The Problem of Evil, Free Will, and the "Greater Good"

I still retain a little knowledge of God from my particular brand of Christianity I was a part of. I'm eager to hear every special-pleaded version of him though in order to show people why I can't personally believe in their particular take of the concept. It has never been easier to do this than through philosophy.

Drich Wrote:The Jews who followed Christ back then what were they called? Jews or Christians? (They were Christians, matter of fact there was a big debate on whether or not one had to become a jew first and then convert to Christianity.) Even so the remaining Jews that are here are here in accordance to what Chirst said. (That the Jewish people will not be disolved/pass from this earth till His second comming.)

I was waiting for the generic Not All Will Be Saved apologetic. You never fail to leave me disgusted at the injustice your book promotes. Will you be able to live with yourself in eternal bliss knowing your stock answers made people walk the other way?
