The Problem of Evil (XXVII)

[wiploc]

There is no problem of evil

Sure there is.  

An omnipotent god would have the power to prevent all evil.
An omniscient god would know how to prevent all evil.  
An omnibenevolent god would choose to prevent all evil.  
Therefore, a tri-omni god would prevent all evil.  
Therefore, if evil exists, tri-omni gods do not exist.  

That's a logical relationship.  It has a name.  It is called "The Problem of Evil."  

because there is no claim in the Bible that God is omnibenevolent.

Maybe you're right, and maybe you're wrong.  Actually, I assume you're wrong, because whenever the bible says one thing over here, it'll say something else over there.  But, hey, let's stipulate that you're right:  The bible doesn't claim god is omnipotent.  

I don't see how that's relevant.  A lot of Christians believe their god is omnipotent, and that he's omnisicient, and that he's omnibenevolent, and that he coexists with evil.  Those Christians are wrong.  

How do we know they're wrong?  The PoE.  

In Christian theology, God is tautologically "good" but he is nowhere near benevolent.

To be benevolent is to desire good.  

Problem solved.

The PoE is already a solution.  It is a logical proof that you cannot logically believe in a tri-omni god who coexists with evil.
