Quote by: linda_mary_13  Evil is the lack of GOD. GOD is goodness, love, mercy etc. and more and that IS real.
Evil and goodness are real things and we know they exist in the world (Earth). GOD didn't create evil. Evil is the lack of GOD. GOD did not create himself therefore GOD did not create the lack of himself. |
If evil is the lack of good (the privation of good) then it does not have real existence.
What I think you don't understand is that if you are saying the God is equivalent to Good then you have created a pantheism which I don't think you mean to do. I think you mean to say God is the exemplary good (or Good is part of the divine mind as it understands itself) and all good things imitate this exemplary.
I don't think your position is very well thought out. It does not follow any theologian's ideas that I know of. In fact, it is what most theologians argue against.f
