Explaining the Problem of Evil

Wars like the one in Ukraine...dreadful pandemics like COVID-19...senseless violence and death. None of it seems to square up with the idea of a god who cares. But maybe there's more to it than we understand. Shawn Boonstra looks for answers in part 2 of our series on the problem of evil.

About Authentic:
Host Shawn Boonstra makes it easy to understand how philosophy and biblical principles can help you live an authentic life in the 21st century.
We talk about real existential questions-stuff that everybody wonders about: the meaning of life, purposeful living, the nature of human existence, the thoughts of great philosophers and how those have impacted our culture and how we live-the nature of love, relationships, emotions, self-awareness . . . But most of all, we explore what it means to live an authentic human existence.
New episodes on Saturdays. Watch on RUclips and a growing list of North American TV networks and stations.

This is a mind growing sermon!! Sermons so many times are more entertainment, but Shawns' sermon is so on target for people today, and the decline of Christainity in America, and that is why evil is booming in America society!! May this sermon, and many more bring revival among all age groups in our country, because when we see signs around the earth, it cannot be long until Jesus comes again!! Thanks for reaching down deep in our hearts!!!

Good explanation however I still can’t wrap my brain around how we all are suffering because of Adam and Eve’s fall. Since we were born into sin of course we are going to choose sin. I guess if we all had the choice to eat of the tree and then suffer the consequences of our choice that would make sense, but we all are thrown into one basket of suffering because of them, because of our parents, because of our neighbours, etc. Our experience of evil always comes from other people. Anyway I guess that’s where faith comes in. I choose to follow God and someday He will explain everything to me.

Once again you have done a wonderful job in helping me understand the complexity of this subject. I have found that I learn so much and I have to listen to some again just to be sure I didn't miss anything.

Got has to permit evil to show all creation what would happen if sin was ok
