“If we further consider this divine panoramic view within which all evil is supposedly a "secret good" is held by a God who, according to Scripture, has a passionate hatred toward all evil, the "solution" becomes more problematic still. For it is certainly not clear how God could hate what he himself wills and sees as a contributing ingredient in the good of the whole. If all things play themselves out according to a divine plan, how can God genuinely hate anything?” EvilSovereignty Of GodTheodicy Book:God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict Source: God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict
“Our fundamental sin is that we place ourselves in the position of God and divide the world between what we judge to be good and what we judge to be evil. And this judgment is the primary thing that keeps us from doing the central thing God created us to do, namely, love like He loves.” WorldLoveEvilSinPositionJudgingJudgmentFundamentalsBe GoodPrimariesDivides Book:Repenting of Religion: Turning from Judgment to the Love of God Source: Repenting of Religion: Turning from Judgment to the Love of God
“Second, if you disbelieve in the reality of good and evil spirit agents, you fundamentally change the narrative of Scripture. The motif of spiritual warfare is a through-line of both the Old and New Testaments (NT). And in the NT, the meaning of what Jesus was doing in his life, ministry, death and resurrection is fundamentally tied up with the belief in spiritual warfare. Take away Satan, and you take away one of the most fundamental reasons Jesus came to earth!” ReasonRealityEarthSpiritualSpiritEvilJesusBeliefScriptureSatanGood And EvilResurrectionNew TestamentSpiritual WarfareTied Up Author:Gregory A.
