against. Most Christians don't even know that they have this authority. Satan, demons, man's free will, and physics are causing the pain and suffering! Jesus gave us the authority to be kings and conquerors here on earth, we are to use that authority against evil instead of sitting back and blaming God for these misfortunes. Some people are so confused that they think that these misfortunes are BLESSINGS from God to humble us or teach us something. Wow, that's a totally unbiblical view of God's character. How is that 35 year old man that died of cancer going to put into practice whatever it was that God was, supposedly, teaching him? If you really want it laid out clear, see the book, "When Healing Prayers Aren't Working - Spiritual Warfare for Real."

He didn't answer a thing. Just made many assertions and focused on persecution in this incomplete video of the talk. Post the whole thing, otherwise this only begs more questions. Us Christians aren't the only ones who suffer evil ..so how does "we weren't told we'd be protected, we see we'll be persecuted" help those outside of the religion? Evil isn't just on the religious....evil doesn't care about all that, evil is a HUMAN problem in general. Animals deal with their own.

It's actually NOT that difficult to see how this fake conundrum came to be. "In the beginning" (of the career of human beings as a species), nothing was known about the world and our place in it, nothing was known in regard to the causes of events, everything was mysterious and terrifying - disease, natural disasters, lack of resources - we were just starting to figure things out from scratch. It's a natural human tendency to anthropomorphize, so it was only natural that we'd invent "gods" who were responsible for various phenomena, whom we could petition by various means to provide conditions that were favorable to human flourishing. Of course, since this was a misconstruing of the true causes behind perceived effects, it wasn't an effective "science" - people got what they asked for from their gods at a rate identical with what they'd have gotten if they'd left it to chance. Yet they'd invented the gods, so they had to invent reasons for being failed by them - and thus, in one of the worst moments ever in human history, the notion of "sin" was born. "We've offended the gods; it's OUR fault that disaster has befallen us." And thus we get all the elaborate systems of taboo and sacrifice that are still enshrined in religion. "How do we make it right with the gods? Let's give up the things that are most precious to us [e.g.], offer them to our gods, so that they'll protect and favor us." Hence desperate notions like that of the sacrifice of the first-born - "Here, take this one, and leave me the rest." This way of thinking is portrayed with startling clarity in the Hebrew Bible - Jerusalem is invaded and destroyed as a direct consequence of Israel having fallen away from God. Over and over again, all the disasters that befall the Israelites/Hebrews are attributed to their religious waywardness (rather than their obvious, to us, natural causes). They're in a constant state of guilt and shame, constantly excoriating themselves, constantly grovelling to the being they've made up to protect them, but who has let them down. Later, mingle this abhorrent concept with certain "pagan" notions of a demigod born of the congress of a god in animal form with a human female, and certain "mystery cult" concepts of a "savior" god who redeems mortals from their mortality, and you get Christianity - in which God offers his own "first born" as a sacrifice that vicariously saves all of mankind from sin and death, and grants them eternal life.

Keyser Soze evil is a choice we are given to make between good and bad. The choice is given because when God judges those who rejected the answer given to evil he will be justified. He has never “made” anyone believe in him. Evil comes from human choice to not acknowledge the creator and what’s good. The choice had to be given because of worship. You don’t worship what you don’t love and you have to chose to love.
