Discipleship Class 2007 -- Assignment#2

Dear Discipleship Class,

Here are this weeks questions for thoughtful response:

On Thursday we talked about the 2 underlying themes relating to the Kingdom of God, which are:

1)The Sovereignty of God
&
2) The Problem/Mystery of Evil

A. Explain what the two terms mean.

B. Talk about how you would answer this pre-Christians objection:

"How can you believe in a God who would allow so much evil happen in the world? You Christians talk about a God of love, where is this God of love in Africa, as thousands die of HIV/AIDS every day?"

Thanks for your thoughtful responses!!
