There's no need to.What do you think this is, science class? I made a logical argument. Refute it with logic. Is it possible to love without free will? Is love a legitimate reason for a good God to allow evil? In philosophy, arguments are made with logic and thought experiments. Use logic and/or thought experiments to show how one could answer "no" to both of the above questions.
Can someone love through freedom of will if it is made explicitly clear that failure to show enough love will result in nightmarish, endless torment?
Could not an all-powerful God devised a way for love to exist without evil being a necessary part of it?
