185: Answering God's Critics pt 14 - Problem of Evil pt 5 - Theodicy: Why Does God Permit Evil?

I’ve demonstrated that evil doesn’t make God’s existence impossible or even unlikely, but one might wonder why, if God exists, He permits evil. What is the purpose? This is the question of theodicy. I cover five reasons God might permit evil:1.       To better our souls via moral growth (soul-making theodicy)2.       To bring glory to God3.       To make moral freedom and love possible4.       To make happiness possible5.       To reveal more of God to usWeb: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: [email protected]: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve
