Korede Bello studied the Bible and left Islam. ☪️➡️✝️ He didn’t study Scripture to hunt for contradictions, he studied with a sincere heart to understand the truth, and God revealed Himself to him. You can hear it in how deeply he understands the cross and the resurrection, even more...

So evil exists, God exists, God willed evil to exist. He didn’t create it, He couldn’t. He’s holy, holy, holy. But He didn’t prevent it The Problem of Evil — John MacArthur // March 17, 2007 You have to understand that this issue of the problem of evil is the big issue, the big one in even evangelical Christianity, as well as liberal Christianity – everybody trying to save God from this biblical definition. Let’s assume for a minute that God doesn’t have the power or willingly limited the power for a greater good, human freedom; or doesn’t have the knowledge. In any case, guess what; evil exists and God exists, and God has no power over evil, and evil dominates the world, and it is beyond His control. The universe is out of control; it’s out of control and the most crucial point. So just exactly how, may I ask you, is God all of a sudden going to get the knowledge of the future that He needs to bring this deal to an end, and how is He going to exercise the power to end it, and how is He going to overturn His immutable decision in the past to give the creature autonomy? How is God going to define the end of everything in the way the Bible says He defines it if He’s not even in control of it, because He will not or cannot exercise the power, or doesn’t have the knowledge? Maybe global warming has more power than God. So I ask you this: Which god would you like? Would you rather have a god trying to get control of evil or a God completely in control of it? It’s obvious. It’s heresy to say the world is full of evil apart from a predetermined plan and purpose by God far beyond the willy-nilly human choices. So evil exists, God exists, God willed evil to exist. He didn’t create it, He couldn’t. He’s holy, holy, holy. But He didn’t prevent it. It occurred in a rebellion against Him. But He willed and ordained that it occurred. In fact, if you study the Bible carefully, you can see many ways in which God designs to use evil things – natural evil, moral evil, supernatural evil – for His own purposes, even eternal evil, sometimes to bring fear and terror and conviction on the unregenerate, sometimes to bring chastisement and discipline on God’s people, sometimes to humble them. And in the case of Job, He turned Satan loose for horrendous evil in the life of Job. You remember that Jesus said to Peter one day, “Satan desires to have you that he may sift you like wheat”? Remember that, Luke 22? And if I’d had been Peter I’d have said, “Well, you told him no, right?” Jesus said, “Actually, I told him yes, have at him.” What? “So that when you’re converted, you can strengthen the brethren.” There’s a remedial purpose in this. “As you come through that difficulty and come out the other side, you’re going to be able to strengthen the brethren.”It was 2 Corinthians 12 where Paul says, “There was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan.” A lot of discussion about what that is. Pretty clear. Messenger is aggelos. A satanic messenger is a what; a demon. I don’t think Paul had a demon in his life, I think that’s the demon that was leading the false teachers who were ripping and shredding the Corinthian church, and Paul prayed three times that it might be removed, and the Lord didn’t remove it. Why? He says twice in 2 Corinthians 12, “to keep me from exalting myself, to keep me from exalting myself.” If God so designs He will use a demon-led false teacher association to rip up a church to humble the pastor. He’s in control of all of that, of all of it.

This weekend is striking me much more intensely than it ever has. The crucification and resurrection of Jesus Christ. What Jesus went through.. the way He remained silent to the priests and elder’s accusations who had arrested Him out of envy. How the priests and elders persuaded the mob to crucify Jesus instead of the notorious criminal Barrabas. The way Pilate was persuaded by the mob and Pilate washed his hands of it and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. The responsibility is yours!” The way the soldiers mocked Him, tortured Him and crucified Jesus as the mob mocked, cheered and watched. The details of this utterly break my heart. And in the midst of it all while being crucified, He saved a man who was being crucified next to Him saying, “Today you will be with me in Paradise”. How on the cross being in excruciating pain He asked for forgiveness for those who were crucifying Him. “For they know not what they do.”💔 And Jesus did it all so that we could be washed clean and enter into heaven to be with Him. My prayer is that more than ever in the history of the humanity, God receives thankful prayers of love for the sacrifice He made and hearts open and receive Him into their lives this weekend. That He sees the gratefulness in our hearts for this life we have been so blessed to be given to stumble and journey through with Him. I also pray mercy for us all that He comfort and be with us every step of the way when we pick up our cross and say, “Here am I, send me.” If this reaches you I hope it’s comforting to know, you are not alone. If you’re not familiar with this story I read Matthew 27 in the Bible today, then I would go to John 3:16. Have a loving #ResurrectionDay this 2024. God bless you. He is Risen.

James Talarico: "I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think other religions of love point to the same truth. I think of different religious traditions as different languages, but we are all talking about the same reality. I believe Jesus Christ reveals that reality to us, but I also think that other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways with their own symbol structures. And I've learned more about my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and Islam and Judaism. And so I see these beautiful faith traditions as circling the same truth about the universe, about the cosmos." You can believe those things, but you can't be a Christian and believe that all religions point to the same truth. In John 14:6, the Jesus that James Talarico claims to follow says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." Talarico is still a member of his childhood congregation, St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, which is a very progressive church in Austin. It shouldn't be surprising at all that in the church’s About Us page it says, "We are Christ centered, yet we respect and learn from all religions of love." That's not a Christian position. If God is love and we believe in the trinity: God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which no other religion believes in, then He is actually the only source of love. There aren't other religions of love in addition to Christianity. It doesn't come as a surprise that Talarico is essentially a universalist who claims to be a Christian and uses some Christian tenets, but actually doesn't believe in the exclusivity of Christ.

Looking back at Alex’s posts, you could clearly see that he truly loved Jesus Christ. He genuinely loved God. He consistently spoke about God and encouraged people to draw closer to Him. And God never overlooks such things, every sincere step taken toward Him matters. And I believe that through the years of his sickness, he drew even closer to God and fully surrendered himself to Him. What many people do not understand is this… It can feel deeply painful when our loved ones die after years of sickness. But sometimes, in ways we may not fully understand, God can use suffering to humble a person and draw them closer to Him. Yes, they may still have died even without the sickness, but perhaps they could have died far from God, still living in their sins. The Bible teaches that God does not desire for anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance and life in Him. Because of His love, He reaches out to people in different ways. Scripture warns us not to harden our hearts when we hear His voice. And that “voice” can come in many forms, through conviction, through challenges, through brokenness, disappointments, and even through sickness or difficult seasons. He uses different situations in our lives to humble us, break pride, soften our hearts, and draw people away from sin. The way He works is not the same for everyone. And many people, through weakness and suffering, come to truly know God and fully surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. So when such a person dies in faith, yes we mourn because we loved them and miss them deeply, but we can also rejoice knowing they were reconciled to God and have the hope of resurrection when Jesus returns. Sometimes we may not understand God’s ways and may even see them as harsh, but there are times when what feels painful in the moment is actually working toward an eternal good we cannot yet fully see. I believe Alex died truly knowing Jesus Christ. I believe he will be resurrected unto eternal life in Christ. And I strongly believe he is in a better place now. I thank God for his life because not everyone gets the opportunity to truly know Jesus and accept Him as Lord before their time on earth comes to an end. Rest well Alex. 🕊️
