Satan and the problem of evil Now, the snake is the most unwieldy animals made by the Lord God. The snake asked the woman, "Is God truly saying to you not to eat from the garden tree?" The woman replied: "We can eat fruit in the garden," You can not eat it, you can not even touch it, so that you will not die. But snake said to the lady: "Of course, you will not die No, the moment you eat it, your eyes are opened and you know what is wrong like God Let's see (Genesis 3: 1-5) snakes, devils, underworld, king of darkness, collapsed

In short, Job is an article about evil. This book starts with God and Satan and talks about Job, "completely upright", "Afraid of God, Avoid evil" (1: 1). Satan tells God that Job is kindly because Job is rich; if he suffers, he will surely curse your face (1:11). God accepted that challenge and Satan was allowed to destroy the life of Job. Likewise, many scholars believe that this part is not included in the original work but has been added by later editors. God's explanation - if you can call it - is that the only person who is human can not understand his behavior. He asked Job about the question of rhetoric - did Job kill the big beast and the dragon like him?

In 1939, at the beginning of the Second World War, Albert Camus wrote in his note: "The dominance of the beast has begun." In the past year or two, regardless of how dominance of the beast is In some places: wonderful days, miraculous relief. But as Jung thinks, different people live in different centuries. Today as well, there are things that have gentle conflict over the centuries of the world yet. The war in the Gulf region is a part of the centuries of conflict and the cultural premise that has been going on for centuries.

Last Thursday, we discussed the problem of evil. We talked about how we understand evil (for example, as a demon / devil, as a manifestation of its influence, as a manifestation of our personal sin). There are various ways of thinking about evil, but some of them are duplicated, some of which are mutually exclusive. Talking about ways to understand evil without relying on "correct understanding" is to preoccupy with the wisdom of people who gave a lot of thought without pretending that we have really satisfying answers It is a healthy way. This is a topic that Christians should always say "I do not know." I think the Miroslav Wolf is correct: God can not truly succeed.
