So the question I received this week from my Youth Group came from a kid who describes himself as an Atheist. His question:
"Why would God create billions of people knowing before hand that a majority of them would end up in Hell?"
When I was given this question, I figured it was pretty easy to answer. However, the Leader of the Youth Group was shocked that I thought that because of the fact the world renown theologians had to write lengthy books on the subject and still have not answered the question. When I asked for a list he gave me zero references and he told that it's all about "God's Sovereignty".
I would to read how you guys tackle this issue. It's not common for me to be able to give a "Reformed" perspective on things to the youth so I am excited.
