The Problem of Evil

The question someone might ask goes something like this: "If God is good, and all-powerful, and everywhere, then how does evil exist in the world?" Or, they might ask this: "Why doesn't God just remove all the evil?" In classic theology, this question is known as The Problem of Evil. Whether you are talking to an atheist, a skeptic, or someone who is simply trying to figure out the answer, you will want to be equipped to answer this question. Drawing wisdom from several Scriptures - Genesis 3, Romans 8, Revelation 21, and Deuteronomy 32 - you will be glad to know the Bible answers this question!
