Solving the Problem of Evil

-
Syllogism the Solves the Problem of Evil:  God is good and all-powerful. Evil seems to contradict this. Christ's death appeared to be the ultimate evil. His resurrection turned it into ultimate good. Evil has no real power in light of God’s love. Therefore, evil is an illusion, and Christ’s victory frees us from it. The problem of evil is one of the most profound and difficult challenges in philosophy and theology. Traditionally, it questions how an all-powerful, all-loving God could allow the existence of evil and suffering in the world. In the essay " Evil Does Not Exist and Why Our Belief in Evil is Killing Us ," I argues that the real issue lies not in evil itself but in the human belief in it. This belief not only distorts reality but also gives power to evil, when in fact, it has no true existence.

Evil Does Not Exist and Why Our Belief in Evil is Killing Us

This message was delivered for the first time by Zachary Travis Moore on October 16, 2024 at the  Freedom Hall Academy in Vernal Utah. Evil Does Not Exist and Why Our Belief in Evil is Killing Us Opening: Do you want the truth?

A Vision of a Moneyless Economy

Introduction: A Vision of a Moneyless Economy As an American millennial, I’ve experienced a unique position in history, one where the values of sacrifice and support have collided with a harsh economic reality. My father, a Baby Boomer, sacrificed much to ensure I had opportunities, even offering me the last of his investment funds—nearly $50,000 in 2005—to help me through college. His act was one of love and dedication, and I honor it deeply. Yet, as I navigate my life and the world we now live in, I recognize that this gesture also highlights a broader, more troubling story about generational wealth and the system that has upheld it. The Baby Boomer generation, now between the ages of 60 and 78, controls an astonishing 52% of the world’s wealth. In stark contrast, my generation—millennials—hold a mere 9%. Generation Z doesn’t even make it onto the wealth distribution chart. The numbers paint a grim picture, but they only scratch the surface of a deeper imbalance. As we confront these
