IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AS REGARDS THE DIVINE NATURE OF GOD AS ALL POWERFUL, OF ALL GOODNESS, LOVING AND MERCIFUL ACCEPTING evil to prevail in the world. THIS IS EXPRESSED IN THEODICY WHICH IS A THEOLOGICAL CONCEPT .There are several types of theodicies that attempt to justify the existence of evil and suffering in the world:
*Augustinian Theodicy: This type of theodicy, named after St. Augustine, argues that evil is a privation or absence of good. According to this view, God created the world perfectly, and evil entered the world through human sin and disobedience. Augustine believed that God uses evil to punish the wicked and bring justice to the world.
*Irenaean Theodicy: Named after St. Irenaeus, this theodicy suggests that evil and suffering serve a purpose in human spiritual growth and development. According to this view, humans are created imperfect and must undergo a process of soul-making, where they develop virtues such as compassion, resilience, and courage through experiencing challenges and hardships.
*Process Theodicy: Developed by philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, this theodicy argues that God is not all-powerful and that evil and suffering are an inevitable result of the creative process. According to this view, God works within the limitations of the natural world to bring about good.
*Soul-Making Theodicy: This type of theodicy, developed by John Hick, suggests that the purpose of human life is to develop and mature as moral and spiritual beings. According to this view, evil and suffering provide opportunities for humans to grow and develop virtues such as compassion, forgiveness, and selflessness.
*Free Will Defense : This theodicy argues that human free will is the source of moral evil. According to this view, God gave humans the freedom to choose between good and evil, and human sin and disobedience led to the existence of evil in the world.
IT IS GLORIOUS TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE MALE AND FEMALE TO BE THE VISIBILITY OF THE GODHEAD TO ENSURE THE GOODNESS OF EVERY CREATURE AND CREATED TO THE GODHEAD. THE EXISTENCE OF evil is based on the limitations of humanity to live IN THE GARMENT OF BEING IN THE IMAGE OF GOD ABOVE evil. The weakness of Humanity to yield to their fleshy desires orchestrated existence of sins resulting from evil practice by going against the VOICE OF GOD IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. THEREFORE THE PRESENCE OF THE TRINITY IS TO HELP HUMANITY TO GAIN BACK HIS POWER FROM CREATION AND ELIMINATE satanism.
