A Solution to the Problem of Evil - God's Perfect Drama

Post by Necromancer »

God is creating the best possible world. In creating the best possible world, God chooses the best possible process, namely the evolution. In showing shortcomings, people may fail the belief of God and replace partially that belief with ideas that lack in quality and therefore adhere to the instance of nothing. The beliefs that lack in quality make people fail. A bad quality is a quality that lacks in greater quality. The bad quality is therefore marked with something that is missing, it is marked with a degree of nothing. Evil is therefore of instance of nothing. So there it is, the world of something and nothing. God is represented with full and all quality. Perfection in this is open to all but it is of course difficult. In making the small great God is going full circle hence God’'s own nature and this constitutes the perfect drama of full quality. It doesn’t necessarily end there. It can continue into more circles of even new dramas of the full scale of smaller quality processes into greater quality processes and back again to the full quality of God. The conclusion of this is naturally that we are a part of a perfect drama between the gravities of nothing and all on the path back to God from where we originated.

I see no logical necessity for humans to be both good and evil. They can be, I think, very good and little evil. They can also be, I think, extremely good and very little evil. Possibly, humans should have the ability to be all good and not evil, but this is up to you!

Please, mind also Plotinus' argument that can be found in his work, Enneads. This solution has taken Plotinus' argument into account.

By designating all evil as part of a perfect drama we can deduce further that we, presumably the worthy of Heaven, are given by the virtue of our system, the Earth, as one place of sentient life in competition with other places of sentient life in the Universe/Multiverse. So our system only produces a number of worthy souls by our virtue of our system and history as a whole. If we have been evil a lot, then few worthy souls have been produced. This can possibly turn out differently in these other places of good sentient life where they produce more good souls or indeed fewer good souls.

Death is then the moment of salvation and clarification from any dreadness of the mortal World for these souls worthy of Heaven.

Perhaps humanity is a failed creation and all have turned to their own way in rebellion. So in the beginning every creature failed morality 101 and God cast us out and we became mortals. Yet God allows us mercy and to get back to God we must endure death. So perhaps rebellion is our born nature. And we can decide to go two ways; back to the ways of God or onto becoming evil and damned.
So this creation is for human nature to repent. For we are born of our chosen nature.
Who knows maybe their was a perfect garden on pangea in middle earth and God gave us free will to choose Life or the knowledge of good and evil. And all of Gods creatures chose to go their own way.

That means you're part of a failed creation, Hobbes.
