Questions
Suffering and Evil
Why does a good God allow pain?
Christianity does not offer a tidy solution. It offers a fallen world awaiting renewal, a God who entered suffering himself, and a promised end to it.
Lament is treated as faithful speech, not weak faith. Job protests, the Psalms complain, and Jesus cries out from the cross.
Key verses
