Theodicy and Divine Judgment

The discussion explores the concept of theodicy, which addresses why God allows evil to exist in the world. The question of why God did not eliminate Adam and Eve after their sin leads to the idea that human freedom is a critical aspect of God's design. The Presumption that a 'do-over' with a new Adam and Eve would yield different results ignores the belief in inherent human freedom. Ultimately, the reasoning suggests that God's purposes may include judging evil, which is glorifying in itself, contrary to conventional ideas about a loving God wishing to avoid judgment.
