Why Does God Allow Evil?
If God is all-powerful, He can stop evil.
If God is all-good, wouldn’t He want to stop evil?
Evil exists.
Thus an all-powerful and all-good God must not exist.
This debate has existed for centuries. If we are honest, it is a really important one. If God really is not good, we need to know this.
So, is it true? Does the presence of evil in the world preclude the existence of the kind and loving God described in the Bible?
Dr. Sean Mcdowell answers this question in brief.
