YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhy do innocent people suffer? Where was God during the Holocaust? And can faith survive in a world full of evil?
In this episode of Theological, host Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Michael Jones from @InspiringPhilosophy one of the most influential Christian apologists on YouTube — for a deep, honest, and at times challenging conversation on theodicy: the problem of evil and suffering.
From the Book of Job to the Holocaust, from Jeremiah to C.S. Lewis, Shabbos and Mike explore:
Why God would create a world with suffering at all
The Jewish and Christian responses to the Holocaust — "Where was God?" vs. "Where was man?"
The resurrection of the dead: who gets included?
Whether faith in God can logically survive personal tragedy
The "Law of Triumph" — how suffering can be transformed into instrumental good
Why Mike's entire Christian faith hinges on one historical event
When Jesus returns — and what Christians are supposed to do until then
This is one of the most ancient questions in human history, and two thoughtful believers from different traditions take it on together — with intellectual rigor, personal honesty, and genuine respect.
