    God Must Not Be Good Because He Created Evil

    Contributed by John Fruner on Aug 13, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,303 views

    God is not the author of evil and suffering in the world. Evil and suffering are consequences of our actions. Original Sin.

    “God must not be good because He created evil.” There is no question that our world is filled with evil and suffering. We come into contact with it every day of our lives and are forced to deal with it on an emotional, intellectual and practical level. How can we believe that God is both good ...read more

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 1, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,235 views

    In a moment, Paul was transformed, where the confronter became the confronted. The hunter became the hunted. The accuser was now the accused. And while he thought he had the authority, in that moment he found himself powerless when he heard the true voice of authority.

    A Journey Towards Transformation?“The Damascus Road” Acts 9:1-19 Thinking about this whole idea that we’ll be exploring in our Easter message, “God Will Make a Way,” the concept of the various roads that both Jesus and His disciples took up to and following His resurrection came to mind.

    Who Is The Antichrist? Paul, And Conclusions (Final In Series) Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on May 25, 2015
     | 4,764 views

    The apostle Paul's comments about the coming man of sin jive perfectly with Daniel's, Jesus', and John's. One would expect this in a Book that proclaims itself to be the Word of God. One author in Heaven speaking His truths through many authors on earth.

    7. PAUL: II THESSALONIANS 2 Did Paul ever deal with the question of the antichrist? Most assuredly. And as one might expect, this passage, II Thessalonians 2, has been abused quite a bit through the years. Let’s look at the first 12 verses. In the first place, Paul meant in no way to ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 1, 2025
    based on 4 ratings

    What a person believes about God is the most important thing contained in their mind. It affects everything about them. Specifically, what they believe about God shapes them spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

    Part 2 Eternal Life Throughout the Bible, Christians are promised eternal life. None of the verses indicate that one can lose the eternal life that God promises (Matthew 19:29; Mark 10:29-30; Luke 18:29-30; John 3:16,36; 5:24; 6:39-40; John 17:2-3; Acts 13:47-48; Romans 5:20-21; 6:23; 2 ...read more

    What a person believes about God is the most important thing contained in their mind. It affects everything about them. Specifically, what they believe about God shapes them spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

    Far too many people feel God is remote, impersonal, and unknowable. Because of that, many Christians suffer from an inability to feel forgiven and live with nagging doubts and fears about their relationship with Him. Failure to love and trust God often comes from picturing God as unlovable and ...read more

    Gods Purpose Of Grace: Election And Eternal Security Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Dec 14, 2022
     | 2,604 views

    Election is God’s purpose and initiative in man’s salvation. God is the one who acts. God’s initiative is there in revelation of His Word and in redemption. We balance election with human freedom.

    There is the funny story that a man died and went to heaven only to find out that heaven was divided into two groups. There was the predestination group whose main emphasis was God chose me. Then there was the free will group that emphasized their choice in coming to God. When he realized he ...read more
