This will occur during Christ's Millennium- his 1,000 year reign after the Tribulation and the casting of Satan and his minions into the Abyss.

This sounds like millenialism or utopianism. We will never obtain the perfect pain-free society in this world, that is a pipedream of the socialists and communists. Human nature is wounded by original sin and makes us far too depraved. We can approximate paradise on earth to the degree which we conform ourselves to LOGOS, the Incarnate Word, but we will never obtain heaven on earth by human effort.

Once the world ends then we will have the New Jerusalem and heaven on earth, but this will be the end of history and the end of time when Christ comes for the 2nd and final time.

The world itself will stand indefinitely. It will not be destroyed, so the new earth is referring to a new earth of Godly people, not a literal new planet earth. What do you mean by “once the world ends” ?

Why didn't God do all this shit in the first place instead of creating a universe with flawed humans who get punished in an eternal torture chamber for making flawed choices?

It's like kicking my dog because he didn't file my tax return.

God could have created a universe filled with Gods that are without sin and had just as must free will as He has.

There was no need for torture in hell, so why have torture?

'Seems sadistic.

Will you allow me to explain this in detail? I too felt the exact same way as you . I believe with my whole heart we have been lied to by religious leaders because they will get shut down if they don’t go along with the lies.

Sure, go right ahead and explain in detail please.

I'm open to the notion that the Christian bible is flawed because even though it is claimed to be INSPIRED by the word of God, it is still the work of man and subject to the full spectrum of human error in it's initial record, compilation, translation and interpretation.

I don't have much faith the the Jewish Torah part of the Christian bible, for example, because the notion that God permits Jews to genocide entire nations for the crime of not being Jewish (Deuteronomy 13:13-17) or commanding Jewish husbands to remorselessly murder their entire family for the crime of not being Jewish enough (Deuteronomy 13:6-10) is fucked-up. Jesus wouldn't want anyone to kill without remorse. I also can't take the Leviticus bird blood cleansing ritual seriously - that shit reeks of filthy Jew and occult blood magic.

For the answer to your question, see Sec. 7.4.1: "The Problem of Evil", pp. 45-46 of my following article:

The foregoing article concerns physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics). Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been extensively peer-reviewed and published in a number of the world's leading physics and science journals. However, it also analyzes the societal implications of said, particularly the implications of the exponential advancement of technology and hence also the coming radical life-extension technologies in light of a world dominated by a callous oligarchy.

The simplest answer.

All that is good comes from God. All that is evil comes from Satan.

The evil in this world is Satans.

Why does God permit Satan to commit evil? Because God created Satan, a fallen angel, and God loves ALL his creations.

God also gave us freewill. It's not much of freewill if there is only one option. So a second option had to be presented. A duality. How can their be good if there is no evil?

By allowing Satan to live, and allowing him to commit his evil, it gives those with good in them the chance to do good. How can one do good if there is no evil?

You can look around you and be aghast at the incredible levels of evil surrounding you. Or you can look around and be joyful of the fact that there are more Christians alive today that all of history combined. And that great number of Christians has an even greater amount of "evil-doers" that they can save.

Was beginning to think I was the only one who knew what that means.(Do you love me peter? Do you love me Peter? Do you love me Peter?...feed My sheep). I was just thinking about this yesterday. You know the scripture very well. Hopefully will be seeing you soon. Agape!
