John MacArthur: Why Does God Allow So Much Suffering and Evil?

One of the most pressing challenges to Christianity is the problem of evil. Unbelievers are quick to ask how Christians can believe in the existence of a good God in the face of so much evil. In this session, Dr. John MacArthur will examine what Scripture teaches regarding evil and suffering and why it exists in the world.

    This preaching brought me tears and led me to repentance and surrender to God's sovereignty over the sudden death of my husband who was a pastor in January 17, 2022. Nothing had prepared me for it. I was angry at why God didn't heal him while in the ICU for 28 hours. I wasn't even able to say goodbye. I felt that my faith in His healing power was betrayed. I waited for 3 hours, after he was clinically declared by the doctors, in his bed for Jesus to bring back my husband's life. I got bitter when it didn't happen and I questioned His love and faithfulness. This preaching has rebuked me and I acknowledge God, in His sovereignty, allowing such death to happen. I don't know exactly on how to move on but I trust God to take care of me. Since my husband died, life as a widow became so difficult. Thank you for posting this sermon. This was 7 years ago but God is using this for me now.

    I love God, because I became 90% Paraplegic at home in Scotland 68 years ago, but God brought me three people who lent me their strength and taught me to walk at the age of 4 years in two full length callipers. My Mother whose work and patience gave me a fighting spirit, and our local Highland ministers Sister, who used the laying on of hands to give me the strength to win in that ability to walk. The Orthotic engineer who built me the power in steel and leather to stand up and all those who came after them to this day. Finally God gave me a wife who would not let me stop fighting to keep going. GOD BLESS THEM ALL.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE AS TOLD BY YESHAYA BEN JOSEPH(jesus), WHO STUDIED, PONDERED, MEDITATED UPON, AND ULTIMATELY COMMUNED WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD THAT EXISTS WITHIN HIMSELF, AS WELL AS EVERY LAST ONE OF US..... God is OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT, INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS(SPIRIT), not a personal god that gives or witholds, rewards or punishes! CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS/BUDDHA MIND/UNIVERSAL MIND is the CONSCIOUS ACTIVITY OF GOD in Our Affairs.....!! Therefore, "A True Christian.....A Christ One......is he who frees his soul from the consciousness of the body/mind and unites it with the Christ Intelligence(God) Pervading all Creation.. Jesus speaking AS Christ Consciousness told us this, but without Spiritual Discernment, the true message is seen through the eyes of the Illusory Human Intellect(SATAN/ERROR) that created God in his image through religious dogma and idol worship(worshipping jesus the human man)...(We can't serve two masters, we either serve the illusory sense of separation from Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness that causes dualistic the beliefs in good and evil, or we serve the only Power that Exists, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnidimensional, Infinite Consciousness) "I Have Overcome the World" -Christ Consciousness The above words Spiritually/Mystically/Truthfully Discerned would be as such: I Have Overcome the Illusory Sense of the Separate Self(the human mind and body of jesus) .... Jesus the human man was no different than any one of us, as he had gone through all the things we've gone through, but he learned Spiritual Discernment and Truth while learning about, pondering upon, meditating upon, and then communing with the One Infinite Source that is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness, or as he called it: The Father(The Kingdom of Heaven Within). This is the same for Moses, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Shankara and many other Spiritually Illumined Beings throughout the ages. They all RECOGNIZED It's the Activity of Truth in Our Consciousness that Performs Our Miracles, that Leads Our Lives.... So, until we stop relying on the illusory human state of mind(Satan) we can't leave the old and come into the new...that being Christ Consciousness(or Infinite/God Consciousness) Christ revealed that the ONLY TRAITOR in our midst is the illusory human nature(Satan). So we must learn to die every day to our reliance on the human mind, and listen in the one and only place where you may hear the Divine.....In Silence!(Meditation on the One and Only Power...Omnipresent, Infinite Spirit, or God) The word of the father is in the kingdom of God(Inner Spirit), not in the illusory realm of Matter/Materialism. This means it isn't in a book or in a church..... Nothing of the illusory realm of matter is of God, as God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Consciousness, or SPIRIT ONLY!! "Of mine own self(illusory sense of self) I can do nothing. It is the Father(Omnipresent Consciousness) that doeth the work". Nothing of this illusory realm of existence matters to God, as God only knows that of itself, and illusion and mesmerism are not of God, so no, God Consciousness doesn't know us as an illusory human being even exists, so our car payments, illnesses, troubles, failures and woes do not matter at all. There's no greater horror than to leave one's mind to the dualistic, carnal nature of this illusory world. When Christ Consciousness through Jesus spoke of SATAN, he was speaking of the Human Carnal Mind, and it's world of mental illusions and mesmeric beliefs. It's illnesses, cares, worries, lies, beliefs, and so on.... We must let the Splendor of God Consciousness to Pour Forth and Live It as Jesus did once he Recognized the Truth that the Father/God is Omnipresent, Infinite Consciousness!! The presence of God Consciousness in me is the presence of God Consciousness in you.... The recognition of God in us helps us to ultimately recognize the same in all things. And the recognition of God in my enemy ultimately makes my enemy my ally.... The function of Christ Consciousness that Unfolded from the Consciousness of Yeshaya(jesus) is to relieve us of the belief of Two powers(good and evil), and to recognize that Life is not created, Life unfolds. This means that God is always the same. The same yesterday as today and tomorrow.....God Unfolds, God Does Not Create!! Perfection needs to create nothing!! There isn't God AND Man.....There is Only God AS Man. Because of this dualistic belief we pray the way we do, i.e. asking for things, healings, etc. With the realization we are God experiencing awareness AS each and every one of us, we will come to understand that there is nothing or nobody to ask anything of or for. "The Kingdom of God is spread out all over the world, men just don't see it...." Supply, Sufficiency, Health, Love, all things of God are right where we stand. Our prayers should only be the recognition that we embody these truths. Asking God for anything, regardless of what it is, is sitting directly in the middle of the Two Powers of the illusory mind of man. So we must sit in silence listening for the still small voice of God to make itself known, and then we must free it from its prison of our human beliefs in order for it to escape and be Christ AS Each One of us!! Psalm 23....The Prayer of IS, to the mind with Spiritual Discernment(the only way to understand the Bible) says....(I DONT HAVE TO ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING, BECAUSE HE/I IS ALL. I NEED NOT BEG AND PLEAD FOR THE MERCY OR THE GRACE OF GOD BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WHERE I STAND). Acknowledge God in all ways. Acknowledge that God is ALWAYS HERE, whether I make my bed in hell(living in the illusory materialistic mind) or I dwell in Heaven(living as Christ Consciousness), God will never leave me nor forsake me.... God is manifest as the very life of our being....God Already IS, and our prayers should indicate this!! There's no pleading to God. Prayer should only be a declaration of God's Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Infinite Self.....! Our True Spiritual Self!! If we keep this in our thoughts at all times, this word of truth which is alive in each of us, it will externalize itself as our health, our supply, our home, our friends, our love for all others as ourselves, etc, etc....

To answer why he allow suffering? Because we are living together with the fallen angels such Satan. Satan confuses the people in many ways and that includes suffering, he allows it to display his Glory, Power and Sovereignty! If everything is perfect to you, would you need God? Health is perfect, you are rich etc etc just perfect! And with perfect world you don’t need God who is sovereign!

    Study History and some original scripture which is in Hebrew. Where is the Way, Truth and Life? Well in messiah and His true name is YAHUSHA the Ha Mashiach. Names don't change in Language. Spelling does because it's a different language, but pronouncing does not change. Research the origins of the name ''Jesus'' and see how it is ''Jee Zeus'' the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek as well as ''earth pig'' in Latin. Research what ''Lord'' means and ''God'' as well. Why in the KJV is there ''Name of the LORD'' all over the place when ''LORD'' is not a name? Why is there ''LORD'' in caps and ''lord'' in lowercase? Because KJ took His name out. Research that and Pray for understanding. Messiah walked the earth as a dark skinned Hebrew man ''Yahusha'' not a white man named Jesus. The Scriptures have been watered down much over the years by the enemy who is the god of this world, satan and he knows the Scriptures better than anyone except the Almighty YAHUAH Himself. Many books have been taken out as well. Salvation is in the blood of Yahusha who is YAHUAH in the flesh. YAHUAH is the Name of the Almighty and His Name is very important just as the Scripture speaks. Those few truly born again obey the Torah just as messiah spoke and are not in religion. Those two plus billion christians can't fully obey it because they are just in religion and not filled with the true Ruach (Spirit) of Elohiym Almighty. Christianity is Truth mixed with lies. Many are called and FEW are chosen. Fear and Obey YAHUAH the Almighty whose name is written in mankinds DNA and History and Original Text.

    Depression... is just a choice. YOU ‘choose life or death’, YOUR mind must be renewed (Rom12:2, 2Cor10:4,5, 11:3). God 'limited' Himself, Ps78:41. About ‘sovereignty’, the worst religious doctrine⁉️ Often religion mixes the Old and the New Covenant (or, ‘Testament’) and encourages performance (change from the outside in!) instead of grace through faith, and has done much harm in history. But maybe the biggest heresy of religion, which is preached possibly in 99% of the churches, is the wrong concept of ‘sovereigty’. God (in the NT) is not the source of evil, sickness, tsunamies, drugsabuse, etc! He also does not “allow” this to “educate” you. LIES of hell! God is only good ✝️❤️ “I believe this is the worst doctrine that is working in the Body of Christ today” that completely negates the trust that 'God is a good God', Andrew Wommack. If you believe that God made you sick, why would you go to the doctor, to get rid of sickness, trying to get out of God’s will? Jesus said, ‘You hypocrites... you are if you think and do these things’, Mark 7. Well okay, don't try medicine; let sickness abound in you! God 'gave it to you' (?), teach you a lesson'(?), 'God must have a purpose with my sickness(?). What a shame for God when you listen to the accuser, and think you have no responsibility now.

    I, too, want to go home to the arms of Jesus. After decades of trauma, I feel many times that I am just done with this world. But then, we have to persevere, for the sake of the glory of God. It isn't fun, but God is with us every day we choose to put one foot in front of the other in spite of the emotional pain we feel. By this, we proclaim our faith until He returns or calls us home. You are not alone, dear sister. We can pray for each other for the strength to carry on. Friend me on fb at facebook.com/diane.perrin.98. Or email at dianeperrin02@gmail.com. Hang in there!

    Two nights ago I dreamed of a black sky, no stars, no light. A small box shape, also black, began to be lifted from the other side. It was opened maybe one third of the way, I saw a hand pulling it back and a face began to appear telling me "I am Jesus, do not worry". I'm paraphrasing because words weren't said aloud, just inside my mind. The small part I could see including a partial glimpse of Jesus's face was bright and shining. That's all I remember. I felt calm when I woke up. Tonight this video appeared on my tv screen as KZread did it's thing and played video after video. Thank you, but most of all, Thank God....

    At least two reasons. 1) God gives free will. If you make a decision, you live with the consequences. Good decisions, good results, bad decisions, bad consequences. 2) For believers, God uses testing for believers to achieve spiritual growth. A Christian's life is NOT expected to be a bed of roses. God wants believers to be more Christlike in their everyday life. He periodically gives tests and trials to believers in order for them to apply the lessons that they have learned.

    There is always the yin and yang to balance the power of forces of the Universe. But God created us to overcome evil if we are confronted with. We know from our own personal experiences that this is possible if we trust fully in God and remain faithful to Him and accept that ultimately He can help us. PTL. Men is driven by lust which is sin and death. This goes back to the creation of heaven and earth. When Finally God has to sacrifice His Son, Jesus, to save those want to return to God and praise Him always. Help me Lord to understand and place ourselves in Thy care. With our return to praise Thee, Evil will retreat to darkness and the depth of abbey so tha You God will control everything again. T Q the Eternal Lord and God and Spirit, You are totally in charge again. Amen.

    Reformed theology is cancer! There is a church that never needed reforming. Follow the trail of martyrs and you’ll find that Baptists have always been there and have always been separated from any denomination, rejected the RCC and papal heresy. If you accept any kind of Protestantism or reformation you are tying yourself to the Catholic Church, historically. There are denominations called Baptist but they are just using a name. I digress. Calvinist doctrine is wrong Armenian doctrine is wrong! Bible doctrine is right! Did you know that mcarthur defends his statement that Christ did not need to shed any blood to save humanity. This is contrary to the Bible. “ for there IS NO remission of sin without the shedding of blood” This man is a well spoken heretic.

    I really enjoyed and resonated with this teaching. I think one of mankind's desire to revise God is the wish to escape responsibility for our own actions, beliefs and behaviors. If God takes ownership for good and evil and we want to please him, we must do likewise. And this is where the cognitive dissonance begins.

Thank you ,Jesus, for my salvation" Let me get this straight a pandemic that killed more Christians in the US than say Muslims in the middle east is evidence that Jesus loves you? It is noticeable that science found ways to reduce the effects and save lives, while those Christian churches that carried on praying together died in large numbers. What you are saying is that you will ignore reality for the right to keep giving your money to the con man at the front of the church.

    Sorry but you have not found the truth . This man does not preach but a very watered down gospel message at best. Sadly that is very much a common message these days. Jesus provided so much more then this man declares in preaches. Jesus made healing very easy to receive when one understands the laws governing faith. Laws like gravity. Saved or not if you violate that law both will get the same result. If you are not seeking God with all your heart your most likely not going to find him. Their are only a few ministries I know of that really make available teaching that will correctly guide people to a full understanding of Gods word.
