CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
God, omnibenevolent or omnipotent and omniscient?

This the typical problem of evil fslse dichotomy. All of God’s attributes remain intact and He has already defeated the devil. The Bible addresses evil through out the totality of scripture. Rather than creating us as amoral robots or dooming mankind for our sin or condoning our sin by leaving it unresolved, God chose the one and only way to settle the problem. He created us with the freedom to choose our actions, and then extended forgiveness to us. Forgiveness is the Christian answer to the problem of evil.
This is not a matter of Arminian free will but a matter of God giving us reason to choose our actions. We, as Christians, continue to din which in the Lord’s eyes us evil and yet we can confess our sins and be forgiven. The problem of evil never existed.
