The best two-minute explanation of the gospel you’ll ever hear:

So where did evil originate? Evil originated where? In heaven? Yes, evil originated in heaven, in an angelic rebellion right under the nose of God. Why Does Evil Dominate the World? — John MacArthur // March 4, 2007 There are people actually who aren’t even that sophisticated; they’re just short answer folks - we hinted at them earlier. You say, “Where did evil come from?” and they’ll say, “Oh, it came from Adam and Eve.” Really? How did it get introduced to Adam and Eve? “Well, oh yeah, that’s right, it came from the snake.” Well, how did the - how did the snake get to a place where he could be embodied by Satan? And how did Satan get to be Satan in which he was tempting people to do evil? “Oh, well, he came from - oh, he came from heaven, didn’t he?” So where did evil originate? Evil originated where? In heaven? Yes, evil originated in heaven, in an angelic rebellion right under the nose of God. You think that was a shock? Then you don’t have a God who is absolutely omniscient. You think God couldn’t stop it once it got going? Couldn’t put an end to it right on the spot? Then you have a God who is not all-powerful. No matter how you deal with it, if you sustain the biblical doctrine of God, God becomes ultimately responsible for the existence of evil. You remember Rabbi Kushner, in the book When Bad Things Happen to Good People? A lot of things wrong with that book. The thing that’s wrong with the title is there are no good people - but let’s grant him his title, When Bad Things Happen to Good People. What he does is reinvent God; He reinvents God. God doesn’t have the knowledge and God doesn’t have the power, so let’s not hold Him responsible for what He doesn’t know and can’t deal with. One writer, Leibniz, looked at this problem and said, “God created the best of all worlds that He could make; He couldn’t do any better.” Really. Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, other sort of ancient philosophies, said God had to deal with two co-eternal and independent realities, good and evil - co-eternal, independent, that is, always existing. Well, none of these answers is adequate. All these answers come from people who lack a fixed God-centered view of reality, and they have to abandon a biblical view of God. But many of the people who offer these kind of answers declare their faith in the Bible and the God of the Bible, but they expect the God of the Bible to be dragged into a human court, a court of human reason, to be judged by a moral law lower than Himself. Wow. Somehow God is a higher being, but we have a higher law. We’re going to acknowledge that God is the eternal God, but we’re going to hold Him accountable to our understanding of justice. Now, when you boil all this down, there are a number of categories in which theodicies can be created. Let me just give them to you. This is a little seminary class, folks, and hang on. The first category is metaphysical; metaphysical. That is to say, evil is inevitable. It is a corollary of good, it’s necessary, it’s yin-yang. It’s a necessary opposite; if one thing exists, by the very metaphysics of its existence, the opposite can exist as well. It is not that God created evil, it is not that God ordained evil; it is that evil is because good is. It is simply a negation, it is simply a privation. It is the absence of, the opposite of. If you have an infinity, you have a finitude. If you have a good, you have an evil. There’s some truth in that, to some limited degree metaphysically. There is also the more theological approach to that metaphysical idea, and it is this: that because God created humanity good, the potential for evil existed within that creation and man exercising his will chose the evil. So, it didn’t really come from God, it came from man. It didn’t really come from God, it came from Lucifer, who made the same choice in heaven. That was strongly the argument of Augustine and Aquinas in ancient times, and there is truth in that.

@CrimsonDesert_ Love to have the option to "tap only" for attack instead of holding the button. Something to "disable the hold to attack" feature. That's just me though. My 🧠 fights with wanting to tap when I know holding the button does the same thing, lol.
