If evil is necessary, that would mean doing evil would be God's work since it is necessary and by definition, needed. Even evil itself would be God's work. While a broad interpretation of God may allow this, a Christian interpretation of a loving God would not. In other words, "All Loving" is not compatible with evil. A spanking of a child may be an act of love but the child dying in a fire you set intentionally with the intent of harming the child can no way be called love.
With respect, how did Jesus dying on the cross pay for our sins? If God set the rules, couldn't he have just forgiven us directly? If he decided that his own sacrifice to himself is necessary, is this truly a sacrifice? Is it even a sacrifice for an omnipotent eternal being to sacrifice a small part of himself for a moment of existence (relative to eternity)? The Triad still exists, does it not? Therefore, no sacrifice was made.
Wouldn't it be logical to state that we have free will despite God's all-knowing nature? God may know our decisions ahead of time but they are still our decisions to make. Being aware of something and controlling it are two different things.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
