    Doing Good To Evildoers And The Story Of Jean Valjean

    Status: God's holding my hand as I walk very slowly. Still feel like I'm getting nowhere in my faith walk or in my life walk but surely I'm moving forward. I was reading through the NT earlier today and thinking about my worry for my mother who gets angry with things quite easily and is often...

    Why did God say He created evil?

    Isaiah 45:7 says: 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.' Yet Genesis 1:31 teaches that 'God saw every thing that he made, and, behold, it was very good.' I think God declared that everything he made was perfect. So how can He say...

    Proof God created evil

    Please either find the mistake in this logic, or find the false premise: 1. God created free agents 2. Free agents have the potential to do evil, e 3. Potential has a non-zero probability, p, where 0<p<1 4. Therefore, over infinite time, the probability of a free agent to perform evil...

    From All Evil

    Saturday, November 5, 2016, 11:24 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Gift of God.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 121 (ESV). Our Help (vv. 1-2) I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and...

    Is God ultimately responsible for evil?

    Hi, I have been a Christian for pretty much my whole life. I'm 35. Recently I've been attempting to nut out whether the attributes of the God I believe in make sense to the actual world we live in. Here is the problem I'm attempting to solve in a way that I feel satisfied. 1. God has no...

    Do you believe someone can be demonically possessed? Are drugs the gateway to possession?

    In our day and age there is a scientific answer for everything it seems. It's funny to think people refused to believe the Earth was round yet we have people nowaday's that believe a baby made from 3 different people is the evolution of science and a miracle. I'm 16 by the way, so I don't know...

    Intelligent MALEVOLENT design?

    Hi! This is coming from a curious nonbeliever. I've been seriously pondering the theory of abiogenesis and Darwinian macroevolution, and found them wanting. It does seem more intuitive to me to believe there is an intelligence behind creation, than everything is sheer randomness (not to...

    Please pray for my mental wellbeing

    Lately I have been having clearly evil thoughts, telling me to do evil, and making me feel guilty whenever I do ANYTHING (if that makes sense), thereby I am really struggling with judging what is sinful or not and I'm feeling helpless, and all of this scares me. I also haven't been able to focus...

    GOD'S ABILITY TO ALLOW OR DISALLOW

    IF WE STAY CONNECTED TO GOD, through the Lord Jesus Christ by the Word and prayer, by the power of the Holy Spirit, then God Who created Satan (who became (of his own free will as explained above) the waster) WILL NOT ALLOW ANY WEAPON SATAN has fashioned against you to prosper: Isaiah 54:16-17...

    To create or not to create?

    I've been struggling with this for a while and was wanting some other perspectives or input. My issue has to do with evil/suffering so to speak. God is supposed to be the greatest good. I would think that God would prevent suffering whenever possible (For the sake of this argument lets assume...

    (Almost) Answering the Problem of Evil

    Or "How the Problem of Evil PROVES (Rather than Disproves) the Existence of a Benevolent, Personal God" Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he...
