If God Is Good, Why Does Evil Exist?

In this episode, Bryan, Bo and KD explore the question that skeptics and scoffers love to use to stump Christians: If God is good, why does evil exist? At first blush this paradox seems impossible to answer. But take a second look at the Bible and you’ll not just make sense of this difficult question, you’ll find an answer that can change your eternity.

Takeaways:

  • Mormonism and Christianity have different understandings of God, Satan, and the nature of evil.
  • Evil is not just external, but also resides within each person.
  • Evil exists because people exist. Sin is what broke the world, and God is being patient with people to give them a chance to repent.
