Why Suffering Part 1

There are two ways to interpret the problem of suffering and the existence of evil: 1. The atheist skeptic who says there is no God, no purpose, no all powerful One- or 2. The Christian worldview which says there is a God, a purpose, and an all powerful One. Do we have a moral conscience? Does the question of evil indicate that we have moral reasoning unlike animals? Do we expect animals to have a moral conscience? How are we different ? Let’s discuss the trilemma of the skeptic: 1. God is all powerful 2. God us all loving 3. Evil and suffering exist as a reality. Is removing pain always the loving thing to do? Is it true that if you live someone, you will make their life totally free from pain? Does love mean, giving a person whatever they want? Let’s look at the assumptions behind these statements and clear up the questions.
