One more bite for the night...I can't resist!...I mostly agree with your assessment, but don't agree that God is not omnipotent. Unfortunately the problem is not a simple one. Regarding people, Satan is a tempter; he would try to get us to do evil things, but we can choose not to do them (even if we are enticed by such temptation, we do not have to "follow through" and conceive sin). The decision to believe in and serve God is also just that - a choice. The Bible says that God is Love - and love does not force itself. Even the Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 13, states that having - and using - the gifts of God without love (or charity, in some translations) is fruitless. Though God could easily have us subjected to Him, how could we demonstrate our love for Him in this case? As was discussed earlier, this problem evolves when elements out of human control - such as natural disasters - occur. my blog |
