Which worldview can answer the following questions? The Christian worldview can!

Learn how, when you join Dr. Clay Jones in the course.

  • Why do children and animals suffer?

  • What are the various problems of evil?

  • Why do bad things happen to good people?

  • How could eternal punishment be fair? 

  • Why do we suffer for Adam’s sin?

  • What is the destiny of the unevangelized?

  • WHY FREE WILL?

    God grants us free will so that we can choose to love, or… not. For some, the high price of evil outweighs the benefits of free will.

  • WHY SUFFER?

    If heaven is nothing but fun, easy, breazy livin’ what purpose can there be in any suffering we experience here on earth?

  • ETERNAL PUNISHMENT?

    Hell. It’s an ugly place but most people, Christians included, have a pop-culture view of Hell, not a biblical one.

  • WHY ADAM'S SIN?

    If you’re a good person, nothing bad should happen to you, right?

  • THE UNEVANGELIZED?

    Those who have never heard the good news of the gospel. Will they go to hell simply for not knowing?

  • ETERNAL WHAT?

    Eternity, a scary word for humans who are bound within the safe confines of time where everything is marked by small manageable chapters.
