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?

I was going to bring up Job

Ah, Job.

Killing his family members in order to prove his loyalty to him

It was actually Satan who did that

How would a loving God subject his child to such suffering

If God is all-powerful, and also loving, how can he allow evil to exist

Why not crush it instantly

You've asked this question numerous times and it's been answered numerous times.

There's no need to go around in circles with it.

I've asked it twice and you've avoided the first time

I misunderstood this idea of free will. Thanks for clarifying.

hi chopin

If God crushed evil he would be absolving man of the responsibility for his own actions. Which would be unjust.

Hi

Free will defined as holding consciousness and potentiality of evil but not acting on it, is interesting.
