How loving to have no choice at all
Without free will man cannot be good
Love has nothing to do with choice.
And god has chosen in his divine forbearance to use the ill choice of the devil for good
A loving God will give man the choice to love him.
and triump over him through the person of Christ
Or to reject him
The literal incarnation of god in human form to conquer satan and sin forever
Why does love require choice?
ask yourself
If I gave you no choice on whether or not to enter into a marriage
If you are unable to reject something can you really say that you love it?
Would that be loving
Yes. I love my mother. No less because I dud not choose it.
Also your looking at this wrong
*you're
Chopin you could still choose to hate your mother.
Love is a state of being. It does not need choice to arrive at.
Assuming choice is a real thing and not just a sensation.
What if the person you're marrying was the one who forced it would it be love in their eyes?
Except you're not forced to love God. The proof? The fact that you can reject him.
Often but not necessary.

In the cases where it isn't, it simply is
God not you
like natural phenemmenon
Love does not allow evil.
Love is doing what is best for someone
Actually it does
Well no
It's wanting the best for someone
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
