Why Would God Create a World with So Much Evil? | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "My only question is this, and no one has been able to answer it so far. If God knew there would be murderers and people tortured and blown up and raped, etc., why would he create this world even if it’s only temporary? I can’t believe that God would allow that kind of suffering to exist, knowing beforehand it would. You may say it’s free will and we chose it. That well may be true, but he’s omniscient and knew that murderers and torture would exist. Why would you even create that kind of world? What’s the purpose? Not for his own pleasure or glory. He doesn’t need that. He doesn’t need your praise and worship. I understand this world is just a blink of an eye, and our redemption and heaven await us. But think about it, why would any omniscient god create any chance of evil in his world? I understand he wanted free will for us to choose him and love him, not like robots. I get it, but if he knew there was a chance of murderers, torture, and children starving to death and diseases, even though it’s a small blink of an eye compared to eternity, it’s still horrible for us here on earth while we exist. I can’t get over the fact that he would ever even consider that kind of world to create. Please help me understand."

Should Christians Report Abuse Even If Forgiveness Is Given? | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode, Dr. Betters, in response to "Will I Know My Abuser in Heaven?", answers the question, "I feel that abusers get away with their actions both on Earth and in Heaven. As a Christian, I know I need to forgive my abuser, but where is the justice for those of us left scarred by the abuse? I believe not all sins are equal. Christians should speak up and report abuse—spiritual forgiveness doesn’t eliminate legal consequences."

Is My Son Truly Saved? Looking Into the Soul | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "…At 42, my son has embraced science, UFO, and other such worldly answers while searching for something to believe in. He vacillates between the two. After listening to him and showing him the fallacy of his judgment, I asked him clearly, "Whom do you choose?" After evading and modifying the question, I return to the question, "Whom do you choose this day?" I asked my pastor (when my son was in his teens), "As much as anyone can look into the soul of another, do you believe my son is saved?" His answer was "yes." Help me settle my heart for my son."

Admission Compared to the Rewards in Heaven?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I have been studying Heaven and trying to understand admission versus the rewards in Heaven. A preacher/teacher explained that Heaven is like going to a football game. Our ticket - Jesus gets us inside the stadium. Our life - deeds - our fruit determines where we sit. On the 50-yard line or in the nosebleed section in the end zone. Is this simple analogy valid? Thanks for all you do."
