I think he knew what would happen there. Just like any good father would know how there kids might behave any a given situation. So we are hear to learn and to choose right from wrong and to learn how to deal with all things we experience. We are free to choose right from wrong just as a kid in class is free to chose the right or wrong answer. Without evil we would not really have a choice. I don't think God "uses" evil per say , but in essence we are cut lose here and with the exception of divine intervention, we are left to chose right from wrong and deal with what ever happens "by chance" in whatever way we chose.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117687722559098236.post-5994804790714757552007-01-15T20:03:00.000-05:002007-01-15T20:03:00.000-05:00Excellent post!

I was sent a link to this post by Alan Knox in the comments section of a post I just wrote earlier today, <a href="http://www.raysxchange.blogspot.com/">"Believing The Best About God"</a>. Great to hear some concurring voices on this subject. I am so tired of hearing of fatal car crashes, diseases, and even hurricane Katrina explained as being "God's will". It's refreshing to read someone's writing who seems to believe better things about our loving Father!Raborn Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07554773112202991062noreply@blogger.com
