I am pleased to welcome back Thomas Jay Oord to the podcast. His new book 'Questions & Answers for God Can't' answers many questions that naturally follow from the ideas he presented in his previous work 'God Can't' In his best-selling book, God Can't: How to Believe in God and Love After Tragedy, Abuse, and Other Evils, Thomas Jay Oord solves the problem of suffering. Oord offers five aspects of a real answer to why a loving God doesn't prevent pointless pain. The most helpful: God can't stop evil singlehandedly. In this follow-up, Oord answers questions God Can't readers asked about his ground-breaking proposals. The answers are in this book, and they solve age-old conundrums. https://www.amazon.com/Questions-Answers-Cant-Thomas-Oord-ebook/dp/B087CBY4NW/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Previous episodes on this topic: http://www.exploringmormonthought.com/2019/01/069-god-cant-thomas-jay-oord.html http://www.exploringmormonthought.com/2019/03/ep74-conspiring-prayer-with-mark-karris.html Show Notes: http://www.exploringmormonthought.com/2020/08/ep97-questions-answers-for-god-cant.html
