"I Still Believe" and the Problem of Evil.
This was quite a good bio of Christian music star Jeremy Camp and his first love.
It also addresses the issue that has bugged me since February 25, 1976. Why do bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad? My take is that since God can see infinitely into the past and future as well as across the universe who are we to try to understand God's plans? We just try to do the best with what God hands us. |

I don’t ever think about a plan , there’s good luck, bad luck and nothing more

It goes back to the beginning...remember the serpent talked the woman into eating the fruit. That brought what Christians called The Fall. It introduced sin into the world. THIS whole conversation is too complicated to talk over in a social media site however. Are you a reader? If so there are many good books written by folks who explain it well. Ravi Zacarious (sp) comes to mind. He just passed away in the past week but has some books. Another might be Lee Strobel...his book The Case For Faith might be a good one for you to look at. It's written simply and it's not thick like a textbook. Hope that helps!

Why Evil Exists
Some of these Great Courses are very good with conversations about the major questions in Philosophy. |

Well according to scripture there is no one who does good, no not one and we all like sheep have gone astray. We are all sinners. Things happen to good and bad. Our world is sinful. We all eventually will suffer and die. But know this if you are in Jesus Christ, even though it may feel like it, God has and will never abandon you. Nothing can separate you from God not even death. So if you are in Jesus and believe in Him and all the work He has done you will live eternally with Him in heaven. These momentary afflictions that we suffer can not compare to the glory that God has in store for us.

Well said. And I try to keep in mind that we can only define "good" and "bad" in our terms. What we think is good or bad in the moment often doesn't seem that way later.

I prefer to think that in terms of ripe and unripe vs. good and evil. I cannot believe that anyone, no matter how bad, is unsalvageable. And while love of money may be a contributing cause to many of the bad things that happen, selfishness is at the root of it all. Selfishness, jealousy, anger, envy are all emotions of unripe men & women. The Creator is all love.
