Bob DeWaay: The Problem of Evil

Published

Returning for his third appearance on Echo Zoe Radio this month is Bob DeWaay, pastor of Twin City Fellowship church in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and author of Critical Issues Commentary. The topic of our discussion is “The Problem of Evil”, and is a follow up to the first episode of Echo Zoe Radio, when Bob and I discussed Open Theism. Our discussion is based on his article for CIC entitled “The Hebrew Lament and the Problem of Evil” (pdf also available.) We address the age-old question: If God is all-powerful, and He has a perfect sense of justice, why does He allow evil in the world?

In the course of discussion, Bob mentioned his current series for CIC Radio on the Book of Hebrews. That is also available at the CIC website.

Gary Gilley: Hearing from God?

A popular teaching in Evangelical Christianity says that God has a plan (or a will) for us in our individual lives. Some say the level of detail of that plan is limited to major decisions in life such as who to marry, what career to pursue, where to go to college, etc. Others believe that even the minor decisions are planned out by God, such as: what kind of tooth paste to buy, what route to take to work, or how to style your hair. However, most agree that we as Christians need to seek Gods will in that plan, and can hear God speak to us in this regard by way of inner promptings, subjective signs, having a peace about a decision, or other subjective means. Pastors DeWaay and Gilley disagree with this “Popular View” (as Pastor Gilley calls it). After holding a conference about the importance of the Reformation doctrine of Sola Scriptura, I had the privilege of sitting down with them to discuss the topic. We talked about where the view stems from, why they disagree with it, and what the scriptural arguments are for both sides of the view.
