So a thought occurred to me.
Please correct any errors etc.
So..... given the qualities of the X-tian diety (Let us be as broad as possible so as to effectively include all denominations) everything in our reality, seen and unseen, is some how a manifest part of/result of or 'From' said diety. Yes?
So.... if everything that abounds is 'From diety' and it is not a part of said diety to 'Lie'.
Whence from comes falsehood?
*Ponders the inponderable which mayhap becomes really ponderous..... *
EDIT: Or.... is this simply a variation upon the 'Problem of evil' ?
It’s not really a part of the problem of evil, even if you consider falsehoods to be evil. Biblically speaking, God is able to (and sometimes does) deliberately deceive people, so one may argue that falsehoods are a part of God’s nature.
