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.

I think this is quite a complex topic, that many tomes have been written poring over this subject

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.

Do you really have the ability to do evil if you never commit evil sometimes?

Can God create evil?

If not he is not all powerful.

It is outside of his nature to do it. He would not do evil because he is all good.

Is God also conscious of evil?

Yes, and in he works around man's evil in order to do good.

So God would never directly command man to do evil

Are you going to bring up Abraham and Isaac?
