    You are preaching principles of God and love. Evil is of Satan but many love evils of
    world... Not being in Gods Word &prayer God is blamed rather than one giving in to temptation&satans power
    I appreciate yr teaching so much as the Spirit guides you into truth

    I grew up to believe, but the older I got the more I begin to see this world for what it really is. There's no loving God here.

      BibleTalk.tv this the problem Mike, I understand some of your points, but are you gonna let evil keep attacking you? Some stuff don’t make sense, why do minorities suffer the most?? Etc etc

      The "short" view of life says that this world is evil and full of suffering so there must be no God.
      The "long" view of history says that in the end God will judge everyone and reward those who have believed and persevered despite the evil in the world, and He will punish those who, for a little while, caused suffering in order to enrich themselves.
      The great promise of God, confirmed by the resurrection of Jesus, is that God will exercise perfect justice in the end so that those who have suffered unjustly or have suffered simply because we are human and subject to accidents, illness and death will resurrect to a new life where there is no suffering and death and the suffering of the past will be swallowed up in the newness of life, and those who were evil without repentance or were unbelieving will be separated from God.
      Christianity accepts the world as it is and understands why it is this way (man's sins) but because of Christ we have hope for a life beyond this one.

    Thank you for this powerful messege. I have been going through something these past two days and I was starting to get frustrated with the Lord. I have listened to this video during my trial and suffering and both days it has humbled me and brought me back to the feet of our Saviour. Lord bless you Pastor M. and thank you for your ministry and faithfulness to God.

    I still don’t understand, if he can do anything why would he make us, and send some of us to hell when he could just stop it? Did he think yeah, let me make some random people and if they don’t believe in me I’m going to send them to an eternity of hell. Please help me if you can

      The only way we could be conscious beings in the likeness of God is to be created with free will. This would present the possibility that we could use our free will to reject God and thus self destruct through sin. The fact that God chose to create us anyways means that doing so was the right thing to do (as opposed to not creating us or creating us with no free will). The final result is what we see in the world today. Some exercising their free will according to God's will and reaping the rewards while others rejecting to do this and suffering the consequences. In the end, we decide what happens to us for good or bad.

      God decides that. Our task is to seek and find Him, and the Bible is our guide in that endeavor.

    God is neither good nor evil; God is beyond good and evil. Both good and evil have come from God.

    Set aside some traditional beliefs you have if you want to understand why evil exists.
    Almost all Christians think that God is in control of everything that happens here on earth, but he isn't:
    1 John 5:19: ...the whole world is under the control of the EVIL ONE.
    God gave authority in the earth to Adam. Adam gave it to Satan, Jesus got it back and gave it to man again. God is on the outside looking in. God can't do anything on the earth unless he has a man's authority to work through. Why do you think he had to send Jesus, a MAN? If he could just do anything, which he can't, why didn't he just flip his finger and solve the sin problem without sending Jesus?
    And almost all Christians believe that everything that happens to them is God's will. Does God's will always happen on the Earth? No. God doesn't want people to perish and go to hell, but it's happening against his will:
    2 Peter 3:8-10: The Lord is ... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
    Even Jesus said, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." That shows you that God's will is being performed in heaven but not completely on the earth yet.
    Just think logical, in John 10:10 Jesus said the 'thief' comes to Kill, Steal, and Destroy But I have come to give you Life To The Full! Does "life to the full" sound like the evil of child abuse, rape, murder, kidnapping, cancer, etc.? No way!!! Jesus wants the BEST for us, "Life To The Full!!!"
    There is a "Doctrine of Demons" and it teaches that God is in control of everything, meaning sickness, disease, and accidents as well. But we can see from the above scriptures that this is not true. Evil exists because God gave authority of this earth to Adam, who, in turn, gave it to the evil one. We, mankind, ultimately, and thanks to Jesus, ended up with that authority. But we still have Satan and demons as enemies that we have to use it against. Most Christians don't even know that they have this authority.
    Satan, demons, man's free will, and physics are causing the pain and suffering! Jesus gave us the authority to be kings and conquerors here on earth, we are to use that authority against evil instead of sitting back and blaming God for these misfortunes.
    Some people are so confused that they think that these misfortunes are BLESSINGS from God to humble us or teach us something. Wow, that's a totally unbiblical view of God's character. How is that 35 year old man that died of cancer going to put into practice whatever it was that God was, supposedly, teaching him?
    If you really want it laid out clear, see the book, "When Healing Prayers Aren't Working - Spiritual Warfare for Real."

      Obviously some topics require more than one 30 minute lesson to explain, and the problem of suffering is surely one of these. I appreciate you laying out your thoughts on the subject but cannot agree with your main premise, that some things are out of God’s control (Pr. 16:9;19:21; John 19:10-11).
      I think the issue is better understood when we recognize the various ways that God expresses His will.
      For example, there is His positive active will where He provides good things as blessings. There is also His positive passive will where He permits good things to happen based on man’s decision (ie. a couple decide to have a baby and God’s positive passive will permits this). There is also the flip side of this phenomena as well. God’s negative active will.. He sends punishment or destruction as judgement (ie. The Genesis flood; the plagues on Egypt). And finally, God’s negative passive will where He permits evil to exist and produce suffering either through natural causes (floods, tornadoes etc.) or as a result of human will (crime, wars, injustice etc.). The hope we have is that God’s Spirit helps us navigate safely through the good and bad of life without losing our faith, and that at judgement God will execute His perfect will in granting believers eternal life and due punishment to those that refused to believe and those who chose evil (2 Thessalonians 1:3-10).
