    1 The Foundation for Adventist Education Institute for Christian Teaching Education Department – General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists RELIGIOUS FAITHS AND THE PROBLEM OF EVIL: A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE Lael Caesar, Ph.D. Andrews University 4th Symposium on the Bible and Adventist Scholarship Riviera Maya, Estado Quintana Roo, Mexico March 16-22, 2008 2 RELIGIOUS FAITHS AND THE PROBLEM OF EVIL: A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE Lael Caesar Andrews University Introduction Beyond these introductory remarks, this paper, on the enigma of the existence of evil, proceeds in four stages. Stage One Stage one presents definitions of three terms—‘theodicy’, ‘pain’, and ‘suffering’. Needless to say, agreement on the meanings of these terms allows reader and writer to stand on common ground with regard to their use throughout the paper. Stage Two In stage two, following the definitions, and under the rubric of “Some Religious Perspectives on Pain and Suffering”, the paper reviews a number of faiths, ancient and modern, on their attitude to pain and/or suffering. The review serves to locate the paper’s subsequent arguments on suffering and evil within a global perspective. Stage Three Thereafter, discussion on suffering and evil reflects on a pair of ironies I find of considerable significance for Christian theodicy. Note that this paper offers no exhaustive answer on theodicy [as defined below]. Rather it proposes the sine qua non for beginning any biblically based Christian theodicy. Theodicies in general are doomed to fail to the extent that they give inadequate address to the question of evil’s origins. In Bart Ehrman’s opinion, humanity’s most important question concerns why we suffer.

    1 Doubting God's Goodness: Life in a Time of War Rich Nathan May 20

    Doubting God’s Goodness: Life in a Time of War Rich Nathan May 20, 2012 Apologetics: Doubting God Series Ephesians 6:10-12 I recently heard Dr. Greg Boyd, a pastor from Minneapolis, give the following illustration. I’m expanding on it with a huge degree of pastoral liberty. But the basic idea came from Dr. Greg Boyd. Imagine its June 5, 1944. You are living in France and have rented a beach house and you are planning to vacation with your family on the beach at a place called Normandy. You’ve been working hard all year and are looking forward to kicking back, relaxing, drinking good French wine, swimming in the surf with your children, and enjoying the beach for the next month. Well, to your surprise, that night, June 5, 1944, the sounds of planes flying overhead disturb your sleep. Paratroopers start dropping into your yard. And in the morning, before dawn, flotillas of landing craft land on just the spot you’ve planted your beach umbrella. You, of course, are very upset especially after one of the beach invaders breaks your favorite beach chair when he rolls over it with his tank. And then you have to contend with all the shooting and shells that are landing in your yard. You are in the backyard trying to get a little peace as you lie in your hammock. You finally lose your patience and start screaming at everyone, “Stop it! Stop it! I’m on vacation!” Dr. Boyd’s point was that the problem most Christians have and, indeed, most people have with all of the suffering and pain that exists in our world is that we basically believe that life should be like a vacation instead of like a war.

They discuss the nature of argument and worldview. Zacharia practically states that when there is no objective morality or Moral Law , we mess everything up because we are not able to grasp what is right or wrong without a God telling us what is right or wrong. Average rating 4. Paperback , pages. Shelves: philosophy , christian , apologetics. It falls flat for several reasons not least of which is Euthyphro's dilemma. Living Without God. You would do yourself and your friends a favor by reading this book and passing one on to them. He confidently refutes Harris's claims that God is nothing more than a figment of one's imagination and that Christians regularly practice intolerance and hatred around the globe. Why are we presented with the curious choice between either committing to peculiar concepts about immaterial deities or letting go entirely of a host of consoling, subtle and effective rituals and practices for which there is no equivalent in secular society? In much of the Muslim world, religion is the central foundation upon which family, community, morality, and identity are built. A Reasonable God. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. If you had infinite knowledge, then you would be the very god that you are saying does not exist.

    Glocal Conversations Vol 9 (1) May 2021 http://gc.uofn.edu A Cross Vision of G. Boyd’s Cross Vision Paul Miller Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper critiques Greg Boyd’s Cross Vision: How the Crucifixion of Jesus Makes Sense of Old Testament Violence. The paper commends Boyd’s recognition that the God of the Bible prefers to extend grace and life instead of judgment and death, but addresses Boyd’s woefully inadequate hermeneutic—a hermeneutic based on a radically minimized concept of “revelation.” The paper addresses three basic concerns with Boyd’s approach: first, how Boyd’s hermeneutic fatally undermines the very concept of “inspired revelation”; second, that Boyd’s hermeneutic of “Christ crucified” is accurate but woefully incomplete; and third, that Boyd’s hermeneutic in continually contradicting major biblical themes is fatally hostile to Scripture. Key Words: Greg Boyd, Cross Vision, biblical inspiration, inerrancy, hermeneutics, progressive revelation, atonement, penal substitution ******* No shrinking violet, Boyd’s Cross Vision: How the Crucifixion of Jesus Makes Sense of Old Testament Violence tackles what he calls “the elephant in the room”: that is, trumpeting confidently the “God of love” on the one hand while holding to God as portrayed in the Old Testament (OT) on the other. Boyd argues that the OT presents “some portraits of God … [that] are, quite frankly, really ugly! How else can you honestly describe a depiction of God, for example, ordering his people to mercilessly annihilate every member of the Midianites except for the virgin girls…?”1 And how does this OT picture harmonize with the New Testament Jesus, who came to self- sacrificially give his life for sinners rather than to take their lives? The answer, according to Boyd, is that it doesn’t.

    The Existence of God in an Age of Reason Page 1 of 6 © 2011 by Craig B

    Christian Apologetics Study Series: Lesson #2 (Student key) Additional Notes The Existence of God In an Age of Reason by Craig B. Esvelt, D.Min Introduction: North America, once considered Christian not only by itself but by other nations around the world, can no longer make that claim. So far "It is extremely dangerous in the presence have we moved from our Judeo-Christian moorings that in the 1960's a of God to discuss His existence." - Soren number of philosophers and liberal theologians popularized a "God is dead" Kierkegaard movement, the culmination of a spiritual repression which found impetus a century earlier in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, who provided atheism with a philosophical basis, and Charles Darwin, who offered a scientific rationale. Today atheism is implicitly taught throughout our public school systems because public education, in its attempt at being pluralistically "neutral" (an impossible task!), ignores God altogether. So God has become "dead" to most recent generations, not through atheistic propaganda but because of a perceived irrelevance to all academic disciplines--a vanishing character like the fading smile of Alice In Wonderland's Cheshire cat. Added to that has been a more aggressive and vindictive expression of atheism in recent years, in part, a backlash of the 911 terrorist attacks where religion in general and Christianity in particular were tarred along with religious extremism and held up as an oppressive threat to human welfare and social progress. How can a believer respond to such an assault on faith? The Human Dilemma Before proceeding further, it would be wise to note some biblical presuppositions that have a bearing on understanding why there is so much controversy over the issue of belief in God.
