Introduction

Theodocy has been around for ages. Why does god allow sin, evil and suffering? Christians have generally answered this question in one of two ways. The arminian or provisionist approach from non calvinist might say, because love is a supreme ethic there must be free will. On the other hand, the calvinistic or reformed tra when asked why evil, might say something like, well, god decreed evil to demonstrate and magnify his power and glory. We believe the major problem with the calvinists answer is that it seems to make god responsible for evil.
