And, in the end, the main thing is how we deal with evil when we encounter it. Surviving without becoming embittered in the process is a one tremendous accomplishment.Bill Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101525260347714309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703847687174045960.post-37166560738939576682010-01-11T04:24:43.477-05:002010-01-11T04:24:43.477-05:00Oh...yes....suffering is personal... the good thin...Oh...yes....suffering is personal... the good thing about it is...it can make us better or bitter.

So just like any all loving Father He has given us whats right and whats wrong in His Word (Bible)... and then leaves it up to us to make our choices. Are we going to be loving and kind,giving and unselfish OR the opposite. It's our choice. Hey...did you read what I wrote about the Barber who said there was no God? He argued that if there was a God there would not be all the evil and wickedness in the world...So he chose not to believe! <br />His customer didn't argue, after all, he couldn't think what to answer. He finished his cut and walked out of the shop. Outside he saw a man with an unkept dirty beard who needed a hair cut.. Turning around he re-entered the shop. He said to the Barber, "I don't believe in Barbers for if they were real there wouldn't be a man outside who needs a haircut and shave."<br />"What are you taking about," replied the Barber. "Its not my fault if he doesn't come to me!" <br />"Exactely," replied the Customer...."And its the same with God!." <br />Hey, do you feel like choking me!! LOL.... I love God so much, He has done so much for me, but we need to understand Him.<br /><br />Bless ya.....

In the essay, I mention that the problem concerns the presence of genuine evil in the world. If evil does not really exist or if it only appears to exist, then the question of God's goodness or power has no relevance. Why? Because if something only appears to be evil but isn't, or there's no such thing as evil, then nothing runs counter to God's goodness or power to alter the state of affairs. Only if evil is truly real, do we have to address the question of God's goodness and power.Bill Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101525260347714309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703847687174045960.post-78877802829622049812010-01-10T19:01:59.659-05:002010-01-10T19:01:59.659-05:00Yup.

I'd read a commentary on psychiatry and the problem of evil the other day and it seemed like a good idea to raise the issue.Bill Conwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101525260347714309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703847687174045960.post-77263134002103759262010-01-10T18:42:30.554-05:002010-01-10T18:42:30.554-05:00Theodicy.Theodicy.EHChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257031379237071891noreply@blogger.com
