If the cosmos is not something of a free democracy because it's under the ultimate rulership of God, then it has to be something of a tyrannical monarchy. Either some power is shared or it's not. And if it's not, then all the blame for all the evil in the cosmos must ultimately rest on the lap of the monarch whose will is never stopped from happening.
I believe the cosmos is a free democracy whereby we are truly blessed or cursed by how we align ourselves in the fight between two cosmic kingdoms. We either share in Christ's victory or we share in Satan's defeat. But we are in either case always only the secondary participants and never the main players.
And to think that if God has the power and authority to stop evil from happening and does not act to prevent it would make Him what?
So the Creators knowing how Their creation functions, that's every single individual entity, then sees the potential clash, fight, harm that these 2 will cause by their design and nature wouldn't He want to stop the bad, evil, harm, destruction from occurring?
Again, what does that make that Creator?
Did They make what They designed and created defective as they have the potential to malfunction and produce evil, harm, destruction? Unless that is Their intent.
Can the Creators escape from being praised for all the good Their creation has done simply because of how they are designed and the nature they were given?
Equally, can the Creators escape from being blamed for all the evil that Their creation has done simply because of how they are designed and the nature they were given?
Hasn't the builder got the right to design and make items for good and others for evil from the same material.
Does his workmanship make him good or evil? Does it define him? Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't.
What do you think?
