The job of evil refers to the nature of God. Many assume that God is benevolent but barely anyone truly considers the possibility that God is non wholly good but instead an all evil. malevolent God. The inquiry is if God is all good and all powerful. so why did he make a universe full of evil and enduring? There is so much agony in this universe that a batch of people find it difficult to believe that. if God does be. he is good. There is the statement that an all good. all powerful God would make some agony in the universe to possibly let people to accomplish greater goods. However. in all honestness. there is more evil than good in the universe and so the likely goon of that isn’t really high. So in order to explicate the nature of the job of immorality. so one has to see the possibility of an evil God every bit good as a benevolent one. Is God willing to forestall evil. but unable to? Is God able to forestall evil. but unwilling to make so? Or is God able to forestall evil and willing to?

If everyone goes along with the false theory that God is all good. it is harder to come up with grounds and theories that would explicate Gods ground for leting evil and enduring in the universe. However. if you consider the thought that God is non wholly good but instead evil. so everything becomes clearer. Then once more. there is the inquiry of if there is an all evil God. so why did he make beauty and felicity in the universe? Or why did he trouble oneself making the universe in the first topographic point if he was merely traveling to see it destroyed by the immorality within human nature? The reply is this ; he merely created beauty and goodness so that he could take it all off. to see us all suffer. This theory nevertheless. merely seems to raise new inquiries instead than merely replying the old and so it still leaves the inquiry. is God good or bad?

Another statement would be free will. The Bible provinces that God granted worlds the gift of free will. However some would state that as a consequence of this. we have created our ain immorality and agony. We start our ain wars ; we are the ground so many people are deceasing of famishment. But so there are those who would reason that it is better to hold free will because it is a good that ‘far outweighs the immorality it produces’ . The Ireanean theodicy efforts to explicate natural immorality every bit good as moral immorality. This theodicy states that things like bad experiences can do a individual stronger. For illustration people who have suffered through a life endangering disease and survived may state that they have really gained something from it. regardless to how much hurting it brought. Similarly. by making natural immorality. God is leting us to ‘grow and develop morally and spiritually’ .

However the issue with this theory is that it fails to explicate why God allows enduring to be distributed to some. while others enrich themselves in luxury. Therefore we are once more brought to the inquiry ‘is God good or bad? ’ There are other ways of explicating why evil happens. One is Augustine’s theory that immorality is the consequence of angels who turned off from God. Generally. Augustine’s theodicy is the traditionally recognized one. He based his theory on two cardinal transitions from the bible: Genesis 3 and Romans 5:12-20. Augustine believed in a good God who created the universe with goodness and immorality is a ‘privation of good’ . non an entity itself but something that lacks goodness.
