The Problem of Evil, Part One

Summary

Elder Chris McCool addresses the problem of evil, a common atheist objection to God's existence, from a biblical perspective. He distinguishes between moral evil (sin) and natural evil (calamities), emphasizing that God created the world as "very good" without evil. The sermon highlights God's sovereignty and clarifies that while God may use natural disasters for His purposes, He did not create sin. The message encourages believers to understand God's relationship to evil through scripture rather than philosophy.
