The Problem of Good

[orangebox21]

No, I'm showing that God has a purpose for sin.  God has used the existence of sin to show His mercy and His justice and there is no clearer picture of that than at the cross where His wrath was poured out onto the Son and the righteousness of the Son was poured out onto believers.  This is the power of the death of Christ and the means of salvation to all who believe.

It is. You flat out said that it's not without purpose. That without it, we wouldn't know God's justice and mercy.

Yes I did say that.  Maybe we're not defining justify in the same way.  How are you defining justify?

Sure, I get that you don't believe, but this is the logic you used to argue that it is merciful to abort a child within the context of the Christian worldview.  Are you withdrawing that argument?

No. I said unequivocally that it is the logical conclusion of Christianity. I'm saying it's the uncomfortable argument they should be making, but shy away from. They "solve" this by saying they don't have the authority to kill or something something God's plan.

We're going to have to back up so I can clearly understand you.  What is the logical conclusion of Christianity?  Are you claiming that the logical conclusion of Christianity is that a woman is justified in aborting a child [because of her knowledge that this child will go to heaven]?
