Kirk Cameron Quotes

Whenever there is a catastrophe, some religious people inevitably ask, 'Why didn't God do something? Where was God when all those people died?'

Almost every time I am in a lectureship on a college campus, young people will say, If there is a God and if he is a loving and merciful God, how do you explain the problems of suffering and death and all the tragedies that happen to people?

The Why's of suffering keep us shrouded in a seemingly bottomless void of abstraction where God is reduced to a finite ethical agent, a limited psychological personality, whose purposes measure on the same scale as ours.

I do not believe that God tortures any person simply for its own sake. I believe that God enables all things to work for the greater good.

Therefore, if God existed, only in one way could he serve human liberty - by ceasing to exist.

Some people turn from God because they cannot understand how a good God can permit evil in the world.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

I took two or three months and I came up with a reason that I thought was enough and I went with it: if there is a God he's definitely not benevolent. We should mean less to him than ants. And if there is a God or there are gods they would value, more than anything, free will.

When you believe in God, you've got to believe in the all-powerful God. He's not just God, He's the all-powerful God and He has total control over everyone's life. The Devil, on the other hand, is a real character that's trying his hardest to tear your life apart.

The problem of evil... Why does God permit it? Or, if God is omnipotent, in which case permission and creation are the same, why did God create it?

God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.

I believe God gives people the right to say no, to resist, to refuse, to reject, to cling to their sins, to cling to their version of their story.

An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.

How do you live with evil? Art is traditionally - certainly with my secular background - the answer, but art is very self-referential, whereas religion claims to go beyond the bounds of human existence.

If I had to imagine omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent power in the universe that chose to make my mother suffer, I don't know how I would make that make sense in the universe.

I do not believe that God has imposed suffering upon anyone to punish them or to teach them a lesson.

It is very difficult to give a 15 second sound bite on why there is pain and suffering in this world and not have it come off as being flippant or surface level or superficial.

If 'everything happens for a reason,' then every act of evil is ultimately God's doing.

God never does anything wrong. He knows what is best for me. No man can understand God, or know why He deals with us as He does.

Evil and good are God's right hand and left.
