John Piper - Why is there evil and suffering in the world

[WTFnerding]

Not sure if trolling or just stupid

[8GenesitH8]

He threatens with the unpleasantness of hell but allows sinners around the world to roam free and continue with their wrongdoing. He allows other religions so that people from other cultures believe in other idols. He sets the perfect ground for sin, and whips us with disasters to mock his beloved creations. I cannot accept this man's explanation at all.

@8GenesitH8 yeah your right.. a baby with no eyes.. thats clearly bullshit, theres no way a lovin god would do that.. even we wouldnt do that and were not all lovin

[8GenesitH8]

And after doing so, he leaves their children for generations and generations of pain and suffering so they would not sin. Judging by countless murders, rapes, kidnapping and other immoral deeds, it obviously did not work that well. He is God. He has the ability to stop humans from having evil thoughts. Why are we forced to be taunted by God? He has made our flaw, and is torturing us and keeps us in agony to punish that flaw.

[8GenesitH8]

Excuse me, just a question at this. This man is claiming that God is allowing terrifying events to destroy lives, Christian or non-Christian so that we know evil exists. By making evil things happen to someone, he's trying to make that person to not commit evil. I find it rather strange that God doesn't just stop evil. He made Adam and Eve, he is omniscient, and therefore he should have known that they would sin. But he made them anyway, and let them sin, although he could stop them anyway.

praise God for men like John Piper who are man enough to stand up and really preach the gospel.
