Does God need our prayers to help Him stop evil? If He can defeat evil without us, why doesn't he? Today's guests appear to have some concrete direction on making sense of the "problem of evil." But they go in two different directions. Oord proposes that God simply lacks the power to stop bad things from happening and needs our partnership to minimize the effects of evil. Chip believes that an all-powerful God has willfully given humanity dominion over this world and suggests that people possess a God-given duty of using the "weapon of prayer" to unleash God's power in order to stop evil.
So, is God innately limited? Or is He self-limited? Both outlooks are a bit unnerving.
Maybe, let's just stick with good old-fashion mystery.
Thomas Oord appeared on episode 209 to discuss his book on Open Theology, "God Can't." Unique and intriguing territory is covered in this follow-up conversation, discussing his follow-up book, "Questions and Answers for God Can't."
