Greg talks about Jesus’ reference to “the least of these” in Matthew 25, then he answers questions about whether all things are good or evil, implications of saying one shouldn’t do anything one thinks is wrong, and how we can make moral judgments about suffering if it’s all working for good.
0:00 Introduction
1:33 Who are the “least of these”?
33:00 Are all things good or evil?
40:24 If someone truly believes many good things are wrong, how would you counsel them to move forward in life?
48:39 If we say God has a reason to allow gratuitous (i.e., meaningless) suffering, then aren’t we saying he’s unable or uninterested in bringing about his good ends without the use of suffering, and how do we make moral distinctions about suffering if it’s all doing good?
