Why is God the way God is?
2. Why didn't God skip steps 1-4 and go straight to 5 in the first place?
Hi MrNewbie. Welcome much.
Why are they always out of strawberry and I have to make do with chocolate?
Well, what's the point in stopping 1-4 and letting evil win? It's all to do with good and evil. If God has plans, then if he is God, is he some coward who stops any of his plans when evil comes knocking? No - infact he dies on a cross and goes through hell, rather than do that.
So what does that tell you about God? What can you infer?
Try some deductions. Read about God's characteristics in the NT.
If you really want a good answer, then you'll find out why God's word is important an unbreakable. He says we build our foundation on a rock - not jelly or sand.
It is an illusion that evil is the greater. Evil is a joke. This can be seen in how authors of fantasy fiction books, have so accurately represented evil. Read Harry Potter, or the chronicles of Narnia, for examples of good and evil.
Fantasy it is, the stories, but ironically, very similar to the truth. Look at God as your Dumbledore- type character, and your satan as Voldemort. How do they strike you personality wise?
Now you might think, oh mike you big babay, read something real, like Darwin's origins.
But I'd die of boredom!
Edited by mike the wiz, : I have now called God a coward rather than a soward

" 'My dear Watson,' said he, 'I cannot agree with those who rank modesty among the virtues. To the logician all things should be seen exactly as they are, and to underestimate oneself is as much a departure from truth as to exaggerate one's own powers. " - Sherlock Holmes,(The Greek Interpreter)
