God created all things good. Evil is not its own nature, but rather, the absence of God, and thus, the absence of good.


An analogy would be that "cold" does not really exist, but is simply the absence of heat.

Ben and I certainly agree way more on the nature of the divine than you and I.

Smiley  I love that I can be mentioned in random theological conversations; it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
