God, Evil and Suffering

  Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files as a platform to point to the epidemic of child sex abuse in the United States. Dr. Hall points out that God, the sovereign omnipotent all-powerful ruler of the universe, and our lives can heal anything or stop anything! At the same time, it is obvious that there are things that God chooses not to stop or heal. The polio epidemic, babies born without legs and arms due to a drug known as thalidomide, 1.2 million people lose their lives to the Covid virus are all contemporary things that God chose not to intervene into. Even the apostle Paul on three different occasions prayed that the Lord would free him from his source of pain – 2 Corinthians 12:8. His prayer went unanswered. It is widely accepted among psychiatrists, psychologists and researchers that there is no cure for pedophilia. Dr. Hall uses the writings of theologian John Feinberg to tackle the question of what possible good might God accomplish in our lives through suffering and afflictions? Dr. Hall points out that we are engaged in a spiritual war and that God doesn’t always answer our prayers in the way that we want or on our timetable.  Can also be heard on all podcast search engines and viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/_DsqiuVyEeI.
