Evil And Omnipotence Analysis
If God does exist then how come evil exist as well? The overall view of God is that he is a theistic God. Since the theistic God is omnipotent and wholly good then there should not be evil because of the fact that good tries to cancel out evil as much as it possibly can. If the theistic God is both good and omnipotent then he would be able to eliminate evil as a whole, yet it is evident that there is still evil in the world. The argument of evil and omnipotence attempts to explain this better which is why I agree with this argument.
The Problem of evil is divided into three parts the first is that God is omnipotent the second is that God is wholly good and the final part of the problem of evil is that evil does exist. Since it is not really …show more content…
This could be very possible for the reason that maybe evil is not caused by means of god but by the people when god gave us free will. So could it be possible that second order evils are just a cause of our freedom. Although if god did give us free will then why would he make man so that they could potentially make a decision that could be good or could possibly be bad? Why not make it so all decisions were good? Despite this whole thing what if evil does not exist and is only a part of something bigger that we in the moment cannot see and something evil could lead to something being good as a whole. Granting all of this, this solution leads to many questions such as, what if we do not have free will and our lives are already planned for us? If this is possible then that would mean that god is omnipotent and that we do not actually have free will and that is is possibly just an illusion. Another possibility concerning free will is that god at one point was omnipotent but gave up some of his “power” in order for us to have free will which means that he is not omnipotent anymore. I think this could be very possible because I myself believe in God so I do think that he is good and omnipotent but maybe he was omnipotent at one point and decided to give us the gift of free will and to do that he might have had to give up some of his power. I think he gave us free will so that we could experience one of the most important things in life which is real love. Without free will I do not think that we would be able to experience real true love because we would not be able to choose who we love and we would just simply have to love the person chosen for
