PoE #2

In my previous post on this topic, I omitted one comment that is, I think, pertainant.

The syllogism quoted in the article is Deist, not Christian:

  1. If God is all-good, He would want to destroy evil
  2. If God is all-powerful, He could destroy evil
  3. Evil exists
  4. Therefore, an all-good, all-powerful God does not exist
 A Christian  syllogism would be:
  1. If God is all-good, He would want to destroy evil
  2. If God is all-powerful, He could destroy evil
  3. Evil exists
  4. God has acted to destroy evil, done so in Yeshua of Nazareth (the Messiah) and provided  means for us to turn away from it.
  5. Therefore, an all-good, all-powerful God exists
