Comment on If Jesus can turn water into wine, but wine is still mostly made of water, can Jesus apply his powers recursively and create more and more concentrated wine?

  I think the Problem of Evil actually makes sense when you consider eternity and infinity. The infinity that God is and Eternity that Heaven is, earthly sufferings really will be seen to be nothing. You probably don’t worry about that exam anymore that you were studying for as a kid.

  That’s moral relativism to a T. The evil perpetrated by God on humans via unnecessary pain, disease, and death is relatively moral given the vastness of eternity. Basically you’re saying it’s ok for god to create little playthings to torture because it lives a long time. I disagree.

    Evil isn’t perpetuated by God, though. Evil is perpetuated by us.

      Perpetuate - “make something continue indefinitely”

      So we perpetuate it, but who created it? Who made us with the ability to perpetuate evil? Who decided what is and isn’t evil? Why do only give god credit for the good stuff when you believe it made everything in the universe? You have to count the bad stuff too or it’s not really god.

        We have free will. Satan brought evil into the world. God will destroy Satan, but first, He’s proving Satan wrong that humans aren’t unworthy.
