Quote by: Ken Carman If you believe in Satan then an all powerful, all knowing and compassionate God is pretty much a contradiction in terms. |
Not at all! What most folks can't get a grip on is that we humans are a little like God, but He is not at all like us.
He is a sentient being, true. He has a personality, true. Otherwise, He is utterly different. He is unlimited by time and space for example. On the contrary, THEY are limited by Him. They are His constructs. So when we try to generalize our finite limited reason and wisdom to extend over God, we are engaged in futility. He is sovereign over all Creation, we have a limited creative ability.
Satan will be taken care of in the final windup of this universe. Who knows how many universes preceded this one? Or how many will be created and destroyed after? The unlimited Creator can do as He wishes. And although He has revealed a bit of Himself to us, most of His being remains obscure.
Do you deny the existence of evil? If not, what is its source?
