What is Evil? Why does it exist? Is there a battle between good and evil?
God is not fi ghting for control of anything
Two trees in the Garden
• The Tree of Life
• The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
Why would God put two trees in the Garden, yet forbid the eating of the fruit of one of them?
• God wants us to love Him freely and with freewill
• Without choice, we are just robots
The relationship between good and evil is in of itself a mystery
• God sent His son Jesus to pay the consequences of sin once and for all
• Jesus returned to mankind the authority that had been given to Satan
• Jesus, the last Adam, accomplished this through His sinless life
Why does Satan then still have power?
