Theodicy. Here is an overview of what the definition of theodicy is.
The idea is that God is said to have these three properties.
It is often attacked by one of the most common copy and pastes atheists love to throw out there.
Quote:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

This is just another straw man attack against God and it supposes human understanding of the mind of God. God can do anything He wants to. He can choose to help you or not.
This is the secret to the problem of evil. Every major apologetic that speaks to the subject all has this in common.
Quote:
Augustine says that God created the world perfectly, with no evil or human suffering. Evil entered the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve and the theodicy casts the existence of evil as a just punishment for this original sin.

A just punishment for Adam and Eve's original sin. Eternal punishment for the sins of our ancestors.
Plus, if we disobey God by not believing in Him, He is going to punish us a second time with eternal slow roasting in a lake of fire.
Plantagina, Irenaeus and others use this line of reasoning. The argument from free will. It's really the same argument framed a different way. In that it takes the same leg from the table to get to theodicy.
Quote:
To achieve moral perfection, Irenaeus suggested that humans must have free will.
John Hick collated the ideas of Irenaeus into a distinct theodicy. He argued that the world exists as a "vale of soul-making" (a phrase that he drew from John Keats), and that suffering and evil must therefore occur. He argued that human goodness develops through the experience of evil and suffering.

So this life is justly cursed and tortured for the sins of Adam and Eve... merely as an audition for the next life.
God created man. Man sinned. God cursed man for eternity. Man continues to sin. God kills man except those on a boat. God gives law requiring blood sacrifices. Man continues to sin. God decides to allow people into heaven and hell. God temporarily sacrifices self to self. A new covenant in blood. Hebrews 9:17-18.
They all choose omnibenevolence to take away from the table to gain theodicy.
God is able to prevent evil, but He is not willing to. God is often the source of calamity and destruction as is His prerogative. That's the thing that atheists just can't understand about us.
Weak Christians say things like, "God is all loving. He wants nothing but the best for you." We know the Truth. God loves only those people He loves. Romans 9:13-23
The rest of them will be cast into a lake of fire forever and ever.
And that, my friends, is the truth of the matter. Theodicy is a lie because God is not omnibenevolent. To say that He is, is an attack on His character.
