There’s So much Pain and suffering in the world there can’t be a good God
Either God is all powerful or all good If he is all good he wouldn’t allow pain and suffering if he is all powerful he could keep all suffering from happening.
De-Bunked Not DeNice
Duck 1 - A Good God Wouldn’t Allow Pain and Suffering
Duck 1 - A Good God Wouldn’t Allow Pain and Suffering
What if the temporal nature of pain and suffering was actually neccesary to accomplish a greater eternal thing?
2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Pain suffering Trials are real temporary necessary in preparing us for something greater Not worth comperimg to eternal life
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in consciences our but shouts to us in our pain, It is his megaphone to arouse a deaf world. - CS Lewis
Duck 2 - If there is a God, He wouldn’t care about us otherwise he wouldn’t allow pain and suffering
God creates a beautiful good sinless perfect world fpr us to live and flourish in
we destroy it by our own free will
Commit horrible crimes against him and each other
He does not punish but is patient and pursues us in love
Jesus gives his life for ours, takes the punishment
Conquers sin and death by rising from the dead
Allows anyone who repents to be
Redeemed restored renewed and live in paradise even though we don’t deserve it
Does that sound like a God who doesn’t care?
U can’t see a good and morally sufficient reason for God to allow this particular suffering to happen to this person
What percentage of all there is to know do you know.
The GOd of the Bible knows 100% of all there is to know
There is nowhere in that gap where there might be a morally sufficient reason?
Banking on the chance that you know more than God
So you’re telling me there’s a chance
Job Chapters 38-41
33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth?
1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. 2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. 3 He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In comparison to God we don’t know Jack
But we can Know Jesus
The ultimate remedy for all pain and suffering and will put an end to all evil
Either God is all powerful or all good If he is all good he wouldn’t allow pain and suffering if he is all powerful he could keep all suffering from happening.
