God revealed there as good and all powerful, have always faced the challenge, "If God is good and all powerful how can evil still exist in the world?"
This video summarizes the answer by considering three areas: Sinners deserve to suffer, God uses evil to promote His people's good, and God uses evil to promote the greatest good.
The video also emphasizes that we should be sensitive to the fact that there is both an intellectual and an experiential struggle with this issue and that doctrine of the cross needs to be brought into this discussion.
It is also pointed out that compromised theologies regarding God's exhaustive sovereignty leave Christians in a position which cannot answer an atheist's argument.

The guy in the picture is adorable as fuck.

And all three of those areas are completely irrelevant, since God is also supposed to be all-powerful, thus making the existence of both evil and sin to be completely nonsensical

Its a let's redefine evil so God won't come off as evil thread.

"All-powerful" is itself a nonsense which by it's impossibility implies some deeper limitation which we just don't understand. The main point to take from that doctrine is that you can't "beat" god, it can never be outwitted or overpowered
