Vocal Point-Thomas Ackerman

Topic: The Problem of Pain.

When the Pilgrims first came here in 1620, that very first winter was so brutal that half their number died. These were choice servants of God. Why does God allow evil and suffering? The Bible says God is good and He is all powerful. And yet we know evil is in the world. Why does God allow that? There is a whole book in the Bible on this subject, the book of Job. Thomas Ackerman has been involved in Gospel ministry for years. He recently wrote a book on the problem of pain. The book’s title is simply Pain. Ackerman writes: “Pain is heavily theological and personal at once. Its doctrinal perspective affirms God’s sovereignty over all things, and respects that His kingdom will rule over all the earth.” Thomas Ackerman joins Jerry Newcombe to discuss the problem of pain.
