Why Did God Permit Sin

This week, FOFer Joe Schenk seeks to answer one of the “big questions” many Christians and non-believers have about the nature of God – why does He allow sin in the world? Why do we have free will if He knows that so many will rebel against Him? Joe believes the answer lies in the book of Philemon, which shows how Paul asked Philemon to accept a former slave, who had stolen from Philemon but had been led to Christ by Paul, back into his household – not as a slave, but as a brother.
