Why would a good God allow evil? I break down what evil really is from a biblical view—and why God permits it. . . . #Suffering #ProblemofEvil #Christianity #Faith #FrankTurek #ChristianTikTok #FYP

Frank starts off right—evil isn’t a “thing” God created. But then he shifts and starts calling it “cancer” and “rust,”... which are things. That contradicts his own point. And more importantly, he never actually answers the real question: where did evil come from in God’s plan? He says God only created the possibility of evil—but the question is about the reality of evil. So he avoids the ultimate level of the question. The biblically consistent answer is this: Evil came from God’s plan—not because God sinned, but because He wrote the Storyline of his creation where creatures would act in disobedience to His commands. Take Pharaoh as a clear example: God commanded Pharaoh to let His people go, then God hardened Pharaoh’s heart so he wouldn’t obey (Exodus 4:21; 7:3; 9:12). That disobedience was real, and Pharaoh was responsible—but it was also exactly what God planned. And this doesn’t make God a sinner or evil. Why? Because sin is breaking God’s commands. But there’s no higher law over God that says, “Thou shalt not harden Pharaoh’s heart.” God’s not under anyone’s rules. He’s the Author, not a character. He gives the commands—we don’t give them to Him. So where did evil come from in God’s plan? From His plan. He ordained disobedient actions to display His power, justice, and mercy (Romans 9:17, 22–23). And He remains perfectly holy while doing it. #Calvinism

You don't read the Bible do you? 🩸 I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create EVIL. I the Lord do all these things Isaiah 45:7 You people say that you read the Bible and believe it literally but you clearly don't. You're an idiot. #GonzoProphet❤️‍🔥

A perfect explanation from Paul White (not Paula)

Bible Studies of a variety of the more difficult and controversial Bible subjects like the Trinity, Once saved always saved, Sabbath, Grace and the Law, death, hell and the 8th Day, and many more.

Very enlightening!

Don't know why but I didn't realize this was you in so many clips I've seen before now, glad to finally connect your name to it!

Allow it ? He Authored it ( and all things ). That is NOT to say that God has ever sinned - No, but He will use even sin to accomplish His purpose, just as He did with Joseph, Pharoah, Judas, and even Satan himself.

God doesn't permit anything. God ordains all things.

You can't show us that your "god" is real, but you claim to know why this "god" allows evil? It's almost like this "god" of yours is nothing but a figment of your imagination. And a source of income.

Light doesn't create darkness. Darkness is the absence of light. God doesn't create evil. Evil is the absence of God's grace. And if we don't want God's grace, the evil will move in to take it's place since grace is no longer holding it back.
