Epicurus' problem is a bad argument. He assumes that he knows all ends. What is "bad" for a limited person, may not necessarily be bad for someone who can see the whole picture.
What magnitude of "bad" is needed for the greater good of a person? Do people ever get more bad than is actually required for their greater good? Is there *ever* gratuitous suffering?

Step1: With TAG prove that the Orthodox God is needed to make epistemically justified claims Step2: Book of Job (God doesn't have to tell us why Evil exists) Step3: With Revelation and the life of Jesus Christ we can have full trust in Him that He knows our suffering, and He died for us while we were His enemies. So He loved us in the greatest way possible, and He proved it, even if we didn't deserve that proof
Another excellent video David, I really like these shorter, concise videos of yours. I increasingly find myself not having enough time to listen through hours of livestreams, so these videos are a great alternative and they are very well made as well. Thanks a lot!
Thank you, yeah I will try to shorten my videos so that what I try to say is made a lot clearer. It's not easy to listen to 1-2 hours of really dense stuff.
Off the top, I noticed that the existence of evil needed to be clarified. Evil is energetic effect, which is dependent on substantial energy in order to be expressed. Phenomenon not ontology. Satan went to Christ to get permission to test Job. Philosophical knowledge reveals that Christ is leveraging this to search Job's inner knowledge. Our disposition towards the pain reveals our true nature. Even pain reveals that something is out of order, revealing order as the more powerful and preexisting Metaphysic.
If failing isn’t logically necessary while man is practicing virtue, then I fail to see why this argument works better than the common ones you addressed.
@@MattMerdok That's a nice trope, but it doesn't really answer my critique. All it does is affirm that sin was necessary. So, God created a world where sin must occur, and this is used as a means to test us and give opportunities to grow in virtue. That is an argument that was criticized in the video, but he's making the same argument throughout it as far as I can tell. It also implies that we do not grow in virtue or godliness in the eschaton since the saints will not fail in the afterlife, and so, "getting better" is not a possibility.
" 'Virtue' is a Greek word. It comes from the Latin word 'virtus,' which itself is derived from the Greek word 'aretē' (ἀρετή). 'Aretē' originally meant 'excellence' or 'excellence of character.' "

@@therealMedWhite will you respond to lofton and the video that he made on Bartholomew saying that all religions worship the same god
Not to be nitpicky, but my favorite is 1 to 2 hour dense videos, with 10 - 25 minute clips clearly labeled as such
@@HarisPant-i3hThat’s true. Bartholomew and Pope Francis are the leaders of ecumenism.

Question, not necessarily related. Why does God exist? Was it possible for nothing to ever exist?
“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of Yours can be thwarted." :)
Epicurus paradox is a strawman
Awesome video thanks man!

Virtue is not a Greek word, it comes from Latin "Virtus".
Bro, it doesn't take that long to Google this
" 'Virtue' is a Greek word. It comes from the Latin word 'virtus,' which itself is derived from the Greek word 'aretē' (ἀρετή). 'Aretē' originally meant 'excellence' or 'excellence of character.' "
