Why would a loving god allow suffering-if one even exists? And why do bad things happen, if that god is perfect? Atheists say evil proves that no god exists. Shawn Boonstra investigates an ancient problem.

About Authentic:
Host Shawn Boonstra makes it easy to understand how philosophy and biblical principles can help you live an authentic life in the 21st century.
We talk about real existential questions-stuff that everybody wonders about: the meaning of life, purposeful living, the nature of human existence, the thoughts of great philosophers and how those have impacted our culture and how we live-the nature of love, relationships, emotions, self-awareness . . . But most of all, we explore what it means to live an authentic human existence.
New episodes on Saturdays. Watch on KZfaq and a growing list of North American TV networks and stations.

Oh how I wish transcripts were available for your programs. Am going to need watching this 9 or 10 times to get all the nuggets out of it. And how did I miss knowing about Gottfried & his ideas?...need to put a few lines in my copy of the gc! Since the 3 or 4th read-thru, I've been adding dates & more names of people God has used to magnify His name. (Just thrilling to see a timeline spread out.)

Hi Kate-If you navigate to the three-dot (...) button at the far right beneath the video player, you'll be able to select the option to "Open transcript." God bless.

The reason I know YAHUAH exists is because of suffering. There is a flawed question out there that goes, 'Why do bad thing happen to good people?' The flawed logic is, 'There is NONE good, no not one. Watch the following KZfaq video's and tell me how many good Saturday Adventist's there are? Watch KZfaq video's, 'The Great Cover Up By the SDA Church - Lunar Sabbath' and 'The Moon Regulates the Weekly Sabbath - Lunar Sabbath' and 'Why was the Hebrew Calendar FIXED by Hillel II? - Lunar Sabbath' and 'The Revolution of the Jewish Calendar: The Math & the Psychology - Rabbi YY Jacobson'.

Why not ask for healing instead of money??? Do you even know or love Jesus, have you ever read the Bible? Do you pray only when you want something from God? ..did you get baptized like Jesus said to do??

Because god is not real, it's an imaginary literally character. So of course it doesn't make sense.

I have personally beheld the power of Jesus name! Demonic forces must leave! God is Very Real and not imaginary. Thank You Jesus! All Praise to the King! Quite often He may seem distant or unreal but that is from our lacking a relationship with Him. This hurt and pain will not last forever!

How sad, God gave you a free gift, His son Jesus, all you have to do is ask Jesus into your life and save you from hell..that's all, but no you won't take this beautiful gift, you don't have to do anything, it's FREE..Jesus is the only way out of this evil world and its going to get worse..

@@joanjarrette8691 Why do you call it a "gift"? A gift is something voluntarily transferred by one entity to another entity "without compensation". But in order to receive this so called "gift" you have to agree(the compensation part which means this is not a gift) to become his slave, worship & praise him and love him. So the more accurate word is god gives us a "THREAT". A threat is a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done. So to be correct here is "GOD GIVES US A THREAT". Either become his slave to him to worship & praise him(this is the something done or not done part), or he will throw you into a furnace(the throwing you into a furnace is the retribution part). So now that you know please stop saying God gives us a gift, it's a THREAT. A loving God wouldn't threaten people to love him, let alone worship him.

@@joanjarrette8691 I agree the world is going to get worse. We ignore the facts of global warming caused by man made green house gases that science has been predicting since the 1980's. It is going to get far worse for our children and grand children. We can still do something about it, but nope, you just pray to one of the 1,000s of gods man has claimed to exist over the millenniums, none of which have even one piece of empirical evidence any of these exist.

@@msyverson7936 Why should I believe your personal testimony. I mean Muslims have personal testimony for Allah, Hindu's have personal testimony for their gods. I mean you can't all be right. Only one of you could actually be correct in their belief and the other 2 would be false, or of course all 3 of you could be wrong. The most likely thing is you are so biased in your belief that you imagined you beheld the power of Jesus name! Demonic forces must leave! People do have great imaginations and we are best at fooling ourselves. In other words personal testimony is not a good reason to believe someone. Now if anyone wants a relationship with me the best way to start would be to show me they actually exist. But the only place I see these gods existing is in peoples minds and not in reality. It is funny(Ironic) to me that you don't believe Muhammad flew to the moon on a winged horse because there is zero demonstrable evidence this ever happened, yet you believe the most important thing to ever happen for mankind was Jesus resurrecting without any eyewitnesses to this. All we have are oral stories passed down for decades before they were ever written down. I mean if this was truly a special event we should have seen the heavens opening up with angles sounding their trumpets in rejoice. Instead we have a story of a man who rose after a day and a half of being dead(Christians try to say this was 3 days, but it is in fact a day and half) and no one even bothered to write it down. I mean he didn't even go to the temples to show his people of his return, which would have been proof he rose from the dead. I am sorry, but it is far more likely that these stories grew overtime and this is nothing new, we know how legends are formed based on a real human character and then exaggerated overtime. We also can see if any of the other events happened according to the gospels when Jesus died. The gospels say, 1. A great earth quake happened - yet no written records of an earth quake taken place during this time except decades later in the gospels. 2. The dead rose from their graves, walked around meeting with the living in Jerusalem - yet no written records of this taken place either except decades later in the gospels. 3. The sun went dark (out) for 3 hours - yet no written records of this taken place either except decades later in the gospels. 4. The Jewish leaders would of course know who their savior was, but none even wrote one thing about Jesus during his life and death, let alone believe he was the savior. 5. What we do know is Pontius Pilate would never act the way as describe in the gospels. He hated the Jews and wouldn't care what they said. So knowing what Pilate was really like and you compare this to the gospels we can surmise this story is fake. 6. I could make a much longer list, but to end here, Jesus wasn't a sacrifice. According to the gospels he was found guilty of a crime(calling himself a king/a god) and the penalty was death. That is not a sacrifice but is criminal execution. According to scripture a sacrifice has to be done on an alter and the blood sprinkled from the sacrifice(there are many other rules Jewish have for a proper sacrifice- but none of them include a criminal execution). You would think if Jesus wanted a relationship with us he would have given us at least one piece of good evidence(empirical, demonstrable) he actually exists.
