If God is the first cause and source of everything in existence, then he is the originator of evil.>But evil is le lack of good o algoCool, but that’s not what the Bible says.>Isaiah 45:7 “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things”If evil were simply a lack of good, it would be mere indifference rather than an active desire to harm people. Evil is in fact its own substance and if God is the originator of everything, then he is also the originator of evil which again the Bible affirms several times. “Evil is a privatization of good” is a shitty argument said only by privileged assholes who never experienced suffering in their entire lives and ironically ignores what the Bible actually says about evil.
>>18729504Fuck you burrito.
Christian theologians made up some bullshit "free will" argument precisely because they couldn't answer the "problem of evil".
>>18729504Hermeticism copes by arguing that evil is a byproduct of generation (like rust on iron) and not innately derived from Divinity thereby. That's not the Judeo-Christian view but it's still an interesting counterargument.
Privation of good and privileged asshole are one heck of a combination friend. unconscious freudian slip no one will get the true archetypal reference at work so your safe
>>18729504The word "evil" in that passage is more properly translated as disaster or calamity - a physical trial rather than a metaphysical substance. But it's all made up nonsense anyway, so who gives a fuck?
>>18729508>t. just read babby's first "philosophy" illustrated bookSorry troon but St. Pascal won the bet :-)Those who know know
>>18729532Sure bud, that’s why every single translation of the OT translated that word to mean “evil” and why it was historically understood to specifically mean evil.
>>18729504>equivocation on the word "evil"Boring. Next?
