From the Booklet Why Is There Evil? by Dr. R.C. Sproul
“Two separate but closely related problems that Christians often hear when people object to Christianity are the problem of evil and the problem of human suffering.
“The first problem with respect to evil is usually stated like this: How can a being who is infinitely righteous, holy, and perfect create a creation or a creature with even the possibility of sin’s being present? If all things go back to the being of God, would we not have to find evil somewhere within God Himself to account for the presence of evil in this world? So the question of evil has to do with the integrity and holiness of God.
“The question of suffering is closely related, but it is not the same question. The question of suffering is, How can a benevolent God allow all the suffering that we find existing in life?
“These are two separate questions. The first is more of a philosophical question. The second is more of a practical question of dealing with the problem of pain, anguish, and tragedy in this world.”
