Goodness no!




Hitler and the Holocaust bring to mind the problem of evil. If God is good and all-powerful why then is there evil in the world, here’s mark Spence. If God is good and all-powerful why is there evil in the world skeptics like to use the existence of evil as an argument against God. If God was good wouldn’t He want to deal with evil, if He was powerful couldn’t He end the evil in the world? But evil still exists so therefore your God doesn’t, is the claim of the skeptic. Is God powerful enough to remove all the evil in the world, well sure but he would need to wipe out all of humanity in order to do so. You see man is not in darkness as much as he himself is darkness, we look at things like murder and rape as being evil and they are, but what about lying, stealing, and covetousness. You see all sin is evil in the eyes of a holy God. The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart. The heart is deceitfully and desperately wicked above all things. Are you concerned about the problem with evil? Well guess what you’re part of the problem your hand is on the smoking gun and evil deeds can never be isolated from the evildoer, so if sinners are evil why hasn’t God killed us all? Well second Peter 3 tells us the Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some count slackness but is long-suffering toward us not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. God has not yet cleanse the world of evil simply because He’s giving people a chance to repent. Have you done that yet. If God were to show up at 12 o’clock to get rid of all the evil in the world where would you be at 12:01?
