it would be a non factor
Love encompasses a great many things
Letting someone chose evil is not best in terms of love.
But most of all, it is an unconditional affection towards another, irresepctive of their qualities
God loves us, not because we are good
We are born into sin
Chopin define what is evil?
He can't define evil
Evil is the rejection of god
Why would that be
Good and Evil cannot exist without God.
The absence of his prescene
God is good, wholly good
Then wouldn't god not everywhere
and would it be that god doesn't love he controlls
God is everywhere, but his essence isn't in everything. Christianity doesn't ascribe to a panentheistic view of reality
Like how a mad man likes to see a woman's mind breaking into stockholm
What is more loving? Pure love, or love and evil together? Choice allows evil. Choice is evil not loving.
What do you mean by those terms
Free will lets man chose evil. Without free will there would be no evil. That is more loving.
Without free will there can be no good either
by both philoophers and theologians
Good? I thought we were talking about love.
God is a god of love and goodness
So as a direct result of these qualities of himself, every action thereof is never in contradiction to his attributes
Why is free will good for a loving God to give when it can only lead to evil?
he cannot act in a way that contradicts his own nature
Are you sure it will only lead to evil
How can you be so sure about something like that
That is the way it turned out.
Either you are good like God or you choose to move away.
This has been an interesting convo mate, but I apologise I have to go
Good night
Okay thanks.
I'm taking the gf to see wonder woman
should be good
Goodnight
@Mros Why can there be no good without freewill?
Because by doing good you must be consciously rejecting evil. Without the ability to do evil you cannot be good. You would merely be acting.
