    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    Double predestination is a relatively basic term in theology. I apologize but you are revealing your genuine ignorance in very basic theological concepts. I would highly recommend reading a book on systematic theology. Any will do. There are plenty of reformed theology books to choose from. I...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    I agree with this reference. As I previously stated. "God is responsible for making evil possible. Humanity is responsible for making evil actual." Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    Your reference stated, "I believe the reason why Satan could be created perfect, and yet fall, is that while he was perfect, he was still a creature, not a creator. He was not a deity — he was lower than God. Only God is immutable (1 Samuel*15:29; Malachi*3:6; James*1:17). Thus, Satan could...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    It was a good essay. However, I noticed some flaws. It is interesting that the author repeatedly quotes C.S. Lewis. However, C.S. Lewis also stated: "C. S. Lewis states, "I would pay any price to be able to say truthfully, ‘All will be saved.' But my reason retorts, ‘Without their will, or with...

    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    I agree with your response. However, when we remove "free will" from the equation, these are the questions we must struggle with. That extreme Calvinists must struggle with. It is unfortunate that their only response is "Read Romans 9 and quit asking stupid questions. If you can't settle with...

    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    ^^This is double predestination^^ A statement supporting single predestination would be, "We all deserve to go to Hell. God did not choose us to go to Hell. However, He only pardons a few elect."

    What does God's Sovereignty mean?

    I agree with this statement. However, how then would we explain the thought process behind God choosing to place the Tree of Knowledge smack dab in the middle of the Garden of Eden? Why would God create Lucifer knowing he would rebel and take a third of the angels? What led Lucifer to sin? You...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    6. Conclusion (So What?) I first want to clarify that the intent of my paper is not to prove or disprove the existence of God. Instead, it is to provide a logical and rational response to the problems associated with evil that will disarm the skeptic and bring reconciliation between God and the...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    5. DOES EVIL HAVE A PURPOSE? If God is omnibenevolent, He would have a good purpose for everything (Rom. 8:28). However, as described in the introduction, what good purpose can be found when a father is watching helplessly as a terminal illness takes the life of his young child? Can we conclude...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    4. WHY DOES EVIL STILL PERSIST? We now understand that evil is a privation of goodness and that this privation is a product of free will. We also know that God is responsible for making evil a possibility. However, as a result of their abuse of free will, humans are responsible for making the...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    3. WHERE DID EVIL COME? The problem associated with the origin of evil stems from God's perfect nature. The skeptic would argue that if God is a perfect being, it would be impossible for Him to create anything with imperfections. Because human beings are imperfect creatures who cause evil, no...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    2. WHAT IS EVIL? If God is omnibenevolent, evil cannot be within Him nor can it be emanated or created by Him. As the supremely sovereign creator, what then is "evil"? The skeptic will argue that if God is the creator of everything in existence and all things were created through Him (Gen. 1:1...

    Why Does Evil Exist?

    1. THE PROBLEM OF EVIL What is “The Problem of Evil”? The problem of evil is not just simply that evil exists. Rather, it is the compatibility between both God and evil that drives the conundrum. Many theologians such as Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, and C.S. Lewis have had variations to...
