It's sad that Steve Lawson doesn't know who created our minds and gave us the ability to know/comprehend His glory. Steve's argument can be reduced to God decreed we sin because He lacks the ability to create beings that can comprehend His glory

What is the nature of an existence that is experienced entirely outside of time itself? Can a single decision that is made in a state of timelessness simultaneously affect EVERY point in time and space? Groundbreaking reconciliation of creationism with natural science.

Gross error misrepresenting the nature of God. We are in a real fight against evil, and God is on our side. God does not smash everything up so he can say, look how great I am, to fix what I broke. Ludicrous.

Romans 3:5 - But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.)

Even on this issue Lawson, Washer et al present humans as nothing more than God’s toys of little value other than to make Him look good. Although I’m not sure why, since we can only do what we’re determined to do anyway. Thank God He loves us more than that.

@coffeewcarson I think it was an inevitable logical consequence of God's desire to have people who choose to love him.

What you mean is why did God decree/determine sin. He never just allowed it as you state.

So all the child raping by church leaders , is to highlight the loving nature of God? You people are nuts. Seek help.

This is a very fundamentally flawed position. It is antithetical to teachings of Christ that God is a merciful father. A father will not toy with his child for his own glory

This is evergreen! When a young boy asks John MacArthur why didn’t Jesus just *Pow* in the garden when Eve ate the apple, He can stop it like that? Bible Questions and Answers, Part 70 — John MacArthur “I’m Joey Cusenza, and my question is, why didn’t Jesus stop Eve at the garden of Eden when she ate the fruit? *Like, I mean, pow,* He can just stop it like that. Why didn’t He?” JOHN: That is the most profound question of all questions: Why didn’t God stop Eve from eating the fruit? This theologians call the problem of theodicy: Why is there evil in the world? If God is absolutely holy, why is there evil in the world? That’s essentially that question: Why didn’t He stop it before it started? First of all, the broad answer is this: because God allowed her to eat that fruit, God allowed sin to come into the world, so that He could be glorified. Now God is a God of love, and He could express that love even in the perfection of the Trinity. And He expressed that love to Adam and Eve when He walked and talked with them before they sinned and before she ate. So God could express His love. But if there had never been a sin, there would never be forgiveness, there would never be mercy, there would never be grace, there would never be compassion, there would never be healing, there would never be restoration. And so, forever and ever, the angels would never be able to worship God for all those aspects of His nature. So God allows evil so that He can display grace and mercy and compassion because those also are attributes of God that can only be put on display through His response to sin. There’s another reason, and that is that God is holy and just and righteous. He would never be able to display ultimately what that means unless there were sinners to judge. So whether it is judgment on sin or whether it is salvation from sin, the fact that sin exists allows God to display eternally the glory of the full scope of His attributes. Okay? Great question. Thank you, bud.

LGBTQ allies fight with British street preacher to defend their sin. All sin is just as bad as the next one in the eyes of God, we all fall short of the glory of God. That’s why we all need Jesus, because He is the grace giver.

This is a prayer I think God answers 100% of the time. The next time you're going through pain, consider asking the *right* question of the living God, who can and does redeem ALL things for His glory.

A new breed of nameless, faceless evangelists is rising — carrying the glory of God that no man can claim. 📖 When His glory comes, it will fill stadiums and hearts without striving, without hype. The harvest is coming, and only His presence can produce it. 🔥

Why does God allow tragedy? As we continue to mourn the loss of so many lives due to the devastating flood in Texas, this question weighs heavily on our hearts. It’s not an easy question to answer. Here are some insights from Scripture that offer perspective on this issue and highlight why we need to turn to God in times of trouble.

Worship Is Warfare Last June went to battle at the Nashville Pride parade, in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ. Our weapons were not of this world, but they had divine power to demolish enemy strongholds (2 Cor. 10:4) We sang Imprecatory psalms. We prayed that God would oppose the evil deeds of darkness. We called sinners to repentance God has heard our prayers. He has seen fit, in his sovereignty, to answer. May God obliterate every organization that promotes degeneracy and leads people into sin. God opposes the PROUD But He gives grace to the humble. May God raise up a host of Christian worship warriors to publicly unapologetically oppose evil and proclaim Christ.

Evil exists, God exists. God wills evil to exist. He did not create it, He could not create it, but He did not prevent it. He ordained it, He willed it - here it comes, listen carefully - because He had a purpose for it; He had a purpose for it - a purpose. Why Does Evil Dominate the World? — John MacArthur // March 4, 2007 If God is not in total control of evil, if He has not ordained it – listen - and if He does not have it under complete control at every millisecond of history, then this universe is out of control at the most crucial point. If God is not in control of this completely, then how and when will He get the knowledge and the power to get it under control? And I would ask you this: would you rather have a God trying to get control of evil, or a God completely in control of it? Take your choice. But the God of the Bible is in complete control of evil for His own purposes. It is really heresy to say that the world is full of evil apart from a predetermined plan and purpose by God that is far above the willy-nilly choices of people. So, what do we know up to now? Evil exists, God exists. God wills evil to exist. He did not create it, He could not create it, but He did not prevent it. He ordained it, He willed it - here it comes, listen carefully - because He had a purpose for it; He had a purpose for it - a purpose. This is critical: He had a purpose for evil. What is that purpose that God had for evil? Before I answer that question - and that’s the fourth in our little outline - let me read the Westminster Confession from the 1700s; some great theologians and biblical scholars put this together. Listen carefully: “God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass:“ Yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin, nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures; nor is the liberty or contingency of second-hand causes taken away ... sinfulness proceeds not only from the creature; proceeds only from the creature and not from God, who, being most holy and righteous, neither ... can be the author and approver of sin.” But then, says the Westminster Confession, all that God decrees and all that God providentially brings to pass is all to the praise of His glory - and they got it right.The reason for God ordaining evil is for the praise of His glory. Let me ask you a simple question to help you answer the question - the bigger question: is God more glorious because of sin existing or less glorious? Pretty easy question to answer, isn’t it? That really is the ultimate question. Throughout all the eons of eternity, will God receive more glory from His creatures because sin existed or less? And, friends, that’s really all that matters, is the eternal glory of God. So, it’s fourth down, and we’re on the ten-yard line, and I’m pulling out the winning play and we’re going for six for the victory. Turn to Romans 3 - and I want you to track with me a little bit; can’t take time to develop all of this, but I’m going to give you a good start. Wish I could build context; we don’t have time. But let’s look at chapter 3 and verse 5. Opening statement: “But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say?” Grab that phrase: our right - unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God. And Paul uses the first of a series of verbs; this one happens to be sunistēmi, translated demonstrates in the New American Standard. It is a verb that means to disclose, to reveal, to put on display, to show. Our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God. Another way to say that would be, would you really understand the righteousness of God if you didn’t understand unrighteousness? Isn’t there something to be gained by the contrast? Paul has been showing that God is faithful to His promises to Israel, and their sin and unbelief cannot alter God’s covenant, cannot alter God’s faithfulness.
