Emosaur This flowchart is very simplistic. For example, Does God want to prevent the evil?>no>God is not all loving; so God created a bunch of robots that can’t make choices for themselves? Because that’s the only way to prevent evil, is to make sure that we humans never
choose it.
Could God have created a universe without evil that maintains free will?>no>God is not all powerful. Well obviously even an all powerful God can’t do things that are
logically impossible. For example, God can’t create an object that simultaneously exists and doesn’t exist. A universe without evil that maintains free will falls into that realm, it’s the same type of thing.
An all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God would not, and could not have allowed the creation, or continued existence of Satan. What’s he supposed to do? Zap Satan into oblivion just because he chose sin? Because God wanted robotic angels that have no free will? If by Satan what you really mean is hell, then I’ll agree, hell doesn’t exist. Hell is not even just, let alone merciful, so I don’t believe in it. From what I’ve either read or been told early Christians didn’t have anything like the modern concept of hell either.
Also, I’m open to the possibility that perhaps God is not all knowing and/or all powerful.
