Yet one can easily imagine, to the detriment of Christian theology, degrees of goodness not marked by any degrees of pure evil. Our only conclusion must be that Yahweh represents extreme confusion, struggle, and despair, and given the testimonies of countless saints, this appears to be precisely the sentiment they've allowed themselves to be devoured by too.
Evil in this case has nothing to do with goodness.
Here evil as per the life of job has to do with causing the resistance needed to challenge force us to a point where an honest decision can be made about eternal service to God.
In the parable of the wise and foolish builders evil in the wind and rain that proofs the house we built and its foundations.
Is shonuff the cats name?
