- People in our culture sometimes wonder how a God of love could allow evil and suffering in the world. They point to this concern and often conclude that either God is unjust or He doesn’t exist. In this session, Dr. Burk Parsons examines the good purposes of our sovereign and loving God in allowing evil.

Thank you for helping transform (and reform) my mind from the thinking of the world, flesh, and devil. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has caused us to be born again to the living hope of the gospel.
Love this Parsons fella! Honest, polished, and and gets straight to the point. God Bless you Brother Burke.
Wow that was Deep!!Thank you Jesus Christ!!🙏🙏🙏!!!Have mercy on America and the world..
Thank you for all that you do! I feel clarity watching these videos. I struggle with understanding The Lord's decisions because he sometimes allows schools full of children to burn to the ground and consume the little humans inside alive. But I know that he is still good and merciful.

If we were going to be consistent in our Calvinism then we would have to say that the only reason people hate God is because God determined for them to do so, and they cannot know God because God didn’t choose them. In the final analysis it’s God who makes them an atheist, they had no choice in the matter. They could not have done otherwise.
The bottom line, sinners don't deserve the grace, mercy, or love of God because of their nature of sin (Romans 3:9-20, Jeremiah 17:9, Ephesians 2:1-3, etc.) yet God has every day grace, mercy, and love on them. And the sinner judges God on their own subjective morality; they basically make a standard that God's goodness is only defined by what God does for them (and this is a faulty premise). In fact, the sinner thinks no "bad" thing should happen to them when by God's standard, they are actually the bad ones. So the one who is bad questions the One who gives us the absolute standard of morality? This is addressed by God in both Job 38:2 and Romans 9:14 because the question is based on a faulty premise about God, the sinner, and even the Word of God: The premise needs to be corrected then the answer can be given.
No one is good! All need to be punished since all are wicked. No one deserves good from holy and righteous God.
God commanded "he that sin shall surley die" and it is so unto today. God also gave command of the thorns and thistles upon the fall of man. God will not be mocked sin bring more troubles when not repented. When man continues to test God by staying in rebellion evil comes. So run to the grace of God lest you be consumed in sin.
Amen
People don’t come to Jesus because God has not allowed them to come. You must be regenerated before you can even believe in God. I would think as much as burk and John and RC preach this they would understand it..
If sin didn’t exist, then there would be no need for Grace..✝️
Actually the title should be, " How can an all-loving God CREATE evil? "(Isaiah 45:7; Exodus 4: 11-13 KJV) Could it be that he's NOT all loving.. nor his love (to those deemed worthy to receive it) UNCONDITIONAL?? In fact the assertion that he is all loving is an absurd statement to make in light of the book of Exodus alone, not to mention countless other places in the Hebrew Bible.
Alternate title 'Burk beats around the bush for 20 minutes'
I am a Christian, He explained nothing except reinforced athiests belief in Calvin's capricious god unfortunately, he did not solve anything or answer the question.
No, he actually did explain it; in fact he went into great detail why the question is wrong. The assumption here is that the attribute of the goodness of God is dependent upon Him catering to the sinner. In other words, the sinner will only think God is good if nothing bad happens to the sinner. The sinner forgets that his whole nature is against God (Romans 3:9-20, 8:7-8 Ephesians 2:1-3, Jeremiah 17:9, etc.) though he knows God exists, but suppresses that truth in their unrighteousness (Romans 1:18-23).
The question attacks three things: The attributes of God (the sinner has a wrong idea of God's attributes, particularly goodness, justice, and fairness), the sinfulness of man (the sinner thinks he is "good" and doesn't deserve a "bad" thing to happen to him because he defines good and bad by his own subjective standards), and the Word of God (because the Bible describes both who God is and who man is, but the sinner disagrees with the scriptures on both). I taught apologetics at my church two years ago and this was the most common question (in different forms) that pops up. I actually uploaded a video/audio on my channel addressing this question two years ago: ruclips.net/video/8E1IYtXaOhc/видео.html
We are to show the one asking the question that the question is based on a faulty premise (that the sinner thinks they don't deserve a "bad" thing to happen when in reality they are actually bad and actually don't deserve God's every day grace). Dr. Parsons rightly asked the question from Romans 9:14 (basically the same question God asked Job in Job 38:2) and we are not to answer the question based on a faulty premise or we will be like him in terms of our worldview (Proverbs 26:4), but we can show them the foundation of their worldview that underlies their question to show how foolish they are in terms of challenging them about their subjective moral standard they put on God (Proverbs 26:5).
I agree. I pray this will simplify things a bit better here is what I believe.
Why does God allow so much suffering and evil? Because to remove it would mean the removal of humanity it's self and of you!

He did not actually answer the question....
He answer it by quoting Paul : Who are you to ask and question GOD?
@@adamyeoadam4769 if you yearn for man’s fallen wisdom or empty philosophy to answer the question of theodicy rather than the exegesis of Christian Scriptures and reflecting on Theology than you got your understanding into a naught.
Absolutely I’m agree with your statement . He’s just talking around 2 without unswerving the questions 😂😂😂
