A Divine Love Theodicy: Addressing James Sterba’s and Erik Wielenberg’s Problem of Evil Arguments

2. Does God Exist?, Adam Lloyd Johnson, Apologetics, Christianity, ConvincingProof.org, Divine Love Theodicy, evidential, Gospel, Gratuitous Evil, Logical, Problem of Evil, Suffering
Abstract: James Sterba claims my Divine Love Theodicy does not address the working parts of his new logical problem of evil. In this paper I summarize Sterba’s new logical problem of evil, respond to it with an explanation of my Divine Love Theodicy, and point out how my theodicy does address the working parts of his logical problem of evil in that it satisfies the moral requirements he lays out. In addition, I will show that my Divine Love Theodicy also defeats Erik Wielenberg’s revised version of Sterba’s problem of evil argument which was published in 2022 in the journal Religions. Introduction James Sterba, Professor of Philosophy at Notre Dame, has made a tremendously strong claim. He has not claimed that ‘because there is horrendous suffering, it is difficult to believe God…

Why did God Create the Tree in the First Place?

Adam & Eve, Apologetics, Christianity, Genesis 3, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, MamaBearApologetics.com, original sin, Sin, Temptation, Theology and Christian Apologetics
A few weeks ago, our church’s 3rd-5th graders were learning about the creation story from Genesis, and I was brought in to the planning process to help address common science misconceptions that the kids will encounter as they get older. (i.e. “Science can disprove God,” “Natural processes alone can produce design,” or “Science uses facts, religion uses faith.”) After completing the unit, the kids were given the opportunity to submit questions about the creation story, so today I went back to answer them. Some questions were simple like, “Why did God create animals and not just people?” Other questions were more theologically gritty, and required longer explanations. One in particular was, “Why did God create the tree in the first place?” (Another student asked “Why couldn’t Adam and Eve eat the…

Who Lives Inside Your Brain? The Disturbing Psychology of Conspiracy Theories and Parasocial Relationships with Anna Kitko

Anna Kitko, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Conspiracy Theories, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, parasocial relationships, philosophy, Podcast, religion, spiritual abus, theology
Why are millions of people forming deep emotional attachments to celebrities, influencers, and online personalities they’ve never met? And why do some online figures inspire such fierce loyalty that followers will defend their claims, adopt their worldview, and trust their conclusions—often without any scrutiny or independent investigation? Frank sits down with spiritual abuse counselor and Ratio Christi leader, Anna Kitko, to investigate the hidden psychology behind parasocial relationships, conspiracy theories, and the digital voices competing for our trust. Together, they unpack how social media exploits our need for belonging and how seemingly harmless online habits can quietly shape the way we see reality. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why is Anna uniquely qualified to talk about this topic? What happens in the brain when we form emotional attachments to celebrities…
