The Nature of God and Problem of Evil

  • There is two types of evil and suffering, moral evil-caused by humans and natural evil- cannot be stopped. Although, if god is omnipotent and omni-benevolent why does he allow there to be suffering?
  • God gave Christians free will so why would he help us stop evil and suffering if it is caused by us in the first place. This could make God disappointed in us and make him want to give us a punishment. Shouldn't bad behaviour be the decider of going to heaven or hell, if so why is everybody else suffering?
  • Natural evil cannot be stopped by humans therefore if God is omnipotent, why does he allow us to suufer when he can stop it? How do we stop it, and why is his punishment so harsh?

Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. 

I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin `Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was burried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen

Christian Aid

  • Christian aid is the offical relief and development agency for 41 church denominations in Britain and Ireland.
  • Begun in 1945
  • Aims to encourage sustainable development, stop poverty and provide emergency relief in Africa, the Middle East, South America and Caribbean.
  • 'Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. Christian aid has a vision- an end to poverty-and we believe that vision can become a reality.'
