So, why does God permit cancer? If God is so good, why is there so much disease, sickness, and pain in the world? If God is such a great designer, why is there so much cancer?

One of the most difficult aspects of understanding God and the problem of evil is the amount of evil there is in the world.

The Bible is the only holy book that unambiguously states that God existed before the beginning of time, and that time itself even has a beginning.

Scripture also defines God in ways that defy explanation in terms of… Read More »
