The Problem of Evil

[Cow Poke]

Maybe we need to come up with a better term. Call us "Saints under Jesus Christ" and then you can have exclusive claim to the term "Christian."

The term "Mormon" seems to work quite well, no? There are no other groups competing for THAT name, are there?

We already have a name for you: Mormons.

You belong to a cult of Christianity, just like the Moonies, or the Jehovah Witnesses, or Christian Scientists.

And, similarly, YOU belong to the cult of Christianity that could be called "Zealot-leaning Evangelicals."

So it's settled, then: Neither group should be called "Christians" and should instead be referred to as "Mormons" and "ZLE's," respectively.

And we have a name for bigots. That name is "bigot"

You're taking on Jeff's attitude, OC. Just sayin. You're a better man than that.

[Sparko]

That's nice. But what does that have to do with this conversation? Are you saying calling you "Mormons" is bigoted?

Great comeback, "buddy in Christ" ! : )

You're not, apparently.

no no no. for the LDS it's "brother in the Gospel."

[Cow Poke]

You are correct - I am not taking on Jeff's attitude.

I'd like to address more along the lines of the topic of this thread.

Does the Bible teach that the whole concept of evil will be erased from existence at some point?

Did the concept of evil exist before Adam and Eve were placed in the GofE?

Will the concept still exist after the end of the world?

[Sparko]

the "concept?"

I can conceive of many things that don't exist in reality.

[OtherCheek]

the "concept?"

Don't you believe that evil is part of reality?
