Why Does God Allow Suffering?

beyondtoday Aaron Booth
If there is a God who made the world and is He good, why is there so much pain and suffering? If He is loving and merciful why does He allow such horrible events as hurricanes, earthquakes, and famine? If God made His creation good, why hasn't it stayed good? If the Creator possesses absolute power and hates evil, why does He permit evil people to hurt others? We're going to wrestle with answers to these questions on Beyond Today.
