    One of the most controversial questions in the Christian world today is this: how can a world created by such a loving God have so much evil? It is a valid question, and no matter where each one of us is in our spirituality, it is one we have all asked ourselves at one point-maybe even asked God.

    does exist, it could be reasonably deduced that He is omniscient and He created a world that He knows all possible outcomes (because God has perfect logic) without directly causing it (pulling the strings).

    text book, is ‘A person who acts freely and knowingly’. Free will is defined by our textbook as “the power of acting without the constraint; the ability to act at one's own will, a gift from God’.

    “Without freedom of choice, there is no creativity. Without creativity, there is no life.” -Benjamin Spock. Life without choice, isn’t really life at all.

It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” - Audre Lord. The Giver’s community is entirely against differences and has achieved ultimate sameness. Thus, not preparing them for…
