Like fun-house mirrors, reflections on reflections, twisted and misshapen. Following a law in order to be like God is nothing short of [...]]]></description>

It’s not that Young makes The Father figure of the Trinity into a black woman that reeks of blasphemy, but that he makes Him into anything at all.

Every direction is either one of these three or a compromise between them. They are called the three Dimensions. Now notice this. If you are using one dimension, you could draw only a straight line.

		<description><![CDATA["Why it is necessary that we be able to choose evil for us to have free will, while it is not necessary that God be able to choose evil for Him to have free will?" was the actual question.
For starters, I must admit my limits and refer my readers (all one of me) to Lewis or Augustine, Bonhoeffer or Athanasius for a detailed answer. Dr. Craig is certainly well thought out, but I always like to think things through myself.

Short answer: Good is defined by who God is, His very nature. Evil is turning from or disobeying God, and as we are like but separate entities, we have that choice. A choice that God does not have. God cannot turn from Himself, though He may do as He pleases.]]></description>

Our friend was very disturbed and retorted that it is never God&#8217;s will that evil be upon us; evil results from the Fall, not God. I know what she means, and she is [...]]]></description>
