The Great Manager

Not a week goes by that you don't hear someone somewhere give thanks to God for His goodness, mercy, and love. And by the same token question Him for the existance of evil. Many say a good God cannot exist at all if in fact evil exists. I would argue that the existance of evil is one of the best arguments that the spirit world does indeed exist. Can evil be a product of the biological process? I think one of the greatest attributes of God is His ability to manage evil. TO DENY THE REALITY OF GOD BECAUSE OF EVIL IS IN FACT ONE OF THE GREATEST EVILS IN ITSELF. Evil exists because freedom exists. To deny God because of this is to deny Him for creating your free will; your center of life. The subject of HELL runs parallel to this topic; with the same questions and assumptions. Hell is in fact the final step in the "management" of evil. As I see it, Hell is a container that keeps the worst of evil occupied with it's own torment so it cannot operate and oppress. Different levels of torment or "occupation" are required for different levels of evil. God's mercy is evident in the concept of hell. God deserves the highest of praise that He can manage, tollerate, overcome , use for ultimate good, and finally contain evil when evil is part of free will. This is like seperating good from love. This is amazing! God is Amazing!
