God’s Purpose for Evil is the Revealing of His Great Glory Where the Free Will defense frames God as dependent on the free will choices of man, the Greater-Good and Greater-Glory theodicies present him as sovereignly decreeing evil for the express purpose of accomplishing a specific good. As Welty explains, the Greater-Good theodicy reveals, “That […] The post Answering the Problem of Evil – Part 3, All For the Glory of God appeared first on Voice of Reason.| Voice of Reason
God’s Goodness and Glory are Limited Under Free Will To address the charges that God cannot be both omnipotent and wholly good if he permits evil to exist, some theologians present the defense that God created beings that have complete free agency to choose what actions they will take. For these beings to truly worship […] The post Answering the Problem of Evil – Part 2, Isn’t It All About Free Will? appeared first on Voice of Reason.| Voice of Reason
Introduction The issue over the existence of evil is a perpetual concern for the Christian church. Christians are routinely challenged by secularists, philosophers, and anti-theists with the “problem of evil,” which asks if God is truly omnibenevolent and omnipotent, how can evil exist in his world?

Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

There is little question today about our culture being deeply divided. Anti-Christian ideologies in the form of secularism, feminism, critical race theory, and more have worked to isolate people into groups which are then pitted against one another.

It should come without saying that Christians should not engage in gossip. Telling tales about others, which is often based on second or third-hand information, lacks any real evidence, and is done purely for one’s own satisfaction, is a sin.
