“If God exists, and He is good, then why is there evil in the world?” The so-called Problem of Evil is an important question that skeptics are asking, and it’s one that believers need to think carefully and biblically about.

After all, God, being all-powerful, all-knowing, perfectly loving, and perfectly good, should prevent any evil from occurring in His creation… right? Well, not so fast. As it turns out, the same Bible that tells us what God is like also gives us the resources for understanding why evil exists. We just need to know where to look.

That’s what Sye Ten Bruggencate and Joel Settecase discuss in this second episode of “Answer Anyone with Sye Ten Bruggencate.”

Specifically, you’ll find out…

  • Why the Problem of Evil is such a problem.

  • What some bad answers to the Problem of Evil are.

  • How to answer the problem of evil in a presuppositional way.

  • How apologist Greg Bahnsen answered the question, and why he was right on the money.

  • Why you can be assured that God really is exactly as the Bible describes Him, even in light of all the evil in the world.

  • How to trust God in the face of pain, hardship and very real evil.
