John MacArthur: Why Does God Allow So Much Suffering and Evil?

One of the most pressing challenges to Christianity is the problem of evil. Unbelievers are quick to ask how Christians can believe in the existence of a good God in the face of so much evil. In this session, Dr. John MacArthur will examine what Scripture teaches regarding evil and suffering and why it exists in the world.

This preaching brought me tears and led me to repentance and surrender to God's sovereignty over the sudden death of my husband who was a pastor in January 17, 2022. Nothing had prepared me for it. I was angry at why God didn't heal him while in the ICU for 28 hours. I wasn't even able to say goodbye. I felt that my faith in His healing power was betrayed. I waited for 3 hours, after he was clinically declared by the doctors, in his bed for Jesus to bring back my husband's life. I got bitter when it didn't happen and I questioned His love and faithfulness. This preaching has rebuked me and I acknowledge God, in His sovereignty, allowing such death to happen. I don't know exactly on how to move on but I trust God to take care of me. Since my husband died, life as a widow became so difficult. Thank you for posting this sermon.

[@timothyunderwood488]

Study History and some original scripture which is in Hebrew. Where is the Way, Truth and Life? Well in messiah and His true name is YAHUSHA the Ha Mashiach. Names don't change in Language. Spelling does because it's a different language, but pronouncing does not change. Research the origins of the name ''Jesus'' and see how it is ''Jee Zeus'' the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek as well as ''earth pig'' in Latin. Research what ''Lord'' means and ''God'' as well. Why in the KJV is there ''Name of the LORD'' all over the place when ''LORD'' is not a name? Why is there ''LORD'' in caps and ''lord'' in lowercase? Because KJ took His name out. Research that and Pray for understanding. Messiah walked the earth as a dark skinned Hebrew man ''Yahusha'' not a white man named Jesus. The Scriptures have been watered down much over the years by the enemy who is the god of this world, satan and he knows the Scriptures better than anyone except the Almighty YAHUAH Himself. Many books have been taken out as well. Salvation is in the blood of Yahusha who is YAHUAH in the flesh. YAHUAH is the Name of the Almighty and His Name is very important just as the Scripture speaks. Those few truly born again obey the Torah just as messiah spoke and are not in religion. Those two plus billion christians can't fully obey it because they are just in religion and not filled with the true Ruach (Spirit) of Elohiym Almighty. Christianity is Truth mixed with lies. Many are called and FEW are chosen. Fear and Obey YAHUAH the Almighty whose name is written in mankinds DNA and History and Original Text.

THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AS TOLD BY YESHAYA BEN JOSEPH(jesus), WHO STUDIED, PONDERED, MEDITATED UPON, AND ULTIMATELY COMMUNED WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT EXISTS WITHIN HIMSELF, AS WELL AS EVERY LAST ONE OF US..... God is OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS(SPIRIT), not a personal god that gives or witholds, rewards or punishes! CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS/BUDDHA MIND/UNIVERSAL MIND is the CONSCIOUS ACTIVITY OF GOD in Our Affairs.....!! Therefore, "A True Christian.....A Christ One......is he who frees his soul from the consciousness of the body/mind and unites it with the Christ Intelligence(God) Pervading all Creation.. Jesus speaking AS Christ Consciousness told us this, but without Spiritual Discernment, the true message is seen through the eyes of the Illusory Human Intellect(SATAN/ERROR) that created God in his image through religious dogma and idol worship(worshipping jesus the human man)...(We can't serve two masters, we either serve the illusory sense of separation from Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness that causes dualistic the beliefs in good and evil, or we serve the only Power that Exists, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnidimensional, Infinite Consciousness) "I Have Overcome the World" -Christ Consciousness The above words Spiritually/Mystically/Truthfully Discerned would be as such: I Have Overcome the Illusory Sense of the Separate Self(the human mind and body of jesus) .... Jesus the human man was no different than any one of us, as he had gone through all the things we've gone through, but he learned Spiritual Discernment and Truth while learning about, pondering upon, meditating upon, and then communing with the One Infinite Source that is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness, or as he called it: The Father(The Kingdom of Heaven Within). This is the same for Moses, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Shankara and many other Spiritually Illumined Beings throughout the ages. They all RECOGNIZED It's the Activity of Truth in Our Consciousness that Performs Our Miracles, that Leads Our Lives.... So, until we stop relying on the illusory human state of mind(Satan) we can't leave the old and come into the new...that being Christ Consciousness(or Infinite/God Consciousness) Christ revealed that the ONLY TRAITOR in our midst is the illusory human nature(Satan). So we must learn to die every day to our reliance on the human mind, and listen in the one and only place where you may hear the Divine.....In Silence!(Meditation on the One and Only Power...Omnipresent, Infinite Spirit, or God) The word of the father is in the kingdom of God(Inner Spirit), not in the illusory realm of Matter/Materialism. This means it isn't in a book or in a church..... Nothing of the illusory realm of matter is of God, as God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Consciousness, or SPIRIT ONLY!! "Of mine own self(illusory sense of self) I can do nothing. It is the Father(Omnipresent Consciousness) that doeth the work". Nothing of this illusory realm of existence matters to God, as God only knows that of itself, and illusion and mesmerism are not of God, so no, God Consciousness doesn't know us as an illusory human being even exists, so our car payments, illnesses, troubles, failures and woes do not matter at all. There's no greater horror than to leave one's mind to the dualistic, carnal nature of this illusory world. When Christ Consciousness through Jesus spoke of SATAN, he was speaking of the Human Carnal Mind, and it's world of mental illusions and mesmeric beliefs. It's illnesses, cares, worries, lies, beliefs, and so on.... We must let the Splendor of God Consciousness to Pour Forth and Live It as Jesus did once he Recognized the Truth that the Father/God is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness!! The presence of God Consciousness in me is the presence of God Consciousness in you.... The recognition of God in us helps us to ultimately recognize the same in all things. And the recognition of God in my enemy ultimately makes my enemy my ally.... The function of Christ Consciousness that Unfolded from the Consciousness of Yeshaya(jesus) is to relieve us of the belief of Two powers(good and evil), and to recognize that Life is not created, Life unfolds. This means that God is always the same. The same yesterday as today and tomorrow.....God Unfolds, God Does Not Create!! Perfection needs to create nothing!! There isn't God AND Man.....There is Only God AS Man. Because of this dualistic belief we pray the way we do, i.e. asking for things, healings, etc. With the realization we are God experiencing awareness AS each and every one of us, we will come to understand that there is nothing or nobody to ask anything of or for. "The Kingdom of God is spread out all over the world, men just don't see it...." Supply, Sufficiency, Health, Love, all things of God are right where we stand. Our prayers should only be the recognition that we embody these truths. Asking God for anything, regardless of what it is, is sitting directly in the middle of the Two Powers of the illusory mind of man. So we must sit in silence listening for the still small voice of God to make itself known, and then we must free it from its prison of our human beliefs in order for it to escape and be Christ AS Each One of us!! Psalm 23....The Prayer of IS, to the mind with Spiritual Discernment(the only way to understand the Bible) says....(I DONT HAVE TO ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING, BECAUSE HE/I IS ALL. I NEED NOT BEG AND PLEAD FOR THE MERCY OR THE GRACE OF GOD BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WHERE I STAND). Acknowledge God in all ways. Acknowledge that God is ALWAYS HERE, whether I make my bed in hell(living in the illusory materialistic mind) or I dwell in Heaven(living as Christ Consciousness), God will never leave me nor forsake me.... God is manifest as the very life of our being....God Already IS, and our prayers should indicate this!! There's no pleading to God. Prayer should only be a declaration of God's Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Self.....! Our True Spiritual Self!! If we keep this in our thoughts at all times, this word of truth which is alive in each of us, it will externalize itself as our health, our supply, our home, our friends, our love for all others as ourselves, etc, etc....

Depression... is just a choice. YOU ‘choose life or death’, YOUR mind must be renewed (Rom12:2, 2Cor10:4,5, 11:3). God 'limited' Himself, Ps78:41. About ‘sovereignty’, the worst religious doctrine⁉️ Often religion mixes the Old and the New Covenant (or, ‘Testament’) and encourages performance (change from the outside in!) instead of grace through faith, and has done much harm in history. But maybe the biggest heresy of religion, which is preached possibly in 99% of the churches, is the wrong concept of ‘sovereigty’. God (in the NT) is not the source of evil, sickness, tsunamies, drugsabuse, etc! He also does not “allow” this to “educate” you. LIES of hell! God is only good ✝️❤️ “I believe this is the worst doctrine that is working in the Body of Christ today” that completely negates the trust that 'God is a good God', Andrew Wommack. If you believe that God made you sick, why would you go to the doctor, to get rid of sickness, trying to get out of God’s will? Jesus said, ‘You hypocrites... you are if you think and do these things’, Mark 7. Well okay, don't try medicine; let sickness abound in you! God 'gave it to you' (?), teach you a lesson'(?), 'God must have a purpose with my sickness(?). What a shame for God when you listen to the accuser, and think you have no responsibility now.

Sorry but you have not found the truth . This man does not preach but a very watered down gospel message at best. Sadly that is very much a common message these days. Jesus provided so much more then this man declares in preaches. Jesus made healing very easy to receive when one understands the laws governing faith. Laws like gravity. Saved or not if you violate that law both will get the same result. If you are not seeking God with all your heart your most likely not going to find him. Their are only a few ministries I know of that really make available teaching that will correctly guide people to a full understanding of Gods word.

@@burtcooper612 those verses are proof that gentiles even though they did not have the laws were guilty before God then Paul proceeds to prove to the Jews that because they have the law are even more guilty then gentiles.

In my 63 years of life, going to church, growing up in a Christain family have I ever heard someone explain "why evil exist in the world" as well as you have done here. Thank you so much for an awesome, truthful, biblical explanation. My only prayer is that I'm able to answer better the next time I'm asked this question or those like it. Our God is a great god, He is the beginning and the end. Thank you for posting this I'm sure it won't be the last time I listen to it in hopes to give those asking this question "why evil exist or why did God allow this to happen.?"

[@horseman4now]

May God bless and empower you. This is, as Jesus said, a "hard word."

[@morningglory9288]

I will tell you the real truth why theres so much suffering. You will notice in Genesis there are two different accounts of creation. Genesis 1:26, 27 reads "Then God said, “Let US make human beings in OUR image, to be like US. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” 27 So God created human beings in his (their) own image. In the image of God he (they) created them; MALE and FEMALE he (they) created them." Notice here these verses speak of two initial Gods as in 'US' and 'OUR', and they created humans in their image male and female. This gives us a good indication there was initially a male God entity and a feminine God entity. The male God entity turned rebellious in heaven desiring exclusive devotion and became extremely jealous of his feminine counterpart. So at this point he was cast out of heaven taking ⅓ of the heavenly spirit beings or angel's with him who sided with him. These angel's became demons. (Rev 12:9) In Genesis chptr 2:4 we read the second account of creation where this rebellious God begins his own creation independent from his feminine counterpart. He created Adam out of dust because unlike the true God who can create from nothing, he needed human DNA or blueprint that was present in the soil. Then he used one of Adam's ribs to create Eve. This God whom we read in the Hebrew scriptures as Jehovah/Yahweh/LORD is Satan the devil. He turned rebellious in heaven and became Satan. Once Adam and Eve broke his commandment not to eat from the tree of knowledge knowing good and bad, sin was introduced into the human race. Now they among all the Israelites that followed thereafter were required to sacrifice their firstborn males both human and animal for the atonement of their sins. Exodus 13:2 "Then the LORD said to Moses, 2 “Dedicate to me every firstborn among the Israelites. The first offspring to be born, of both humans and animals, belongs to me.” Exodus 34:19, 20 "The firstborn of every animal belongs to me, including the firstborn males from your herds of cattle and your flocks of sheep and goats. 20 A firstborn donkey may be bought back from the LORD by presenting a lamb or young goat in its place. But if you do not buy it back, you must break its neck. However, you must buy back every firstborn son. “No one may appear before me without an offering." Jesus was the firstborn from the true God, the feminine God entity. He was also a Jew, so he became Jehovah/LORD/Yahweh/Satans ultimate human blood sacrifice. He being the cunning jealous and devious God that he is, he exploited Jesus death, claiming him as his dearly beloved son and had this account written in the bible as the one who died for all of humanities sins. This is in fact a lie as it was Satan who invented sin and it was Satan who saw to Jesus's crucifixion, as he wanted Jesus dead as he would be a threat to his sovereignty. John 8:44 "For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies." In the bible we read of Jesus as seen to be praying to his Father. Again this is another lie that Jehovah/LORD/Yahweh/Satan had inspired men to pen, so as humans would be deceived into worshipping him as the true God. Jesus actually addressed his prayers to his beautiful, loving heavenly Mother who has been deliberately omitted out of all accounts of the bible so as Jehovah/LORD /Satan gets all the glorification bestowed upon himself. This is why there is so much evil in the world because Satan who is the ruler of the world has caused it all. 2 Corinthians 4:4 "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe...." Psalms 83:18 "Then they will learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth." The true God has no name, She is simply identified as ,"God'. She does not need to prove herself to anyone as she is certain of Her attributes and her LOVE of all her creation. You will read a little about this true feminine God in Rev 12:1-5 known as the Woman who gave birth to her Son....Jesus.
